Fox News host Tucker Carlson applauded President Donald Trump on Tuesday night for doubling down on using the term Chinese virus to refer to the novel coronavirus, saying the moment was the president at his very best.
During a coronavirus press conference on Tuesday afternoon in which Trump announced hed be seeking roughly $1 trillion in stimulus help to boost the economy throughout the pandemic, the president was asked if he was creating a stigma of racism by labeling the virus Chinese or from China.
Trump replied that he was pushing back on Chinese propaganda that blamed the American military for the virus, adding that he has to call it where it came from. Earlier in the day, an Asian-American CBS reporter noted that a White House official called the virus the Kung-Flu to her face.
On Carlsons primetime Fox News show Tuesday night, the hostwho has consistently described the virus, officially known as COVID-19, as the Wuhan virustook issue with media outlets criticizing the president for his use of the term. Noting that Chinese officials are falsely claiming the virus originated in the United States, Carlson said, Dont be shocked if at least one American media outlet promotes that idea.
