Biden to Meet Asian-American Leaders After Atlanta Spa Shootings
Wall Street Journal ^ | March 19, 2021 | Atherine Lucey & Tarini Parti

WASHINGTON—President Biden’s trip to Atlanta on Friday, originally planned as part of his Covid-19 stimulus promotional tour, will take on a different tone after shootings in the region this week left eight dead, including six women of Asian descent.

Mr. Biden intended to celebrate the $1.9 trillion package, which passed two months after a pair of victories in Georgia runoffs gave Democrats control of the Senate. He now plans to meet with Asian-American leaders in a state that has become a focal point in a national conversation about violence against Asian-Americans, as well as a partisan battleground over voter access.

Press secretary Jen Psaki said Mr. Biden will “offer his support for the AAPI community in Georgia and across the country and talk about his commitment to combating xenophobia, intolerance and hate.” Mr. Biden has ordered flags at federal buildings flown at half-staff in honor of the victims. He will also receive a briefing on Covid-19 at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The motive for the shootings hasn’t been determined, but the ethnicity of many of the victims prompted an outpouring by many Asian-Americans. Reports of hate crimes targeting Asian-Americans have increased in some U.S. cities since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, which first emerged in China.

Mr. Biden tweeted Wednesday: “We don’t yet know the motive, but what we do know is that the Asian-American community is feeling enormous pain tonight. The recent attacks against the community are un-American. They must stop.”

Biden to Asian-Americans: President Harris and I will get all the white people in this country put in prison soon. Believe me. You’ll be safe again.

More bullshit. According to the media nobody except white males commit interracial attacks or murders.EXCEPT THE OPPOSITE IS TRUE. WHITE MALES ARE THE LEAST LIKELY TO COMMIT VIOLENT INTERRACIAL CRIME.
The term gaslighting gets thrown around a lot now a day, but the media/social media complex truly is engaged in gaslighting..when they make you believe a false reality and it has you questioning your own perception and sanity.

Biden doesn’t have the guts to tell the Asian leaders their women deserve a better life than as whores.

Asians know who they feel more safe around. However like they rest of the identity politics hustlers who gain money and power from pushing a a lie of victimhood, don’t expect these Asian “leaders” to do anything other than blame whitey because thatI the game.

Biden to Meet Asian-American Leaders

Really? There was some election among Asian-Americans where they selected "leaders"? If the WSJ actually cared about accuracy, this headline would read:

"Biden to Meet Leftist Asian-American Race Hustlers Who Don't Speak For Any Other Asian-Americans".

Correct.

Whites are NOT the ones committing crimes against Asians.

Besides. Race had NOTHING to do with these murders. It was all about some insane sexual delusion that lead to the murders.

Hard to fit Black on Black crime into their narrative so they ignore it. And don't try asking him a question because his dementia prevents him from press avails.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Liar. The killer himself said why he killed these women. Based on his sexual problems.

But never mind the facts. The media wants us to believe White people are now targeting Asians.

Bull Cheese.

I’ll give you another example. There’s a Noodle Restaurant in San Antonio being attacked. Graffiti and threatening messages.

The media is reporting that its a Hate Crime. When in fact is pushback against the owner for holding on to stupid mask requirements.
