Press secretary Kayleigh McEnany said Monday that the president has no regrets about using a racial slur to refer to the deadly virus that originated in China.

President Trump’s press secretary defended his calling the coronavirus the “kung flu” at a rally in Tulsa, Okla., over the weekend.

“The president has said very clearly that it’s important that we protect our Asian community in the U.S. and all around the world,” the press secretary replied. “They’re amazing people and the spreading of the virus is not their fault.” At his rally in Tulsa on Saturday night, Trump said the virus, which originated in Wuhan, China, has “more names than any disease in history.”

“When you do testing to that extent, you’re going to find more people. You’re going to find more cases!” Trump exclaimed. “So I said to my people, ‘Slow the testing down, please!’”

What he said is he’s never seen a virus with so many names. Had he ever said it before weijia claimed a Whitehouse staff member (who still remains nameless) said it to her? She should tell who really said it or did she just make it up to play victim and make it all about her?
