Senator Kamala Harris (D-CA) introduced a resolution over the past week calling on the Senate to condemn the term “Wuhan virus” as racist.
In her resolution, Harris also targeted terms like “Chinese Virus” and “Kung-flu,” and it is the latest attempt by Democrats to suddenly denounce the tradition of naming viruses based on where they originated.
According to the Daily Caller:
The resolution, introduced May 14, describes the terms “Chinese Virus,” “Wuhan Virus,” and “Kung-flu” as “anti-Asian terminology and rhetoric” that “have perpetuated anti-Asian stigma.” The resolution on the Senate to condemn “all forms of anti-Asian sentiment as related to COVID–19,” including “all manifestations or expressions of racism, xenophobia, discrimination, anti-Asian sentiment, scapegoating, and ethnic or religious intolerance.”
Upon learning of Harris’ resolution, actor James Woods blasted the senator for specifically targeting the term “Wuhan virus”.

Woods argued that COVID-19 is referred to by that name because “that’s where it started.” He then took a jab at the Kamala’s past to put things in perspective.
Woods tweeted, “Dear Kamala Harris, we call it the #WuhanCoronaVirus because that’s where it started. Just like we call call you #HeelsUpHarris, because that’s where YOU started. Oh, and then, of course, there’s that pesky little ditty called the First Amendment.” See Below
