Liberals are completely off their rocker. They are actually attacking GOP Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy for saying “the Chinese coronavirus”, as if he something horribly derogatory:

Note that all McCarthy was doing in the tweet was directing people to the CDC’s website for the latest on the virus. That’s it.
Grace Meng, a Democrat from New York, demanded an apology from McCarthy saying “I’m embarrassed to be his colleague. I’m so disgusted. We await his apology to the nation, the Chinese-American and #AAPI community and to his own constituents.”

Embarrassed? Disgusted? Give me a freaking break. The Coronavirus began in China and McCarthy attributing it to China via the name is neither disgusting nor embarrassing, it’s a fact.
MSNBC was all over this, claiming that McCarthy used “very derogatory, offensive terms”:
