Ted Cruz SLAMS San Antonio plan to label 'Chinese Virus' as hate speech

Texas Senator Ted Cruz is not happy with the city of San Antonio.

City officials there do not want you calling COVID-19, the 'Chinese Virus,' 'Wuhan Virus,' or Kung-fu Virus. T

They are calling that hate speech. In fact, the City Council unanimously passed a resolution that specifically addresses anti-Chinese COVID-19 references, including terms such as “Chinese virus” or “kung fu virus,” claiming such language encourages hate crimes and other incidents against Asian-Americans and Asian immigrants.

That's what led Cruz to react on Twitter, calling the move "NUTS."
