Fox News anchor Martha MacCallum challenged Symone Sanders after the senior Biden campaign adviser called the term “Chinese coronavirus” a “racial slur” on Wednesday’s “The Story with Martha MacCallum." [Video]
Responding to a question from MacCallum about whether former Vice President Joe Biden and others should say “this is a moment to get behind our president” despite their disagreements and “give credit where credit is due,” Sanders criticized the Trump administration both on the number of tests delivered so far and on President Donald Trump’s usage of the term “Chinese virus.”
“Some of what he said today was good, but the reality is he also stood at the podium

The connections between China and the Democrat Party are what I really want to see uncovered. #BeijingBiden

That senior Biden campaign advisor was seemingly defending China by claiming that it was racially offensive to many Americans for President Trump to label the current pandemic as being caused by the “Chinese” corona virus even though the virus came out of China. Now add that to Biden recently going around claiming that China was not any sort of competitor or threat to the USA, and that President Trump should not be interfering with past US-China trade deals adversarial to US interests, that Biden himself was instrumental in supporting, along with his son having in the past big money deals in China and you can see where Biden stands on China, and from recent Chinese propaganda where China stands on Biden. You can bet that Biden’s crew is going to keep him in an airtight cocoon for as long as possible as Biden Monday morning quarterbacks Trump Administration decisions by reading prepared remarks from TelePrompTers and papers.

Simple fact. This flu, like almost all of them before it came from China, created by their medieval cultural practices of having ducks, chickens, pigs and people all intermingled, often in the same house and yard.
No idea who this Sanders person is, but she's full of beans.

Snowflakes need to grow up. It is not unusual to identify the country in which a flu virus has emanated:
1957-1958 - Asian Flu
1968-1969 - Hong Kong Flu
1972-1973 – London Flu
The SARS outbreak (2002-2004) identified afflicted countries: China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Canada, Singapore
Not then, not now, is it a racial slur to identify such countries. Realistically, such identifications are appropriate for historical records.

The Dems and their media lackeys certainly know how to all get on the page their Chinese paymasters tells them to, and fast. Kind of shocking how quick they started parroting the Chinese politburo.
Sorry I just don't need to see more evidence to KNOW that the msm and the Dem establishment are bought and paid for by the corrupt and deadly Chinese government!

#1 - So true.
Reporters who deliberately deflect from the truth do great damage, but all of us who read and never watch network news programs - especially some of the more hysterical ones - know about the China/Biden connections.
And Italy has a huge population of elder citizens because the birthrate is so low. It is top heavy with the old, and it is the elderly with preconditions who are more likely to die from this virus. You have to wonder if the reason a certain number of the deceased lived in assisted living facilities was due to the fact that they did not have family to care for them. And these kinds of lopsided demographics effect the earning power of the country as well, and perhaps that is why Italy had difficulty borrowing money and so connected with China to help them. And so, there has been heavy traffic between the two countries since so many Chinese are in Italian workplaces - again, partially due to demographics. You just begin to see a combination of circumstances that cause certain results. It is not always malicious, just factual, and that is what reporters should report. Instead they lazily get their news from Twitter and do not really serve the people. That is why no one believes them anymore; all they want to do is create hysteria. So no one wants to read or listen to their work product.

Watched this segment earlier this evening. The conversation sank into sheer stupidity on the part of Symone Sanders, and Martha McCallum became obviously impatient/disgusted with the nonsense coming our of Sanders' mouth. Why McCallum just didn't cut Sanders' mic is beyond me.

Follow the $$$. Most of those defending the Communist Chinese are on their payroll. And follow their direction. Not surprised. As for Sleepy Joe, his son Biden was the recipient of largess from the Chinese, so again, I'm not surprised that Sleepy Joe is defending the mainland Chinese Government. Follow the $$$.

Sanders, are you dense? Where did the virus come from? Don't want to offend you, Sanders, but, the first letter of the answer is "C-h-i-n-a".
After playing the video and recalling that Sanders was Gramp's press secretary during his failed 2016 presidential campaign, sure has an axe to grind with America.
Sanders, how come Gramp's had fired you from his team during the 2016 presidential primaries? Sanders, the correct term is "Chinese coronavirus". It came from China. You know, that city of Wuhan of 11 million people where the Chinese coronavirus "escaped" that bioweapons lab? Got it, now?

IF that is the only thing that the dems have is the word "china", its insane. They do not realize that people aren't happy with this situation and we all Know that China is responsible. For the Dems to defend China, and say don't use the word China has me wondering WHO is giving the DNC money? China???

A lot of people are intellectually stunted. When it's a black person, it can lower there comprehensive abilities to where racism is their inane go-to response, like in this instance. You see it a lot. It doesn't make the person look good.

Why is it a racial slur/ because. Because Trump used it. If the Kenyan Lightbringer had said it there wouldn't be a murmur. We know this fully well. As a poster above said it the best response is to start referring to Sleepy Joe as #BeijingBiden

"It’s something that’s offensive to many Americans"
This is the lash that the Left/media uses to keep us in line. It's "offensive" to "many". This is a throw away assertion often used without further definition. How or why is this "offensive"? How many are "many"? You can always find people willing to be upset about almost anything. By this standard, no one could talk at all and THAT is what is at the heart of this. It is suppression of speech, not by law but by assertion by the nebulous "many". It's as "real" as "The bogeyman is going to get you". The power comes from the unimedia's ability to raise a unified clamor and politicians fear of them. Give the inability of the Left/media to be accurate over numbers we should be gravely doubtful of any of their declarations about the "many". Trump simply dismisses them as "fake", which is the truth. Their indignation is not worth consideration and has become ever more absurd because they KNOW they are being dismissed without consideration, their power shattered. They think that yelling louder will make them more believable but instead are more pathetic.

Absolutely no one, outside of the typical liberals, cares two s****s about this. The virus started in China. Period. Not sorry if this ‘offends people’. Liberals are frequently offended by the truth. Biden campaign toadies trying to push this as in issue are looking very petty and stupid.

Amen, #21. Leftists/liberals need to be confronted IMMEDIATELY when they assert crap like "many Americans are offended." How many? Who? How do you know this? Have you taken a polling? Tell me the basis for your assertion, etc. I am sick of this leftist tactic, and it needs to be met with forceful responses.

Like washed up movie stars and celebrities, this is another wannabe...the political celebrity type. They all have the same M O and that's to say stupid stuff to get a headline. Stupid stuff from stupid brains and low IQs.
I noticed how disrespectful some of the press corp questioning with attitude were against President Trump. These lilliputians people should barred from the White House.
I'm sensing the Democrat party is trying to be a little civil these days. They know by playing the hate and race card will not help get them any votes.

After my initial comment, I did some research on this. I found this information: Ebola was discovered in 1976 near the Ebola River in what is now the Democratic Republic of Congo. Wasn't it racist to use the term ebola? Identity politics is getting so out of hand it is becoming absurd. If a person is so concerned about a racist term, maybe Corona Virus shouldn't be used. After all, Corona is a Mexican name etc., etc.
This is becoming so ridiculous. . .

Symone is a walking racial slur and an insult to her own race. By her own stupid definition, the term "Chinese Food" is a racial slur. People like her just look for it. There was a comment that black folks used to have for people like her, "Big headed beetch."

Only a moron like Biden and his affirmative action moron representative get all tetchy about calling a Chinese originated virus a Chinese virus. It was also pointed out yesterday-there is a LEGAL reason for the President to do so. The law that was referenced and invoked yesterday (National Defense Act) SPECIFICALLY lists as authority for its invocation the protection of the USA from FOREIGN diseases or such threats. So stop this stupidity.

So when we stick a lime, sounds like Lyme, as in Lyme, Connecticut, in our Corona's, are we offending people in Connecticut? How about offending the Egyptians over West Nile virus? And look at the Latino's lives we're destroying by using the term Spanish flu. I know it's uncouth, but I really wish sometimes the press secretary and Trump would use the same responses that James Woods uses in his tweets. It's time. It's really time to just respond with "B**w me. Next question."

China is an international outlaw. NOTHING they say can be trusted. The latest figures from there showing no new cases may be a lie for the express purpose of relaxing travel and trade restrictions on them. They don't care about how many of their people die. All they care about is continued growth and power no matter what the consequences are.
