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.

What are the assailants doing that isn't already illegal?
What would change if it was really, really illegal?
So why not make it really, really, really illegal?

Is it only to protect Asians, which leaves beating up Whites only regular illegal?

You may be on to something there. I could see it providing a basis for the social media corps to clamp down on conservative criticism of China or Biden’s China policies.

Isn’t assault already illegal?

How about they just enforce the laws on the books without regard to race and see what happens? Treat everyone the same and let the chips fall where they may.

When they get a gun. And a shovel.
