The myth of President Donald Trump inspiring harassment against Asian Americans just simply won’t die. Joe Biden attacked him for it during the 2020 election and his administration keeps repeating it after the horrific mass shooting in Atlanta this past week. Vice President Kamala Harris repeated this accusation in remarks on Friday and White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki made the claim explicitly on Wednesday.
“I think there’s no question that some of the damaging rhetoric that we saw during the prior administration, blaming, calling COVID ‘the Wuhan virus’ or other things led to perceptions of the Asian American community that are inaccurate, unfair, have raised threatening… has elevated threats against Asian Americans, and we’re seeing that around the country,” Psaki said.

Tragically, it does seem that some Americans have targeted Asian Americans for harassment during the COVID-19 pandemic. Because Americans of other races often cannot tell between Japanese Americans, Korean Americans, and Chinese Americans — all of whom have distinct and proud heritages — this harassment has been rather indiscriminate. Even if only Chinese Americans had faced this harassment, it would still be absurd to blame Americans of Chinese ancestry (some of whose ancestors have lived here for 200 years or more) for a pandemic that started in Wuhan, China, in 2019.

Oh yeah? Who quit buying Chinese takeout during the pandemic?
SAY the P....its WAY better!
Typical Demo-talk.
It just goes to show that the deep state still regards Trump as the main threat. They won’t give the venom spewing against Trump a rest for just one day.
Or AIDS (African origin)?
The lying sociopath Raggity Ann with dead eyes only pushes
CCP propaganda .
The CCP is behind this crap and the so called
protests to
Keep their spies safe and the
fact the Chinese Military virus was s direct
attack on the west .
When your planes are only leaving the country during s
outbreak says it all .
Orange Nerd Bad.
Yeas and that is what is being scrutinized, very, very seriously!
Psaki: You lie for your boss... the underhanded malarkey and China are both familiar playground to Joe biden and son!
And a good part of our side will let them.
So why hasn’t someone attacked a Chinese embassy here in America?
You’re thinking exactly what I was thinking.
Bkmk
Still talking about Trump? Nothing else going forward happening? Pathetic!
At some point, minority groups are going to become exhausted of this constant race-baiting by the left. There was a glimmer of it in the black community over the past four years, and I think Blexit will continue, and Hispanics have never as a whole bought into the teeth nashing — which is one reason the left is constantly having conniptions over race. They seem truly obsessed and consumed by it. Everything will become more inflated and overwrought, the further groups begin to stray.
Aside from the vocal few, though, as with the working class of our country, the constant drumbeat of “the sky is falling” is beginning to fall on deaf ears. And better yet, its driving many away from the Democrats.
The same number as those killed over the Spanish flu.
The same Leftist DEM individuals feeding and then telling PsakiIdiot to spew the BS are the same ones that made up and fed then told Susan RiceIdiot to spew that Libyan BS. Bet.
From my observations, the violence against Asians come mainly from Blacks. Asians are the shop owners and do not put up with the shoplifting and other illegal activities by blacks. It has nothing to do with the China virus.
