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?"

She was sitting way in the back. Give OANN Helen Thomas' seat and lock it in.

OAN is One America News, or OANN - OAN Network.

A newish cable news network that is center-right in their reporting.

Her and Emerald Robinson are excellent - they should be called on for questions every briefing.

The idiots who ask is ‘chinese food’ racist sit around in media meetings and say ‘lets order chinese’...

What the hell else is chinese food but chinese food? These are the people who get pissed that non-chinese making chinese food have culturally appropriated something.

Absolute libtards.

“That’s a refreshing change. A reporter t-ing up softballs for the President to crush. OAN is pro-America.”

YES! Such a rare occurrence. OANN’s well worth $4.99/month to livestream.

The MSM minions must have vomited in their mouths a little.

Zing!
Hit too close to the truth for others in the room.
You would think the media would be getting a clue that they've gone beyond discrediting themselves into "enemy" territory.
That won't be a good place to be if the proverbial balloons go up.

I am so tired of this type of absolute stupidness. It’s unproductive, not necessary and uncalled for.

Trump must be doing okay now. Media’s back to asking and fixating on completely assinine questions.

So you have a problem with one reporter turning the tables on these rat hack “journalists”? I thought it was great. Maybe you should go back to your DU safe space.

Her family is intensely patriotic and she went to Harvard and is giving some slam time back to the Chinese Communist Party Virus sympathizers.

Way to go Rion!
