Every commonsense American that I know pretty much understands where it came from, came from the Wuhan Institute of Virology and doesn't really care if the intelligence community says it did or didn't.

Statement relation comments

AI Verified Relevant: in the hearing context, Greene says COVID came from the Wuhan Institute of Virology and immediately frames the issue as whether it came from the lab or not, so the quote is directly about the statement’s core origin question and makes a lab-incident stance substantially more likely.

Vote answer comments

AI Verified She says COVID-19 "came from the Wuhan Institute of Virology" and frames the dispute as whether it "came from the lab or didn't," which strongly implies support for a lab-related origin rather than natural spillover.

AI Verified Verified: the official GovInfo HTML transcript for the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic hearing dated Tuesday, April 18, 2023, says, after “I now recognize Ms. Greene from Georgia,” the exact sentence: “every commonsense American that I know pretty much understands where it came from, came from the Wuhan Institute of Virology and doesn't really care if the intelligence community says it did or didn't.” The source URL therefore contains the quote, and the attribution to Marjorie Taylor Greene is corroborated because she was a Georgia Republican member of that subcommittee.
