CBS News reporter Weijia Jiang asked Trump why he continued to insist that the US was doing better than other countries when it came to testing for the virus.
“They’re losing their lives everywhere in the world,” Trump replied. “And maybe that’s a question you should ask China. Don’t ask me, ask China that question, OK?”“Sir, why are you saying that to me specifically?” she said, implying it was due to her race.He then attempted to move on to another reporter as Jiang continued to press him about his response.When the woman tried to ask her question, Trump abruptly ended the press conference and walked back into the White House.
“I #StandWithWeijiaJiang against Trump’s racist tantrums,” tweeted “Star Trek” actor and prominent Asian-American activist George Takei.
