I disagree with Conway. I don’t think ‘Kung-Flu’ is offensive. I appreciate Gallows humour. If someone thought calling the Wuhan Flu ‘Kung-Flu’ was funny, more power to him/her.
I don’t think KEC really cares that much but she needed to act the part in order to (successfully) call out that CCP officer’s bluff.
“ I disagree with Conway. I don’t think ‘Kung-Flu’ is offensive.”
Of course it’s not. But Kelly playing along gives these idiots nowhere to go. Whatever issue this was, it’ll be gone tomorrow now.
I’d have to see the video, but my take is that Conway was toying with the reporter.
“Hey, you should tell me who said that because I’m married to an Asian and it offends me, so who is it? Oh, no name, huh? Figures” Didn’t mean to go all Shifty Schiff, but that kind of thing.
The Chinese government is engaging in several public relations campaigns right now.
One is the lie that the Wuhan flu / coronavirus is REALLY an American bioweapon used on China.
The other is a simpler demonization of America. Never mind COVID19, SARS, bird flu and swine flu coming out of China every couple of years - you’re evil racists for associating yet another plague with us. You, you’re the bad ones, you’re the meanies, shut up and do what we want.
