White House Director of Trade and Manufacturing Policy Peter Navarro directly accused Democrats in Washington of working with the Chinese Communist Party to defeat President Donald Trump in the 2020 election Thursday.
“Their whole strategy is based on blaming this administration for a global pandemic created by the Chinese Communist Party,” Navarro told reporters huddled outside the White House. “That’s their whole strategy. They don’t talk about policy anymore. It’s just Donald Trump — bad. That’s their whole.

He added that American citizens “should be very fearful based on what they’re signaling to the Chinese if the Biden folks are able to win in November, they’re basically going to turn this country over to the Chinese Communist Party.” (RELATED: Navarro Explains How Trump Administration Ramped Up Defense Production Act To ‘Mobilize’ Federal Coronavirus Response)
When Navarro claimed that “it’s also true that the Chinese Community Party has thrown their lot in with the Democrat Party and their efforts,” reporters asked how he could possibly know that.
Trump’s top China hawk simply responded, “it’s obvious.”
“If you have a look at the information warfare being waged against this administration through instruments of the Chinese government, if you look at what they’re saying in the Chinese press, it’s very clear,” he continued. “The Democrat Party, that’s obvious. They’ve got nothing, they’ve got nothing.”
Navarro accused speakers at the first two nights of the Democratic National Convention of only “saying, ‘they’re going high’ and the only thing they do is go low on the president.”
“That’s all they do. They don’t talk about their $4 trillion tax increase. They don’t talk about putting petroleum people out of work in the Dakotas, in Texas, in Ohio, in Pennsylvania. They don’t talk about any of that. There’s just no ‘there’ there.”
