House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii), and Reps. Grace Meng (D-N.Y.) and Andy Kim (D-N.J.) held a press conference on the COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act on Tuesday.
“This week I’m using my power as Majority Leader to make sure the Senate will vote on Senator Hirono’s COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act, which my fellow New Yorker representative Meng has sponsored in the House,” said Schumer.
Wait...So assaulting Asians is legal and they want to make it illegal? Is that it?
Considering who the perps perpetrating the hate crimes have been, that be racis.
If hate against Asians is a crime then why isn’t Harvard shut down?
Gawd I wish these people would all just go home.
Are some people more equal than others?
I think their real goal is to make it illegal to say anything critical of Communist China.
Depends on the situation.
“Considering who the perps perpetrating the hate crimes have been, that be racis.”
That’s what I was thinking. Do they really want to go there? Will the Dims allow, and does even one Repuke have the guts, to bring up what group makes up the overwhelming number of perps?
That was my initial reaction. What are they going to do? Make it double or triple illegal and then place the black peeps in double secret probation?
What legislation? Wait so that was legal before?
I guess they want to lock up all the blacks beating up Asians?
A hate crime, is a hate crime. Sounds like all the races are going to be protected by the Anglo Caucasians.
But when do Anglo Caucasians become protected?
So,...
The dems want to pass a law to stop dem voters from attacking Asians?
The violence problem, the hate problem is only in certain cities. Keep the US Congress out of this and tell the cities where these problems exist to pass laws.
Researched and reported today:
Targeting whitey is okay.
The Republicans have a golden opportunity Here. Hopefully they won’t blow it. They should enthusiastically embrace this legislation, and insist on including prohibitions against discrimination, including in college admissions. Beat them at their own game
Yes, if the Democrats think they can co-opt votes from a given minority group.
Being that Asians vote overwhelmingly Democrtatic, I think the Dem strategy is winning.
