Michigan Democrat Gary Peters has a China problem...

Between MSNBC interviews and TV ads, Peters is trying to rewrite his record of being soft on China.

A quick thread. #MIsen #MIpol
Michigan Democrat Gary Peters went on MSNBC this weekend to talk tough on China...

The problem? As recently as MARCH, Peters was praising the Communist Party of China for its response to the Coronavirus.

Peters on MSNBC trying to talk tough:
IN FEBRUARY: Democrat Senator Gary Peters praised the Chinese Communist Government's Coronavirus response, saying:

“Certainly, the Chinese government has instituted some very, very aggressive actions around Wuhan province, and they need to continue to do that." #MIsen #MIpol
IN MARCH: Democrat Senator Peters praised the Chinese communist government...

"We saw that in China. Outside of Hubei province, a lot of the factories continued to work... We've gotta be doing that same kind of thing here — thinking strategically."
Democrat Peters released a campaign ad last week saying he supported President Trump's Chinese travel ban.

The problem? There are ZERO statements from him saying anything about the Chinese travel ban. No statements, press releases, tweets, posts, etc. https://twitter.com/PolarBarrett/status/1260510346076237825
Michigan Democrat Senator Gary Peters' real record on China?

Since being appointed to serve on the Congressional Executive Commission on China (CECC) in 2015, Peters has missed nearly 90 PERCENT of its hearings.

NEW THIS MORNING: @JohnJamesMI is out with a new ad holding Peters accountable for his deception on China

"Peters sits on the committee to hold China accountable. 5 years. 18 hearings. Peters only shows up twice. Does nothing about China." #MIsen #MIpol
