MSNBC Analyst: Trump Mention of 'Chinese' Virus Puts Asian-American 'Lives at Risk'

We've all witnessed the shocking scenes of racists attacking Asian-Americans, accusing them of responsibility for the coronavirus!

Oh, wait: we've seen no such thing. But that didn't stop MSNBC political analyst Karine Jean-Pierre of MoveOn.org from spouting off late Monday afternoon that President Trump's referring to the coronavirus as "Chinese virus" was not only racist, but places Asian-American "lives at risk"..

Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

Their own reporters on MSNBC were repeatedly referring to it as the “Chinese coronavirus” - now it is supposedly racist when President Trump uses the same phrase.

so ignorant and racist... Asian-Americans are not a homogeneous group... many Japanese, Koreans, Vietnamese, etc dislike the Chinese...

Very few if any people could line up 6 or so people from Asia and even some U.S./Canadian indigenous populations and be able to know their origin.

Isn’t that the truth. Over the past week, the level of media and self important Hollywood elites is off the scale. I guess these people really believe that they are suddenly expert epidemiologist and virologists that has taken years for doctors to master.

yes, pathetic.. childish.. using accusations to control speech has been worn out.. get over it..
my grandfather died in that flu epidemic.. they said he was a healthy farmer one day and in less than 48 hrs later he was dead. their lungs drowned.. lungs filled and no room to breathe.
Pres Trump has a lot on his plate.. things like this is carelessness before he came on board.. too much just let go.. china has been covered for the money politicians gained from them.. MHO

Karine, the Marxist/Soros op “MoveOn.org”, and sanity. Ain’t gonna happen in this lifetime.

I wonder what she calls the food that she orders as carry out from a Chinese restaurant? Perhaps she calls it the “racist bigot named restaurant food”.

Hey lunatic, you want a leg roll with that? You could probably use one.

#21. Wait until stupid hears about “Spanish fly” and goes off on a psychotic rant about the racism in calling a fly a “Spanish” one.

The Stupid is extraordinarily strong in this one.

The Chinese killed my dog with their damn poisoned dog food...

I don't give a damn about their thin-skinned BS. If they can dish out death to our pets - then to our loved ones with this virus AND expect us to 'defer to their fragile sensibilities' they can go eff themselves. And the professional pity party defenders in the American press can do the same.

On 2/29 I flew to LA. A passenger who was NOT of wasp extraction leaned over and said “I can’t believe they let Asians on this flight”
