President Trump unveiled a powerful strategy to defend America from the coronavirus in last night’s speech, with a realistic plan of action that’s certain to save lives.
It was spare and credible, buttressed by the foresight he showed in protecting the country early with a travel shutdown from China.
But then there was … CNN’s Jim Acosta, the self-regarding, pious, self-pitying, pompous chief White House correspondent, complaining that the whole thing was … xenophobic.
According to the Washington Examiner, he actually said this:
“[A]t one point during the address,” said Acosta, “the president referred to the coronavirus as a ‘foreign virus.’ … Now why the president would go as far as to describe it as a ‘foreign virus,’ that is something we’ll also be asking questions about.”
He added, “But it should be pointed out that Stephen Miller, who is an immigration hardliner, who advises the president, is one of the top domestic policy advisers and speechwriters, was a driving force in writing this speech. And I think it is going to come across to a lot of Americans as smacking of xenophobia to use that kind of term in this speech.”
