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?" (Excerpt) Read more at townhall.com ...

FR POSTED 3/16/20----Hunter Biden's foreign entanglements include the notorious Ukraine deal.....and China. Hunter Biden was a board member of Burisma, a Ukrainian energy company, while Obama named Joe Biden his point man for the Obama White House's Ukraine policy.
Hunter served on the board of Chinese private equity company BHR Partners, organizing a meet-and-greet between Joe Biden and BHR CEO Jonathan Li on Dec. 4, 2013, according to the New Yorker.
The official govt database disclosed details about Hunter Biden's time in China. Hunter visited China on at least two other occasions, once each before and after the December 2013 meeting.
Official records show that Hunter Biden stayed in China for 1-2 weeks in June 2013 and March 2014, costing taxpayers nearly $13,000 in SS details alone.
Expenditures related to Hunter Biden's trips to the Phillippines are filed in official files under "WFP," which stands for World Food Program USA, the nonprofit group that Joe Biden bragged to South Korean students about.
HUNTER'S LUXURY HOTEL PAID BY TAXPAYERS But while Hunter Biden snapped pictures of himself as a man-of-the-people mingling with the disaster-struck children of the Philippines, that did not stop him and his Secret Service guards from checking into rooms at the St. Regis Doha in Qatar, a luxury hotel that cost taxpayers roughly $11,000.
The disclosed expenditures provide scant details about the exact purpose of Hunter Biden's trips........the categorization of all Secret Service expenditures as "miscellaneous" is a "frustrating lack of transparency." "Sometimes there are security concerns for recipients of USA money (either contracts or aid) that require keeping them anonymous to protect them from possible reprisals from those unhappy with our country," one govt official emailed. "But too often the convention is used for convenience because agencies may not have all of the information required to be reported for each foreign contractor."
The Biden family has routinely used the Secret Service for its personal benefit.
While VP, Joe Biden charged rent for the Secret Service agents at his Wilmington, Del, property, costing taxpayers $171,600 between 2011 and 2017.
===========================================
The China connections, the tax-paid SS detail.....all of it is huge red flag that prohibits a Joe Biden president.
