President Slimed by Biden Aide

For John, BLUF:  Is "racism" always the Democratic Party fallback position?  Nothing to see here; just move along.

Biden Adviser Sanders: Trump Referred to Coronavirus by ‘a Racial Slur’

From Breitbart, by Reporter Ian Hanchett, 18 March 2020.

Here is the lede:

On Wednesday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “The Story,” Biden Campaign Senior Adviser Symone Sanders said that while some of what President Trump said during that day’s coronavirus briefing was good, he also referred to the coronavirus by “a racial slur.”

This is a manufactured crisis.

People have been identifying diseases by place of origin, even if the wrong location,♠ for over a century.  Longevity of such attribution doesn't justify it, but ease and accuracy of communication does.  As does the proper understanding of the vector of the disease.  It come from somewhere, rather than magically appearing out of nowhere.  Why are we hiding from that.  There is only one reason.  The Democrats and their fellow travelers in the media find other handles to hot to grab with regard to the President and the Coronavirus and so they are going with one they have thought effective in the past.  It is past disgraceful, it is despicable.  Further, it covers over the actual anti-Chinese racism we see in places like Harvard and the New York City Public School System.
