MSNBC's John Heilemann offered a stunning reversal on the COVID lab leak theory during his Friday night panel appearance on 'Real Time with Bill Maher.'
MSNBC analyst John Heilemann backtracked on his past rejection of the COVID lab-leak theory, telling Bill Maher he had "always" taken it seriously.during a panel discussion about the COVID lab-leak theory.and the U.S. Department of Energy revealed they believe a lab leak out of the Wuhan Institute of Virology is the most likely origin of the pandemic, telling the panel the COVID"dissenters" who strayed away from various narratives at the time are"looking pretty good.
"I agree with you," Heilemann responded."The lab was always a thing where it could have been, where it could have come from… but I will say if you go back to that time, why did people seize on the notion that they'll reject the lab leak theory? Because like everything else in COVID, Donald Trump politicized it from day one."
"There is kind of a systematic effort to try to kind of push the intelligence community to find evidence to support this theory, this conspiracy theory," Heilemann told his colleague Joe Scarborough."And, you know, we've seen that not just in the Trump administration but in the Bush administration, other administrations where a politically predetermined outcome ends up putting pressure- it's applied to the intelligence community and pressure is put on them.
