The House of Representatives passed a bill Tuesday to address the increase in hate crimes and violence against Asian Americans during the coronavirus pandemic, clearing the legislation for President Biden to sign.
The COVID–19 Hate Crimes Act passed by a 364-62 vote; all 62 votes against the bill were from Republicans. The Senate approved the legislation last month.
A rise in COVID-19 cases, the first instances of which were reported in China, has been linked to an increase in attacks on Asian Americans. Democrats have pointed to former President Donald Trump's frequent use of racist phrases such as "kung flu" to describe the coronavirus as a link to the increase in anti-Asian sentiment.

I'm beyond disgusted that any Republican voted for this canard.
You’d better watch out for those Black Supremacists.
To those with brains, a crime is a crime.
To those still unsuccessful in their search for brains, they invented hate crimes.
There is only one true hate...and that is for leftists/Democrats/the media. (partial, reluctant /s)
Point with pride. View with alarm. And in any case, LEGISLATE! They wonder why they are at 26 percent approval.
Knockout game will continue and white people will still be targeted and Congress does not care.
Softening us up for when the chinese troop transports dock in Los Angeles and Seattle.
That’s racist.
Too many Asians are brainwashed to believing that poking fun at COVID’s origin in China is the reason why their grandmothers and grandfathers are getting their heads bashed in with cinderblocks. Morons.
I call it the Wuhanic Plague. As for the hate crimes, it ain’t Whitey doing it.
And in any case, LEGISLATE!
Yep waiting for the white, hetero, christian, goes to work every day anti hate legislation.
Ah yes, the race-baiting Congressional scumbags working hard to # up the Country.
Blacks disproportionately impacted!
I’ll say it again, Hate is a Motive, it isn’t a Crime.
Hate Crime Legislation is Thought Crime Legislation and is 100% Unconstitutional, period.
Assault and Battery is already against the Law, just like Murder.
Did anyone stand up in Congress and explain the FACT that most of these supposed Hate Crimes against Asians are being committed by Blacks? Didn’t think so.
So black thugs are going to be prosecuted for hate crimes? We were told that wasn’t possible since it’s impossible for them to be racist.
Kung Flu = China Flu = Wuhan Flu = The Chinese Restaurant Scene in the Movie “A Christmas Story”.
Remember when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Me neither.
Exactly. This will have no teeth. It’s just window dressing for the dims.
How utterly convenient and useful for China when one their many spies and IP thieves gets in trouble.
<Xi Jinping’s bought and paid for Democrats and the media will shriek anti-Asian racism and the Republicans will fold like a dish cloth.
You nailed it.
This is about voting blocks, nothing more.. They already have the vote guaranteed of the attackers and now move to get the vote of the victims ....so much for one people or melting pot theology..the votes are in creating an American that is a racial stew
