Trump again calls COVID-19 the 'China virus,' a racist and inaccurate slur, in RNC video

In a staged, pre-taped meeting with frontline workers for the RNC, President Trump calls coronavirus "the China virus."

"Some people may get insulted, but that's the way it is."

Of course no one is wearing masks.

And he can't say "plasma" correctly.

RNC video praising Trump on the virus omitted all the times he said it would disappear, his praise of China's handling of Covid, pushed states to reopen prematurely, and encouraged Americans to inject themselves with disinfectants.

The RNC is featuring videos and speakers who are hailing President Trump's response to the coronavirus. They do not include that the president said the virus would miraculously disappear and his multiple statement downplaying the virus as well as face masks.

Interesting that COVID video left out Trump suggesting injecting disinfectant to treat the coronavirus
