'This is racist': Ilhan Omar scolds Kevin McCarthy for calling illness 'Chinese coronavirus'

It is racist to reference the location of the original outbreak of the coronavirus when describing COVID-19, according to Rep. Ilhan Omar, a Minnesota Democrat.

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy tweeted out information about the coronavirus from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Tuesday, writing, “Everything you need to know about the Chinese coronavirus can be found on one, regularly-updated website.”

Omar took offense to McCarthy’s use of the phrase “Chinese coronavirus.” She responded to his remarks, tweeting, “Viruses don't have nationalities. This is racist.”

She is an idiot. Chinese is not a race. China is made up of several races.

Place of origin... how is her white privileged racist boyfriend that she is paying with campaign donations?

If she said the sky is blue, you guys would argue it is silvery white because of the chemtrails.

And once again, you would be right and she would be wrong.

She'll be history after the next election. Sadly, she'll be hired by some liberal crap spewing organization to do and say the very things we're paying for now.
Minnesotans, please don't reelect her or she'll get a lifetime pension!

Actually no one really cares what she has to say because it is always negative about America but she is still here. When she starts to assimilate when American values then she deserves to be heard and not until then. 1:32 appears to be for the underdog - this time she got it right. The communist underdog - should not be pitied. She is dangerous.
