FoxNews is referring to the coronavirus as the "Chinese coronavirus" so, Kevin McCarthy parrots this

bigoted reference.

Trump is so focused on not being “blamed” for Covid-19. I think this change in messaging is very ominous. I’m afraid they will purposely scapegoat the Chinese people. Speak out against this vile xenophobia. We cannot let this happen.

"COVID 19, Coronavirus, the Wuhan flu....whatever they are calling it now"

Went on to dismiss the whole thing and try to say that Trump was handling this like Obama handled Ebola.
