'Let's Be Serious': Martha MacCallum Shreds a Joe Biden Surrogate Over Politicizing the Wuhan Coronavirus

For whatever reason, the Democrats are harping on the fact that President Donald Trump referred to the Wuhan coronavirus as the "Chinese virus." They claim that it's racist to point out the fact that the virus originated in China.

Former Vice President Joe Biden's Senior Adviser, Symone Sanders, reiterated that point of view during an interview on Wednesday with Fox News' Martha MacCallum. "It's something that's offensive to Chinese Americans," Sanders claimed.

"What President Trump announced today — it’s a tough job but it has to be done – on some of what he said today was good but the reality is he also stood at the podium and called the coronavirus COVID-19, what I would suggest is a racial slur," Sanders explained.

According to the Biden campaign surrogate, what President Trump said is "offensive to many Americans." She said that "instead of namecalling, instead of pointing fingers, talking about poll numbers–"

"The MERS virus is M-E-R-U-S. Do you know why it's called MERS?" MacCallum asked.

"You tell me, Martha. You brought it up," Sanders said.

"It's called the Middle Eastern Respiratory Syndrome because that’s where it originated," MacCallum explained. "This rabbit hole of getting into this whole issue of racism, I think is so counterproductive to what we are trying to do here. I talked to an amazing scholar on China moments ago who said absolutely China, at the leadership level, has tried to obfuscate and be everything but transparent since the very beginning. They lied and lied and lied about this situation. Why is it not okay to recognize where it originated?"

Oddly enough this was a rare occasion we had 'faux noose' on and saw the exchange. Pretty sure Martha was at the "GTFO" point. But, apparently Martha missed this linebacker taking out a protestor at a pedo joe rally along with doctor jill. Glad they weren't on the same set. LOL! Idiots? Why yes, I believe that to be so.

Has Faux News fired Martha yet for telling the truth like they fired Trish Regan?

Why am I not surprised, another "Proud Black African American Queen". Liberal Black women = Clear and present danger to our way of life, complete parasites and breeders of sociopaths.

Interesting, but it is impossible to argue reason and facts with liberals, god haters, globalists, and Demoncrats.

Eyebrows by Sharpie, finger nails in the shape of demonic claws, and NFL football helmet hair. I am sure she is quite a catch on the E-Harmony.

Well, it’s certainly refreshing to see how much Black Americans suddenly care about racism towards Asians.

Democrats are lacerating President Donald Trump b/c he referred to the Wuhan coronavirus as the "Chinese virus."
The knee-jerk "tolerant and compassionate" Dems claim it's racist to point out the fact that the virus originated in China.

She was then-VP Joe Biden's Senior Adviser....... now Symone Sanders (think Stacey Abrams times two), regurgitated
that point of view on Fox News. "It's something that's offensive to Chinese Americans," Sanders claimed.

Joe Biden and the Democrat Party’s Incestuous Relationship with China
American Thinker.com ^ | March 17, 2020 | Steve McCann / FR Posted on 3/17/2020, 12:01:42 PM by Kaslin

Desperation has set in among the Politburo in China as their deliberate mishandling and obfuscation of the Chinese Coronavirus outbreak has threatened, and in all likelihood derailed, their grandiose plans for global hegemony.

In what can only be described as one of the most ham-handed propaganda efforts in recent memory, China is now trying to deflect blame onto the United States for the Coronavirus outbreak that has been recently categorized as a global pandemic. Further, they are unabashedly claiming that any criticism of their “valiant” efforts to stem the spread of the virus or using the nomenclature of Wuhan Virus or Chinese Coronavirus is racist and xenophobic.

While their attempt to implicate the United States may appear on the surface to be absurd, the reality is that much of it will fall on fertile ground previously tilled and seeded over the past 25 years with vast amounts of money and investments. An end-product of China’s infiltration of the American media and education establishment is the almost immediate regurgitation of China’s racist and xenophobic argument by the American mainstream media and the predominantly left-wing professional class.

Hollywood and the entertainment cabal, already awash in Chinese capital and desperate for access to the Chinese market, has refused to criticize China’s handling of the Coronavirus focusing instead on President Trump.

It is almost a certainty that when the pandemic recedes there will be nothing produced that is even remotely critical of China. (Excerpt) Read more at americanthinker.com ...
