Senator Tom Cotton demands that China prove the virus did not leak from a lab, which is an illegitimate rhetorical tactic because proving a negative is impossible.

Senator Cotton says China should provide evidence to disprove Corona. Lab link. The government knows who did it, because Obama has the receipts. Okay, so you can always tell when someone is a dishonest actor when they demand that someone prove a negative. It would be impossible for China to satisfactorily prove that the virus did not leak from the lab, so demanding that they do so is just a rhetorical way to make an illegitimate argument.
