Reporter asks Trump if 'Chinese food' is racist and accuses 'left-wing' media of siding with Beijing
Wash Examiner ^ | March 19 2020 | Mike Brest

Posted on 03/19/2020 11:41:59 AM PDT by rintintin

A reporter for One America News Network asked President Trump if he thought the term "Chinese food" was racist during a line of questioning centering on the president's use of the phrase "China virus" to describe the coronavirus.

Chanel Rion, OANN's White House correspondent, asked the question of the president during Thursday's White House Coronavirus Task Force briefing.

Rion, who spent part of her childhood living in South Korea, asked, "Do you consider the term 'Chinese food' racist because it's food that originates in China?"

"No," the president answered before she finished the question. "I don’t think it’s racist at all."

"On that note, major left-wing news media, even in this room, have teamed up with Chinese Communist Party narratives, and they are claiming that you are racist for making these claims about 'Chinese virus,'" she followed up. "Is it alarming that major media players, just to oppose you, are consistently siding with foreign state propaganda, Islamic radicals, and Latin gangs and cartels, and they work right here at the White House with direct access to you and your team?"

Did the notice the pained expression on the face of the reporter in front of her when she posed her question?

Yep, like they got caught and didn't think anyone would call them out.

I recall one time I was in Los Gatos, CA, at a meeting.

They guy I was with took me to this Chinese restaurant. They brought out a big bowl of ducks feet, I mean it looked like they just chopped the feet right off some ducks...I almost gagged. And the placed reeked...

I couldn’t get out of that place quick enough.

Trump is magnanimous and truthful.

He also know how to handle the petty, trite so-called "reporters" and their revolting gotcha-questions. If they didn't lack the wit to understand how nakedly they reveal their shallowness and malevolence, they would keep their mouths shut, if only to hide their tawdriness and inanity, of which they are no doubt aware, on some level, from exposure. .

First he complimented OAN I think he should continue to identify the reporters so their idiocy is public.

I did notice that, about 3 weeks ago, our HyVee grocery changed the “Chinese” to “Asian” in the ready-to-eat food area.

We call it "Hy-Chi" here is South Dakota!

Novel coronavirus cases could have been reduced by 95 percent had China responded to the outbreak just three weeks earlier than it did, a March 13 study by the University of Southampton has found.
