The White House said Wednesday President Trump’s description of the coronavirus as the “Wuhan virus” has led to increased discrimination against Asian Americans. “I think there is no question that some of the damaging rhetoric that we saw during the prior administration calling COVID the ‘Wuhan virus’ or other things led to perceptions of the Asian American community that are inaccurate, unfair, have… elevated threats against Asian Americans and we are seeing that around the country,” White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki told reporters at the daily briefing. Ms. Psaki said President Biden was careful not to make a connection

Trump is still living rent-free in their heads. Like Obama's, this regime will pass the buck on everything.

We had a Chinese high school student from Shanghai spend the school year at our home while she attended the local high school. I asked her when the virus started in China what the Chinese were calling the virus... She said simply "Wuhan"... if you were sick with "Wuhan" .. that meant Covid19.

Black thugs who terrorize Asians take their marching orders from President Trump. I have some trinkets to give you in exchange for Manhattan if you believe that.

The left wants to obscure the fact that the virus came from the Wuhan Institute of Virology that was used by the PLA to fabricate the gain-of-function virus. The Chinese people are the first victims of their own CCP. It is not Asians that must be brought to justice but the CCP that has a strangle hold on the lives of billions of lao baizing.

But it **is** the woohan flu.
It's not like Trump said, "you can't even go into a 711 unless you have a slight Chinese accent. I'm not kidding!"

More appeasement and apologies for Communist Chinese aggression from the Biden Administration. China halted flights between Wuhan and the rest of China while continuing to allow flights between Wuhan and the rest of the world. Only Democrats seem unable to distinguish between the Chinese Communist Party and persons of Chinese ancestry, let alone Asian people generally.

The White House Democrats are despicable. Just when you think they can't be more vicious and irrational, they sink to new depths.

So now we’re not allowed to say where the virus came from—China.

Maria B’s program on FOX Business had on a gentleman who had all the stats and numbers. There are still many more hate type crimes including assault, vandalism, against Jews than Asian-Americans. This whole narrative was made up to again attack Trump.

Everything, everything is viewed through the prism of race, isn't it.
Sorry, the source of the virus IS China. The lethally incompetent People's Republic of Covid has inflicted the virus on the entire world. The inconvenient truth, do not forget it.

Yep, it sure does especially if they get that Chinese virus. That makes it doubly bad for them.

Trump just called a spade a spade. The Biden White House is full of baloney. The people who are perpetrating crimes against Asians in America are not Trump supporters. Most of the crimes perpetrated again Asians occurred in the Democrat cities and in fact involved minority people attacking Asians.

To what extent the bullying may exist throughout the country is unknown; however, in fly-over country, last year a Chinese couple’s 13-year-old daughter became the target of bullying by mostly black students to the point of her having become more withdrawn into her already timid persona. In spite of her father having talked with the school’s principal, the bullying continues and she dreads going to school. The father is trying to enroll her in a local Catholic school this autumn hoping she will not be bullied there. The father blames President Trump for the assaults on Asians and attempts to defend President Trump’s clarity in simply attributing the “source” of the virus as coming from China, while making clear that “America loves the Chinese people,” are futile; the young girl’s father remains resolute in his bitterness toward President Trump.

Rightful President Trump correctly dubbed the manufactured pathogen with its place of origin at least a year ago, but the phenomenon of bLACK people launching so-called random attacks ramped up much more recently. But it's always easy to divert attention elsewhere.
