Former President Barack Obama derided President Trump for his recent usage of the phrases “kung flu” and “China virus” to describe the coronavirus.

“I don’t want a country in which the president of the United States is actively trying to promote anti-Asian sentiment and thinks it’s funny. I don’t want that. That still shocks and pisses me off,” he said of Trump during a fundraiser last week for former Vice President Joe Biden, according to the New York Times.
