Senate passes anti-Asian hate crimes bill
By Jordain Carney - 04/22/21 02:16 PM EDT

The Senate on Thursday passed legislation aimed at combating a rise in hate crimes against Asian Americans during the coronavirus pandemic in a 94-1 vote, with GOP Sen. Josh Hawley (Mo.) the only "no" vote.

The bill now goes to the House, where Democrats are expected to soon take up their version of the legislation.

Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) said that it was “time to stand up” on anti-Asian hate crimes.

A California State University, San Bernardino study that looked at 16 cities found a 149 percent increase in hate crimes targeting Asian Americans in 2020.

“By passing this bill we say to the Asian American community that the government is paying attention to them, has heard their concerns and will respond to protect them,” Schumer said.

“And second, by passing this bill we’ll send a message to the country that should be all too obvious by now: Hate crimes will not be tolerated,” he added.

Thursday’s vote followed days of behind-the-scenes negotiations to try to lock in support for the legislation, which needed at least 60 votes to pass.

The bill, spearheaded by Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii), requires the Justice Department to designate an official to review coronavirus-related hate crimes and beefs up state and local resources.

This bill will mostly effect Blacks as they are the majority of people who attack Asians.  Whites are pretty chill with your Asians.  Hope they are ready for the unintended consequences of what they are legislating.

I'm also noting they voted for it anyway.  888mouth

The change this country really needs is enforcing existing laws, regardless of the skin color of the guilty perp! That. Is. Not. Being. Done!

If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

No it is not.   The race card continues to be played.

Who will bet there is something in this bill criminalizing the term ‘China virus’?

I agree completely.
Just like with all so called 'hate crime laws' they only apply to White people.

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.

Well, for once a bill that actually delivers on its name.

An "anti-Asian" bill that will preserve and codify "anti-Asian" discrimination in college admissions...!
