WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, Congressman Matt Rosendale (MT-02) expressed strong criticism towards the World Health Organization (WHO) for what he perceived as infringing on American sovereignty and rights. Rosendale particularly targeted the WHO for its stance on gun control, intellectual property rights, and global healthcare policy, accusing the organization of attempting a takeover.
In a public statement, Rep. Rosendale stated, “so basically, in a nutshell, [the WHO] wants to disarm the United States citizens, they want to direct our healthcare, and they want to control our copyright laws. This is what the WHO wants to do. Biden cannot unilaterally give that authority away to anyone, and I can assure you to be clear, the people of Montana will not surrender their sovereignty to any entity or organization outside the United States government.”
Rosendale also directed his frustration towards President Biden, accusing him of relinquishing American sovereignty to the WHO. The Congressman emphasized the importance of maintaining autonomy and sovereignty within the United States, highlighting the stance of the people of Montana in resisting external influence over their governance.
The remarks made by Rep. Rosendale underscore a broader concern regarding the balance between international organizations' influence and national sovereignty. The debate over the role and authority of entities like the WHO in shaping policies that impact individual countries continues to be a contentious issue.
