“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 they’re 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 don’t 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.”

Spain was about the only country not at war so they were the only country publishing the truth. Germany, France, England, (the US?) were all lying in the “interest of National Security”.

ALS should have never been renamed to “Lou Gehrig’s disease”; you’re right.

I’d have to see the video, but my take is that Conway was toying with the reporter.
“Hey, you should tell me who said that because I’m married to an Asian and it offends me, so who is it? Oh, no name, huh? Figures” Didn’t mean to go all Shifty Schiff, but that kind of thing.

I think Trump should call it the “Xi Jinping Flu” — make it personal (per Alinsky).
