A leader has to lead from the front, and so what President Trump came out –
[Martha MacCallum:]
It’s a tough job at this time at this point.
[Symone Sanders:]
– and some of what he announced today was – it’s a tough job – but it has to be done. And some of what he said today was good, but the reality is he also stood at the podium and called the coronavirus, COVID-19, what I would suggest is a racial slur. It’s something that is offensive to [many] –
[Martha MacCallum:]
Why? Why is that?
[Symone Sanders:]
– to Chinese Americans.
[Martha MacCallum:]
Why would it be, to call it a Chinese virus when it originated in China? Why is that a problem?
[Symone Sanders:]
– it’s something. It’s something that is offensive. It is something that is offensive to many Americans and so the reality is, instead of name calling, instead of pointing fingers, instead of talking about poll numbers, lets talk about what can get done.
[Martha MacCallum:]
Lets be serious for a second here, you know.
[Symone Sanders:]
I’m – I am very serious Martha. It’s inappropriate – it’s inappropriate.
[Martha MacCallum:]
Do you know why its called MERS, why is it called MERS, that virus?
[Symone Sanders:]
You tell me Martha, you brought it up.
[Martha MacCallum:]
Because it’s called the Middle Eastern respiratory syndrome because that’s where it originated. So, this idea, you know, this sort of rabbit hole of, you know, getting into this whole issue of racism, I just think is so counterproductive to what we’re trying to do here. And I just talked to an amazing scholar on China moments ago who said absolutely China at the leadership level has tried to obfuscate and be everything – everything but transparent since the very beginning. They lied and lied and lied about this situation. So why is it not okay to recognize where it originated?
[Symone Sanders:]
This isn’t about – Martha! This isn’t about – this is not about uh uh… if China has been forthwrite and forthcoming – the reality is –
[Martha MacCallum:]
Yes it is. That’s exactly what it’s about.
[Symone Sanders:]
– uh, the Chinese government denied, the reality – not – not in terms of what what the President of the United States is referring to this virus of from the podium – the reality is yes. The Chinese government refused to let um… American scientists in to to research –
[Martha MacCallum:]
Yes.
[Symone Sanders:]
– to see what’s going on.
[Martha MacCallum:]
That’s right.
[Symone Sanders:]
That is stark difference in what happened in the Ebola crisis –
[Martha MacCallum:]
Right.
[Symone Sanders:]
Um… when the United States demanded to come in to African countries. And so that is something we should have and have to continue to push for –
[Martha MacCallum:]
Yeah.
[Symone Sanders:]
– but my only point is and I think the point of folks across the country who have raised an alarm or a question about this are concerned, is that they have noticed that it is offensive to them and in times of strife, particularly when we are dealing with a pandemic that is currently affecting people that have had no contact with anyone overseas –
[Martha MacCallum:]
No one is suggesting that American Chinese people are responsible –
[Symone Sanders:]
– there are black people who hardly contracted –

Every thinking human being who looks at this understands that the reference is to the origin of the virus and also the leadership in terms of how that virus was handled in the country of origin. So I’m going to leave it there.
