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?"

Watched her. It was great. Gave Trump an opening to slam the corrupt media.
That’s a refreshing change. A reporter t-ing up softballs for the President to crush.
OAN is pro-America.
Score one for our side!!!! Way to go Chanel Rion,(OANN’s White House correspondent)... YOU made us proud today...
Love it.
Great question!
White House press corp needs more like her.
Nice, bring back the Red Scare. Serves those chicom mouthpieces right.
From later in the article:
“Rion has made headlines this week for a report exploring claims that the virus may have been created in a laboratory in North Carolina. She cited Greg Rubini, whom she described in the report as “a citizen investigator and monitored source amongst a certain set in the D.C. intelligence community.” In a social media thread outlining his theory, Rubini suggested that Anthony Fauci, the head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, personally funded the production of the virus.”
That’s pretty wild. Makes me question Rion’s credibility.
Too bad we couldn’t see the looks on the faces of the liberal ‘elite’ bimbos and pretentious men of the left-wing press when Chanel Rion asked the question... That would have been priceless.
Total win!
I did notice that, about 3 weeks ago, our HyVee grocery changed the “Chinese” to “Asian” in the ready-to-eat food area.
Did the notice the pained expression on the face of the reporter in front of her when she posed her question?
BREAKING: MSNBC announces that after Wednesday they will be asking their employees to LIE from home!
Love Chanel.
Well, that raises the issue of Seattle. Is Seattle actually still America when the state has rescinded American law and publishes irresponsible corona virus propaganda?
I guess such things as beef&broccoli, egg foo yung, and eggrolls, is now considered racist, by the leftist media.
Can’t get the vids to load.
