... He Turns the Tables on Them

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) hit back on Tuesday after Democrats accused him of being racist for labeling COVID-19 as the "Chinese coronavirus." The disease has also been commonly called the Wuhan virus since it originated out of the city of Wuhan, China.

McCarthy called it the Chinese coronavirus while informing people about the new government website that was created to inform people about the virus. In response, many of his Democratic colleagues said McCarthy was being racist or xenophobic.

Just describing reality will get you falsely attacked as a racist. Pathetic. Little rotten children.

I'd tell them, "so what? So, I'm racist. So what are you going to do about it?" What CAN they do about it but whine.

So referring to the West Nile virus is now a racial slur against blacks and mentioning the German measles is an act of Germanophobia. And if you call the 1918 epidemic the Spanish flu, you have engaged in racism against Latinos.

We could be charged at fixed bayonets on horseback by Moslems and these jackass America-hating bastards would still be shouting “Racist!” to the white guy who identifies them as they bear down.

AH - for the good old days - 1969 and the Hong Kong Flu. No PC then!!! My husband and I were so sick, we stayed home from work for a week and could only crawl to the kitchen to get cold oranges out of the fridge..Thought we’d die and were afraid we wouldn’t!

Exactly.

Though 2-1 no one would ever be upset about the German thing.

Isn’t West Nile racist and religionist against “Arabs” and Moslems?
