Showing Original Post only (View all)Trump storms out of briefing after being called out for racism from Chinese-American reporter [View all]
Mondays White House press briefing on coronavirus abruptly ended when a CBS reporter Weija Jiang called him out on his spin over coronavirus testing and the president began arguing.
Jiang asked Trump why he keeps repeatedly boasting about how the United States is best in the world at testing when 80,000 Americans are dead. Trump snapped back, Ask China that question thats a nasty question.
Jiang, who is Chinese-American, asked, Why did you say China to me? At which point Trump abruptly ended the interview and walked away from the press pool.
