.lanacondor is calling out President Trump, whose refusal to call the coronavirus by its proper name is racist and puts the Asian American community in danger
directly on Twitter today after he repeatedly referred to COVID-19 as the"Chinese Virus" on Twitter and during televised press conferences.
"To wake up to your chaos is truly a nightmare," Condor tweeted."Please be better. To my followers- be safe. I love you." Attached was an even longer message for Trump pointing out the dangers of blaming China for the virus: By assigning COVID-19 a nationality, he's only further encouraging xenophobic hate across the globe."You have no idea the ramifications your racist words & actions have on the Asian American community," Condor wrote.
The actress continued her note by pointing out what a leader is versus what a leader isn't."You call yourself a leader?" she asked."You know what leaders do? They LEAD by setting good examples and ACTION. Something we've yet to see you do. You need to take notes."Condor's open letter to the president came after she retweeted YA author Ellen Oh, who called out Trump for his use of the racist phrase.
Nearly simultaneously, Trump was asked at a press conference whether he thought he was putting Asian American people at risk by using such language. CNBC correspondent Weijia Jiang tweeted that a White House official even used the term"Kung-Flu" to refer to the virus."No, not at all," Trump said.
