According to a news agency report, the CBS reporter Weijia Jiang questioned the US President about why he keeps harping on the US doing better than other countries when it came to testing for the virus.
The reporter retorted “Why does that matter? Why is this a global competition when, every day, Americans are still losing their lives?”
On this, the President said, “They’re losing their lives everywhere in the world. And maybe that’s a question you should ask China. Don’t ask me, ask China that question, OK?”
According to the Twitter bio, the journalist is a “Chinese born West Virginian”.
She insisted on asking the President why was it specifically said to her, hinting if it was because of her race.
"I’m saying it to anybody who would ask a nasty question like that,” Trump replied.
