You didn't say the word "racist", but by accusing someone of having an "agenda" by referring to the virus by a commonly used nickname that includes the country of origin....sounds like you are accusing racism.
Oh, stop--she accused everyone who uses term Chinese virus of following Republican talking points in order to deflect attention away from the President's handling of this crisis. If you doubt the talking points aspect, Google the terms and you'll see clearly how its usage came to be

(And let's leave Bill Maher out of this--idiocy and meanness are not confined to one side of the aisle)

Thank you for clarifying her meaning -- how I read the comment was not as you just explained on her behalf.

Due to CV-19, Scot has given up being a financial professional and has become a mind reader.
