Rivera, speaking to the president on hisĀ WTAM radio showĀ out of Cleveland, asked Trump about his repeated use of “China virus” to refer to the coronavirus, also known as COVID-19.
“I have some Asian friends who say, you know, that itās not very polite, that they worry that it has a racial overtone,” Rivera said.
Trump said he doesn’t worry about using the term, adding that he also has Asian friends.
āI do, too. We have great Asian support, and they understand exactly what it is that weāre doing and saying, and they understand how Chinaās hurt our country,” Trump said.
He then went on to criticize previous administrations for their trade policies with China.
āFox News contributor Gerald Rivera admitted that he now finds itĀ near impossible to defend the president.
āIn an interview with theĀ New York TimesĀ that came afterĀ Rivera blew up on a fellow Fox News hostĀ over the āsend her backā chant aimed at Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) the longtime Fox personality said he has all but given up on Trump.
āāAs much as I have denied it and averted my eyes from it, this latest incident made it impossible,ā Rivera confessed.
āāMy friendship with the president has cost me friendships, it has cost me schisms in the family, my wife and I are constantly at odds about the president,ā he added.
āI do insist that heās been treated unfairly. But the unmistakable words, the literal words he said, is an indication that the critics were much more right than I.āā
