"At today’s House Judiciary Committee hearing on discrimination against Asian Americans, one lawmaker managed to shine a spotlight on his own apparent bigotry. Not only that, but he further showcased the Republican Party’s culpability in the anti-Asian hate crimes we’ve seen over the past year.
Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) used his opening remarks to glorify lynchings, criticize the Chinese Communist Party, and deflect from the topic of racist violence to the topic of “free speech.” After saying the victims of anti-Asian hate crimes deserve justice, Roy went on to add that the victims of violence perpetrated by immigrants and the BLM “riots” last summer also deserve justice. Yes, Roy essentially pulled an “All Lives Matter” in a hearing on Asian hate crimes. “There’s an old saying in Texas about find all the rope in Texas and get a tall oak tree,” he added. “You know, we take justice very seriously, and we ought to do that. Round up the bad guys.”

Can't let Paul or Johnson appear as the dumbest Senators ever so Texas has to step up and prove it is just as stupid.

I want to know why the statement all lives matter is offensive to anyone? And where is the proof that white men are commenting these crimes against Asians? The only photos I've seen don't show white commenting these crimes. The Georgia sex addict was a troubled person. They questioned his friends and family and they confirmed only his sex addiction no one said he had racist ideas about Asians. When you hear things from an American hating biased media outlet consider the source. And look at what the opposition source has to say and do some fact-checking on your own. Before you portray any race with a blanket statement because then you're showing your racist strips.

Well when you shoot someone up close in the head and face its not about addiction its about personal hate against the person they are killing.
