Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt joined "Tucker Carlson Tonight" Tuesday after his state became the first to file a lawsuit against China, accusing the Beijing government of being liable for the severity of the coronavirus pandemic and seeking damages to compensate for "the enormous loss of life, human suffering, and economic turmoil" resulting from the outbreak.
"They [China] are responsible for this and the responsibility lies directly at their feet," Schmitt explained. "I felt it's incumbent upon me as the state's chief legal officer to prosecute that case to the Chinese government."

I can see this backfiring big time. Defense will get it on record about the slow response of US and open a floodgate of citizen lawsuits against local, state and federal governments. All for something no one has any control of.
He can sue all he wants, but shouldn't expect anything. Who will be the judge to make a judgement? Such a waste of time that could be used for something that can actually be of benefit to Missouri residents.
