Rep. Judy Chu says Trump's 'China virus' rhetoric undermined anti-Asian hate crimes legislation

"Let me say that we have been working for a year to try to get some action done against these anti-Asian hate crimes. But President Trump doubled down with his rhetoric about the 'China virus' and the 'Wuhan virus' and even 'Kung Flu,'" Chu said.

Other lawmakers underscored the gravity of last week's Atlanta shootings, in the context of increasing hate crimes against Asian Americans, in separate televised appearances over the weekend. Rep. Judy Chu discussed two legislative proposals that aim to address hate crimes on Sunday, amid an ongoing increase in discrimination and violence targeting Asian Americans during the COVID-19 pandemic. In the photograph above, Chu speaks to the media after touring the Clint, TX Border Patrol Facility housing children on July 1, 2019 in Clint, Texas.California Republican Reps.

How come South African virus didn’t start violence. You can’t hide the truth, it came from China.

Will the LA Times be called out for their role in what will be an increase in hate crimes against minorities?

after the impeachment was done, the COVID19 spread so far the DNC had nothing else but to shut down the economy. can't stress enough to vote 3rd party.

this anti-asian crap is more DNC pc to-get-the-vote stuff. both parties could of done something about COVID19, but trump & the GOP denied it while the DNC only cared about impeaching trump.

The problem is that both political parties blame China for their own political gain. Even before COVID-19 existed. When COVID-19 hit the US, Trump make it even worse. The politician need to tell the truth and stop using China is taking our jobs as a political rally cry.

I have said before that tRump incited the Asian American violence & the Capitol insurrection.

Nonsense

SO AT EL PASO, TX. SHOOTING.
