The MSM have discovered that the ‘Wuhan virus’ and ‘Chinese coronavirus’ are racist dog whistles just in time to attack Republicans.

The New York Times tweeted an article suggesting the use of the term ‘Wuhan Virus’ could be considered “racist and xenophobic,” ignoring the fact they used the term in late January and beyond.

Some conservatives, including Mike Pompeo, Sen. Tom Cotton and Rep. Paul Gosar, are using the term “Wuhan virus” to describe Covid-19. Critics accused the term, which goes against the recommendation of health officials, of being racist and xenophobic. https://t.co/z31zlTHCaL

Washington Examiner:

The same news media that spent the entire new year referring to COVID-19 as the “Wuhan virus,” the “Wuhan coronavirus,” or the “Chinese coronavirus” have decided this week that those terms are racist now that Republicans are using them with greater frequency.

I guess we are supposed to forget about all those times that newsgroups referred to the virus by the name of the county and city where it reportedly originated and blindly accept that it is probably racist when Republicans do the same.  More

Oh please. It started in Wuhan. Now it is called by its technical name Covid 19. It is not racist.
