    GOP senator says China 'to blame' for coronavirus spread because of 'culture where people eat bats and snakes and dogs'

    WASHINGTON — Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, drew a backlash on social media and from Asian American advocates on Wednesday for claiming China was "to blame" for the spread of the coronavirus because of a "culture where people eat bats and snakes and dogs and things like that." 

    'These viruses are transmitted from the animal to the people and that's why China has been the source of a lot of these viruses like SARS, like MERS, the Swine flu, and now the coronavirus, so I think they have a fundamental problem, the Texas Republican said to reporters, saying he did not object to a geographic name for the virus.  

    Asked about Asian Americans' concerns about racism, Cornyn said, "I disagree. We're not talking about Asians. We're talking about China, where these viruses emanate from and created this pandemic."

    It’s fucking infuriating to see people doing nothing but blame trump and then say China has no blame. Fuck that. China is to blame. Trump is to blame for the response here, but China is to blame. It’s not the first fucking time!

    The blame game never accomplishes anything, these politicians should just shut the fuck up and crawl back to the hole they came from! They can barely get any legislation done at all and now we have to hear from them just blaming China how about you look at your leader of your party asshole senators 
    jesus greets me looks just like me ....

    This is great.  You're pissed and so are the US people.  So are we:
    1. Ready to rejoin the TPP to try to isolate China?
    2. Ready to buy back our bonds that the Chinese gov't holds by raising taxes, cutting defense and cutting entitlements?
    3. Ready to pay 2-3x more for our iphones, tvs, etc. as we remove manufacturing from China?

    No, we're not?  Of course we're not.  So now we're just looking for a useless scapegoat.

    Yep. But there are people that think if you blame China, you must be taking Trump’s side or defending him because he’s also blaming China. That’s so dumb. He’s deflecting the blame he deserves, which is typical of him. But you hit the nail on the head: China is to blame for the global pandemic, and Trump is to blame for not only the poor response here in the early stages, but for how he’s handling it now: lying/misleading, playing the states against each other, etc.

    Cuomo is more of a national leader in all this than Trump is.

    He’s been tremendous for sure. I’m sure he’s gained a lot of supporters so far.

    It’s definitely not an either or. Trump is trying to deflect blame...but it doesn’t mean that China has no blame.  He is defecting his terrible response which certainly China is not responsible for.

    Give up?  No,  just analytical and logical.  But you can burn your emotion up if it feels good.

    Maybe, just maybe, those same people can think both are to blame but one can act to save lives right now, instead of doing the opposite.

    Also, America may want to lay off shitting all over the Chinese right now, they may be asking for their help soon enough.

    Yes,  they control much of our medical supply chain and they're also getting back to work.

    Isn’t that part of the problem? The whole world has to tip toe around China because they control so much vital goods. Is that not a form of bullying? Weren’t they just threatening withholding medicine from us ? When did the problems with China become a strictly right wing narrative?

    He’s grabbing the bull by the horns on this. It’s not an enviable position.

    And ultimately the blame should be on everyone for selling everything up the river for $10 Jean's at WalMart. The US really doesnt like it huh? Then don't sell T notes to their fucking government and wait for them to say, "Ya know what, I wanna cash these in motherfuckers?"

    Talk about not seeing the forest from the trees.

    We shoot our meat up with an ungodly amount of antibiotics. There will come a day when something similar happens here because it could happen anywhere because at some point there will be a virus ahead of our formulas. Blaming China isn't going to do shit when youre probably going to need their help with a vaccine and production.

    Christ almighty, I expect better from PJ fans but I guess not.

    Stay the fuck inside, shut the fuck up and take care of your families.

    Instead, we've got one morherfucker on here spreading conspiracy theories and actively playing the contrarian...because why the fuck not stir some shit up? I looks forward to the inherent thought that this is all China's fault so when EVERY mouth breather in the world makes an excuse to discriminate and god knows what else to someone with Asian descent. This fucking place is gross.

    😂😂😂😂
    shut the fuck up? Unless??  Motherfuckers? Hilarious. This place is gross. You know why? Because it seems you’re only allowed to have one way of thinking about what’s going on. Anything slightly off of that way is ridiculed, shut down, called motherfuckers etc.
