'I'm Married to an Asian': Kellyanne Conway Demands Reporter Name White House Official

‘I’m 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 Conway’s message to those staffers was.

“Excuse me, excuse me, that’s been alleged, no — Yamiche, excuse me, Yamiche; I’m not dealing in hypotheticals, of course, it’s wrong, but you can’t 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, I’m 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.


Video at link. Kellyanne isn't racist because her kids are 25% Filipino.

"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.
