Touchy, touchy:
"China is to blame for the coronavirus and President Trump is not happy about it," says @VP.

Maybe they let Sen. Harris’ comments through because of the nice things she said about the communist nation?
Allies hold in higher esteem Xi Jinping than @realDonaldTrump "because of a failure of this administration," says @KamalaHarris. pic.twitter.com/Sl117HhhZC

China censored Mike Pence, but let their people hear Kamala Harris.
