Earlier this evening, Donald Trump took a terrible situation and found a way to make it even worse by ignorantly referring to the coronavirus as the “Chinese Virus” in a tweet. Democratic Congressman Ted Lieu is having none of it:

Dear @realDonaldTrump: Asian Americans will likely encounter more discrimination because of your tweet below. Please stop your unnecessary rhetoric.#COVID19 is now an American virus, an Italian virus, a Spanish virus. We all are impacted & we all need to work together. https://t.co/yLzNmpJZHs
