Exclusive — Rep. Lisa McClain on Stop CCP Act: ‘We’ve Struck a Nerve’
Breitbart ^

Posted on 02/12/2022 7:23:18 PM PST by E. Pluribus Unum

Rep. Lisa McClain spoke with Breitbart News about her recently-introduced bill, the STOP CPP Act, and said, “It seems like we’ve struck a nerve,” in response to potential retaliatory sanctions from China.

McClain spoke with Breitbart News Saturday host Matthew Boyle about her new bill.

LISTEN:

McClain discussed her recently-introduced bill, the Stop CCP Act, which would sanction members of the Chinese Communist Party and their relatives.

“Basically the Stop CCP Act restricts travel for the the members of the CCP and their family members, as well as it puts financial sanctions on those same people and it’s clearly that simple,” the congresswoman said. “I mean, this bill sends a strong message that China’s behaviors will not be tolerated.”

McClain said that because Biden has not been tough on China, “Congress needs to be.”

“I would leave you with this thought: Weakness breeds aggression. And all you have to do is look around the world today and see that play out,” she said.

Boyle highlighted an exclusive Breitbart News report about McClain’s Stop CCP Act that explained that Xi Jinping’s daughter would not have been allowed to attend Harvard University if the bill was law. He also brought up a Chinese propagandist’s threat to enforce retaliatory sanctions against members of the U.S. government if McClain’s bill gets passed into law.

McClain welcomed the sanctions, telling Boyle, “It seems like we’ve struck a nerve. And as it pertains to the sanctions. Frankly, go ahead. I don’t have any plans on going to China anytime soon,”

“I don’t send my kids to get educated at the Confucius Institutes over in China. So to me, I’m not really concerned about that,” she said.

I wish the lady good luck, but it is a dream to think that legislation will get past McConnell.

And he is not the only one profiting from an association with China.

The Biden clan and Dianne Feinstein and many others.

This is a good first step to deter China from attacking Taiwan.

Maybe China will invade the Russian Far East while Russia is bogged down in Ukraine.

That would be sweet!

Beat me to it, the first ones to be sanctioned should be the Americans selling us out.

Does this bill do anything to stop the $500 billion we send to China each year?

If not, it is extra stupid to antagonize the your enemy while continuing to fund their expansion.

"Maybe China will invade the Russian Far East while Russia is bogged down in Ukraine."

That's why I don't think Putin is the great genius some thing he is. It is official CCP policy that Siberia is rightfully theirs.

China is already in defacto control of portions on the Russian Far East, and the Russian focus on Ukraine will only allow China to continue this takeover.

Wouldn’t this qualify as a bill of attainder?

We must continue to strike back at Red China 24/7 even if Rich Mitch and his wife take financial hits.

Attack, attack, attack!!! Never stop. Always be creative. A death of a thousand cuts can still kill the enemy!!!
