Im Married to an Asian: Kellyanne Conway Demands Reporter Name White House Official Who Said Kung Flu
https://www.mediaite.com/news/im-married-to-an-asian-kellyanne-conway-demands-reporter-name-white-house-official-who-said-kung-flu/?utm_source=mostpopular
President Donald Trump senior advisor, Kellyanne Conway, demanded CBS News White House correspondent Weijia Jiang share with the press pool Wednesday the name of the official who billed referred to coronavirus as the slur Kung-Flu to her face.
The exchange on the White House grounds began when PBS News White House correspondent Yamiche Alcindor referred to the staffers calling the virus the Kung-Flu virus while asking what Conways message to those staffers was.
Excuse me, excuse me, thats been alleged, no Yamiche, excuse me, Yamiche; Im not dealing in hypotheticals, of course, its wrong, but you cant just make an accusation and not tell us who it is.
Who is it? Come and tell us, Conway continued.
Yamiche, if you want to argue, Im going argue about standing away from each other and washing our hands and everything, Conway continued.
Tells us who it is, Weijia who was it, tell us! Conway stated.

(82,849 posts)1. So you're married to an Asian, Kellyanne
What's that got to do with the price of tea in China? Answer the question.

(82,849 posts)7. Or, turn it around on her
"I'll tell you who told me about kung flu if you tell me who Trump was referring to when he made his latest self-aggrandizing statement." Like this morning, when Trump said "I heard a TV station say that no president before me has done so much, in such a short time, as I have." What TV station, Kellyanne? Tell me that, and I'll tell you who told me about kung flu. And then we'll all watch in utter amazement when that person is fired.
