Remember when President Trump referring to COVID-19 as the “Chinese virus” caused Democrats and the media (redundancy alert) to lose their minds because they thought it was unfair to single out a particular region? Perhaps those same people won’t mind the new approach being taken by New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo — we certainly know China will approve:
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is now describing the coronavirus pandemic that originated in Wuhan, China as a "European virus."
He said this in today's presser multiple times.
Last month he lavished praise on the Chinese government for their efforts in combatting the virus. pic.twitter.com/fTSLFRVBqr

Not a chance anyone in the press will call out this dangerous charlatan. pic.twitter.com/81SQ4PM3Ne

Wait, haven’t Democrats declared using particular locations as colloquial names for viruses to be racist? Or is that only when Trump does it (by correctly describing where a virus originated)?
This is Pravda level stuff. https://t.co/dp4Eg34mLA

Without a doubt.
Damn. And I thought imperialism had ended decades ago. https://t.co/FxOYiab6rw

"European virus"?
And this victory lap Democrat Gov. Cuomo is doing is odd given the reporting last week that 65% of the outbreaks across the country came from New York

Cuomo’s now gone beyond shameless.
I get #NYC media covering for this sorry excuse for a governor, but NYS media in #ROC, #BUF, #SYR are complicit in not holding this jerk’s feet to the fire.

"Yes, we had the European virus attack us and nobody expected it."

Unbelievable. To be clear @NYGovCuomo, it’s the CHINA virus.

Considering the majority of cases in the U.S. came from New York, I’m cool calling it the Wuhan-New York virus.#WuhanNewYorkVirus https://t.co/n1KD3gUUef

.@NYGovCuomo refers to COVID-19, the virus that originated in China, as the "European virus."
This is how dumb he thinks you are.pic.twitter.com/T997JRGXAJ

Will “European virus” catch on with Dems and the media?
1/3 of his city is dead and he's decided we still can't go offending the feelings of woke online mobs and the Chinese State Government. https://t.co/XDNXEYyDPv

FYI CNN and Fredo are going to pick this standard up and run with it as well.

I'm sure Fredo will hold his brother to account, like a true journalist would!
