Putting the onus back
White House press secretary has no problem with Trump’s racism.
White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany was asked if Trump regrets using the racist phrase “kung flu” to describe coronavirus during his Saturday rally. McEnany replied that the president “never regrets putting the onus back on China” for the coronavirus pandemic.
But that wasn’t the question. The question was whether he regrets using the racist phrase “kung flu” to describe the coronavirus. Lying Fox News sleaze changed the subject.
Another reporter noted that, earlier this year, White House adviser Kellyanne Conway described the phrase “kung flu” as offensive and wrong.
Asked repeatedly whether the White House disagrees with Conway’s characterization, McEnany ignored the question and then called on someone from the far-right website One America News Network.
Of course she did.
While China is certainly not innocent in their handling of the virus, they cannot be blamed for the fact that we did nothing while the virus moved to our shores. We still don’t do enough, and that is not the fault of China.
Let’s put the onus where it belongs, Mr. Trump – on your slumped shoulders.
When you’re being more evasive and despicable than Kellyanne Conway, it’s time to rethink your life choices.
To be honest, I misread the title and thought the arsehole had already been re-elected.
