CNN commentator Chris Cuomo admonished President Trump for repeatedly calling the coronavirus “the Chinese virus.”

“Calling it the Chinese virus or the Wuhan virus or the Kung Flu. Listen, you may think it’s clever, but it’s hurting,” Cuomo said on his nightly show on Wednesday. “The idea, ‘Well, it did come from China.’ Then why doesn’t Fauci and other top health officials, why don’t they call it that? You know why? Because it could have come from anywhere.”
