Democrats said Sunday that the shootings last week at spas in Atlanta, which left eight people dead, six of whom were Asian American, were hate crimes that demanded federal charges.
"We all know hate when we see it," Sen. Raphael Warnock said.
The shootings stirred up increased fear and anger in Asian American communities at a time when anti-Asian American hate incidents have spiked during the coronavirus pandemic. Democrats, local officials and community advocates have pushed law enforcement agencies to characterize the killings as a hate crime.
Speaking in Atlanta last week, President Biden said many Asian Americans have "been attacked, blamed, scapegoated and harassed" in recent months, adding, "Silence is complicity."
Robert Aaron Long, 21, a white man, was charged with eight counts of murder and homicide and one count of aggravated assault. Authorities have alleged that he said the attacks were not racially motivated, because, he is alleged to have told investigators, he has a "sex addiction" and he saw the spas as "a temptation for him that he wanted to eliminate."
Investigators had yet to find concrete evidence that would be enough to build a federal hate crime case against Long.
Warnock said the incident is cause to renew efforts to pass gun reforms nationwide.
"This shooter was able to kill all of these folks the same day he purchased a firearm," he said. "But right now, what is our Legislature doing? They're busy under the Gold Dome here in Georgia trying to prevent people from being able to vote the same day they register."

AMEN!!!!
Yes, we do.
It’s all over the Fake News, the Democrat Party a and Warnock ugly mug.
Obama’s First Commandment: Hate thy neighbor as your enemy.
Truth is hate to people who hate truth, so there’s that.
The mirror, right, Dems?
Ditto
“We all know hate when we see [a white guy].”
It’s already been determined he had a bad day. Do they think it was a good day?
Thanks, Georgia voters. Enjoy your bloody checks.
Actually you see an opportunity to politicize a tragedy when you see it.
There has bean a history of violence against Asians in recent times...and it wasn’t from Republicans so they ignored it.
A full quarter of his victims were white. Do their murders just get ignored because they’re counter to the narrative?
Apparently we don’t ALL,know hate when we see it.....
Democrats, progressives and liberals are so busy HATING EVERYBODY AND EVERYTHING, while they relabel and redefine what “hate” is that we are now all living in an Orwellian nightmare.
The first thing you learn when you debate is not to get suckered with platitudes like "We all know", "It's common knowledge", "We can all agree" or "Follow the science"...
If you agree you have already lost.
The left was thrilled when this turned out to be a white guy, to change the narrative of blacks attacking asians, which they studiously ignored.
Yep! The 'rats know hatred very well; it drips off of their every word! Their psychotic hatred compels them to stomp out anything they don't like. If we don't deal with these sickos, nature will have to.
They all hated Rush Limbaugh even though they never listened to him. They all hate Donald Trump because they have been taught to by hate mongers. They all hate Republicans because ... well, because they are Republicans. Like spoiled little brats, they hate anyone that won't let them have whatever they want. 'Hatred' is one of their generic names.
#2. Re “We all know hate when we see it”. Rev. Sen. Warnock.
It is not just the Democrat Party. It is also its’ political components including Warnock. The man is anti-Semitic, anti-white, anti-capitalism.
I would say that he “personifies” “HATE”.
Do you suppose the shooter is out on bail like in NYC ?
If so he might pay warnock a visit, have a beer with him.
When a white kills................. when blacks kill each other, white people and Asians?
The biggest haters are the demonrats.
