Texas Senator Ted Cruz says the New York Times reporter who called the lab leak theory “racist” isn’t willing to “investigate or report’ on anything that might “hurt her tender feelings”.
New York Times reporter Apoorva Mandavilli deleted a tweet on Wednesday night where she labelled the theory of coronavirus originating from a Chinese laboratory as “racist”.
“Someday we will stop talking about the lab leak theory and maybe admit its racial root,” she wrote.
“But alas, that day is not here yet.”
Ted Cruz retweeted it and slammed the reporter.
“This is the “science” reporter for the New York Times,” he wrote.
“She calls herself an “investigative” reporter, covering Covid-19.
“She just isn’t willing to investigate or report on anything that might hurt her tender feelings.”
The reporter later deleted the tweet and said it was “badly phrased”.
