Obama said Trump's use of term 'kung flu' 'shocks and pisses me off': report
By John Bowden - 06/29/20 04:49 PM EDT


Former President Obama reportedly issued his strongest response yet to his successor's referring to the coronavirus as the "kung flu" during a recent virtual appearance, telling supporters that such sentiments are completely inappropriate coming from a U.S. president.

In an invite-only fundraiser held last week for former Vice President Joe Biden's presidential bid, Obama rejected President Trump's use of the term during a youth rally in Arizona, according to The New York Times.

“I don’t want a country in which the president of the United States is actively trying to promote anti-Asian sentiment and thinks it’s funny. I don’t want that. That still shocks and pisses me off,” Obama reportedly said.
