U.S. President Trump leads the daily coronavirus task force briefing at the White House in WashingtonThe National Republican Senatorial Committee sent GOP campaigns a 57-page messaging strategy that urged Republican candidates to blame China for the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a document obtained byThe memo said candidates should blame their opponents for not being tough on China and called for them to reject claims that calling COVID-19 the "Chinese virus" is racist.

The first time as an African I think the GOP is right. They should push the WHO to rename the Virus ( Chinese Vurus).

The blame game. Trump thanked the Chinese for their transparency and praised their leader. What’s changed?

China is definitely at fault

Pure evil!!!

guess the GOP doesn't need the AsianAmerican vote this november of course GOPChairwoman and the Republicans will argue that this message is directed towards China only but tell that to the never trumpers who have escalated violence against ALL asians living here

USA could isolate country and keep this Chinese Virus out of land.

Because... wait for it... it is their fault and that is where the virus came from so... not racist

SenateGOP on payrolls unlikely

Forget the racial connotations behind that and that it's not a good strategy. Let's assume it is - the President is complicating the GOP's 'blame China' messaging. He is a liability with his loan to China due halfway through his would be next term. He's weak on China. GOP knows

So, facts ok. We like facts. Even though it would be a first from you guys, we would love to see some facts!

Yes sir it is not

Wow.

Hoarding which equipment? The equipment America sent to them, or the equipment China shipped to us?

These are the facts and they are indisputable. The virus started in China. The Chinese with cooperation from the WHO withheld information about transmission for a period of time possibly months. People who had it traveled to the U.S. bc we didn't know about it.

Why would that take 57 pages?
