Jon Husted in The Cleveland Plain-Dealer


On Civil Rights: Criticized for referring to COVID as the "Wuhan virus"

Oanh Loi-Powell came to the United States in 1975 as a refugee from Vietnam. She describes herself as a political independent, she voted for Gov. Mike DeWine and Lt. Gov. Jon Husted in 2018.That's part of why she was caught so off-guard when she saw a tweet from Husted referring to the "Wuhan virus." Husted's tweet, and the ensuing defense of his use of the term to describe the coronavirus, has left many Asian Americans in Ohio feeling dismayed.
