New Hampshire Senate candidate Don Bolduc will not stop fanning the flames of xenophobia despite the advice of health experts.

New Hampshire Republican Senate candidate Don Bolduc is insisting on using a racist term for coronavirus, incorrectly calling it the "China Coronavirus."

"This isn't being racist at all," Bolduc said during a March 21 interview with WSMN 1590 radio host Dianna Ploss. "I'm not a racist person at all. I served 33 years in the military, an institution that was the first to desegregate of any in our society in 1948. So I really don’t want to hear any noise that gets thrown at me about being a racist because I call this the China coronavirus or the president does, or anybody else does, because it is, you know. And I'm not racist about it."

Bolduc was referring to numerous instances of Donald Trump using racist phrases to refer to the new coronavirus.

4. lying sack of sh*t...once the virus left China it ceased being the China virus.

The only purpose using China virus is to blame and attack. a fascist is a fascist.

5. I've noticed that they are using Chinese Communist Party when blaming them for

mishandling their response and covering it up. Funny how that and the "Chinese virus" just started up. I don't think in any of Trumps announcements, speeches or rallies did he refer to them as Chinese Communists. It's the ol' scapegoat play. Make them sound evil.

6. Learned my lesson in early 60s when this guy swore he wasn't a racist, even as they locked him up

after he was convicted of burning a Birmingham church.

7. Harry Truman (a Democrat) desegregated the military in 1948.

So don't you take any credit for it.

If you were around then you would have opposed it all the way.
