Biden White House blames anti-Asian violence spike on rhetoric from 'certain political leaders'

He is hopeless. He's totally clueless and he says what his handlers tell him to, when he remembers.

He made similar statements regarding Chinese and Covid. He’s a blithering idiot.

Yeah you do not need Joe Bidens limited intellect to know that the anti-Asian violence is comming from the pandemic. It really does not matter what PC speech that Trump used at the time, we still would have had a spike. Though using terms such as "Kung Flu" did not help things in that department. I see nothing wrong with labeling the virus as having started in China nor do I see anything wrong with investigating and announcing publicly if it originated in a research lab (my view is that it did). Be honest with the American people is the first priority here, the down stream impacts of being honest can be dealt with later. We need to clearly hold China accountable here to pressure them to ensure this does not happen again.
