This morning a White House official referred to #Coronavirus as the Kung-Flu to my face, CBS News reporter Weijia Jiang tweeted on Tuesday. Makes me wonder what theyre calling it behind my back.
As PBS NewsHour correspondent Yamiche Alcindor questioned her about the rhetoric, Conway turned to Jiang, who also stood in the slightly social-distanced press scrum outside the White House and demanded to know which official she was accusing. Weijia, who was it? Tell us!
When Jiang replied by saying, I think you understand how these conversations go, Conway shot back, No, I dont know how these conversations go, and that is highly offensive so you should tell us all who it is.
In his own press conference on Wednesday afternoon, Trump was asked by Alcindor if he thinks if either term puts Asian-Americans at risk. No, not at all, the president said. I think they probably would agree with it, 100 percent. It comes from China.

Lyme Disease.
Legionaire’s Disease.
Everything’s got some kind of nomenclature.

Fake News reporter makes up Fake News. But even if it was said, who cares? I'd go with WuFlu, personally, but they she would consider this racist, too.

I disagree with Conway. I dont think Kung-Flu is offensive.
Of course its not. But Kelly playing along gives these idiots nowhere to go. Whatever issue this was, itll be gone tomorrow now.

It was called “Spanish Flu” because, being a neutral power during the Great War, the Spanish press was the only European press reporting on it.

So there's little chance she would have a "slight Indian accent" or work in a Dunkin Donuts? Oh, no outrage over that one I see. She must be a RACIST!

Makes me wonder what theyre calling it behind my back.Is she that dense? If someone calls something by a politically incorrect name to your face there is no need to wonder about or speculate on any other name. Further proof of how dense journalists are.
