P.C. Press Corps Waste Valuable Time at Presidential Briefing to Complain About Referring to COVID-19 as "Chinese Virus"
Vanity | March 18, 2020 | Self

Posted on 03/18/2020 10:18:23 AM PDT by PBRCat

Seriously, how long does this stupidity continue? Charges of racism and xenophobia continue as the press objects to the Trump Administration referring to the COVID-19 virus by its place or origin.

Referring to virus by geography has been going on since time immemorial.

I heard that too. Of course they throw in “vulnerable Asian-Americans”.

Tell you what. Watching the POTUS presser just now.

This has them spooked.

Yesterday I gave two things why this is going the way it is.

One. Being politically motivated since we heard NOTHING about it until after the impeachment fail.

Two. It is a manufactured virus from China.

Now. I am leaning toward the later because if it were completely politically motivated, this POTUS would have attacked in full force.

This presser just now, he was asked why he called it the Chinese virus and he AGAIN said that it was where it came from.
It came from China, from the area of a major bio weapons lab? At least that is what I understand.

Something is going on here that has them really spooked.

How about the white haired doofus who brought up NPR’s 95% no-confidence poll?

Everyone has lost major patience with this type of gotcha stupidity from the press.

It’s to cause trouble for Trump, and to distract. It will permit crazy democrats to claim that Trump is racist.

Also, when pressed on the issue that Tom Cotton has stated that China must be punished, the President did not rule it out. In fact, he almost endorsed the notion that China must pay for what they have done.

That’s maddening. Trump should have said...”With all that’s going on THIS is the question you want to ask??”

We could refer to it as Sonny Corleone would...

But the “Slanty eyed ba@tards” virus would probably be considered Politically incorrect too.

It’s what Sonny called the Japanese when speaking of Pearl Harbor in “The Godfather” for those who don’t know.

Kung Flu...I like it!

Ok, for enough.

President Trump should switch to its real name: CHINESE BIOWEAPON.

Oh our great and wise news media.

How stupid can they be.

Here is the follow up question.

Mr President. Since this came from China, where did it originate and how did it get loose?

There’s been a debate about whether our ban on travelers from China is racist. There’s been a debate on whether requiring a doctor’s permission for those over 70 is age discrimination. Bottom line: lots of folks have been conditioned to think anything is racist or discriminatory.

When the Flu originated in Spain- what did they call it? The Burmese Flu? Nope- the Spanish Flu

What should we call a flue that originated in China? The Ethiopian Flu?
