Senate Democrats call for federal action on anti-Asian coronavirus racism

“For communities that are affected, it makes the difference in knowing that there are members of the U.S. Senate that are willing to fight for not just their interest, but their right to exist without harassment,” he said.

The lawmakers’ document points to language like “Chinese Virus” and “Wuhan Virus, used by President Donald Trump and other Republican officials, as a contributing factor to the stigmatization of the Asian American community. Public health officials, including the World Health Organization, have warned against using such terms, calling them inaccurate and potentially incendiary.

Let’s just follow the general rule that Trump supporters are assholes and it covers it

But Omar AOC Rashid can say things They are leaders A common citizen has a right to be ignorant They are paid not to be Big Difference 4 congresswoman need to go

No there isn't. You are STUPID. NBC and these fools promote ignorance. Report the facts. Communist China spawned this disease. They hid it. They crippled the world. Communist China started this no one else caused this nightmare.

I'm not anti-Asian, I'm anti maziehirono.

Those are three scary people

Gee, look at who's pushing that. (Nothing But Crap) is trying to outdo FNCNN for Grand Poobah of BullSchiff.

Coming from an anti-American group I can understand. How do you feel knowing you voted in these hypocrites and traitors in office to betray the American people and waste our tax money on BS

BTW - has anyone seen Joe Biden?

What about the 'Old White man' sentiment that's been boiling for years?

They are all Americans. I don't what the F they're complaining about.

Oh God. Shut up

Do you think calling it a Chinese virus is racist?

No way. I have no doubt that many Chinese knew they were sick or exposed 2 Corona when they flew out of China in Dec or Jan.--Infecting as they went. They R either stupid or disgusting Ppl.

Is Sen. Warren now claiming Asian ethnicity?

so you did it?

Opportunists.

News Media is fully responsible for FEARMONGERING plus not accurate reporting creating ANTIFA type haters. Cover the WH Taskforce press briefing to show the true information without biased commentary. The truth will set you free. It’s on RIGHT NOW, tune in. CNNPolitics MSNBC

They want 'federal action' on an issue that barely exists. If we can pit men against women, black against white, rich against poor, Asian against American maybe we can scare enough people into voting for us in November. Transparent.

Maybe the federal government could organize some sort of camps that Chinese Americans can be interned in....”for their safety”

All racism all the time.

Next it will be “French” fries, or “Italian” dressing on the chop block. But they sure had no problem calling it “Russian” interference in the election instead of “foreign.” Smh

70+% of these so-called incidents are 'verbal harassment'. People say mean things to each other all the time. Grow up

Good

They are americans

What about all the other racism? This action in and of itself is racist!

Define racism. Speaking the truth about where this virus came from? I really want to know because I would never want to be considered racist. I love all people and pray for all the world affected by China Wuhan wildlifeseafoodmarket wetmarket

IDIOTS....

Lmbo loser's

But I will say that Asians need to stop harassing Black Americans. Filipinos in the workplace Koreans in stores Then maybe we'll stand behind you when things happened to you.

.... in the meantime, 10M Americans are unemployed. These mother fuckers live on a different planet then the rest of us.

Could they try and be more relevant to the current situation?

The Truth Hurts..

When you change the 10s of Millions of books that callout the Spanish flu first we can discuss the Wuhan Virus ok?

Because that is our biggest problem.

Dont worry their lack of ability to provide healthcare or financial assistance to the citizens during a pandemic should weed out enough people that this problem may be solved organically.

It shall be henceforth known as the Holocough.

Yea but it’s their fault
