"Horrified by reports of discrimination & hate directed toward Chinese & Asian-Americans. Government officials should lead by example & stop using inflammatory & xenophobic language when discussing COVID-19. It's unacceptable and particularly harmful during this moment of crisis."

"The CDC Director has agreed that it is "absolutely wrong & inappropriate" to use labels like "Chinese coronavirus." Let's all take his advice. This is not the time for public officials to be creating divisions between Americans. We must all work together to beat this virus."
