THE LIE-BERAL MEDIA IN ACTION
It's very important to the state-run propaganda arm of the Chinese authoritarian regime to accuse President Trump of racism and xenophobia for pointing out that the COVID-19 coronavirus began and rapidly spread in the Wuhan Province of mainland China.
So, naturally, liberals in the media and their
DEMOCRAT partners in politics are doing their best to fulfill the Chinese totalitarians' needs.
not only is the designation of this coronavirus strain as the "Wuhan virus" or "Chinese virus" rational and factual, it also has an important legal component to back-up the president's executive actions:
Consequently, the origination of the virus in China and its transcontinental spread across the globe are highly relevant.
They rationalize the president’s authority to address the emergency with Washington’s awesome resources. As President Trump put it:
“Only the Federal Government can provide the necessary coordination to address a pandemic of this national size and scope caused by a pathogen introduced into our country. It is the preeminent responsibility of the Federal Government to take action to stem a nationwide pandemic that has its origins abroad, which implicates its authority to regulate matters related to interstate matters and foreign commerce and to conduct the foreign relations of the United States.”
Moreover, the president’s letter elaborates, Congress has explicitly authorized the chief executive “to prevent the introduction, transmission, or spread of communicable diseases from foreign countries into the States or possessions, or from one State or possession into any other State or possession.”
the president can't engage some of the broad policies he has enacted without the statutory requirements laid out by Congress that there must be a specific international threat facing the nation.
If President Trump is to use his awesome power, he must do so within the context of an international threat, and the only legal way to do that is to identify that threat as originating in China. But, if he does that, he is called a racist.
If he does not engage the power of his office to stop this threat, he is accused of doing nothing.
See how it works?
