Chris Cuomo Tells Viewers To 'Go Straight Ethnic' In Cleaning Their Homes Amid Coronavirus Outbreak

The liberal media might be quick to call President Donald Trump a “racist” for pointing out the coronavirus came from China, but perhaps they should check a little closer to home.

CNN host Chris Cuomo is catching flak for suggesting during his show Thursday night that people “go straight ethnic” in cleaning their homes amid the coronavirus pandemic.

It all started when Cuomo asked his guest, CNN's chief medical correspondent Dr Sanjay Gupta, how long the coronavirus can survive on surfaces.

“How long can the thing live, like, on my desk?” Cuomo asked.

“Well, I'm going to give you the answer, but I don't want people to freak out by this... it can live on surfaces for days, actually,” Gupta replied. “If someone coughs or sneezes in here, it doesn't matter if you disinfected yesterday, you've got to disinfect again.”

“Go straight ethnic. Be cleaning everything all the time with the harshest cleaners that you can find,” Cuomo responded, laughing.
