Trump Ends News Conference After Heated Exchange

May 11, 2020 at 5:53 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

President Trump told Chinese American reporter Weijia Jiang to “ask China” after she asked him why he views testing as a global competition when thousands of Americans are dying.

When Jiang followed up, “Why are you saying that to me, specifically?” Trump called her question “nasty.”

Trump then ended the news conference.

Stuart Stevens: “How does Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, married to a Chinese American, watch the routine public degradation of Chinese American women by a president and say nothing?”
