Mike Huckabee says he's going to identify as 'Chinese' in a tweet as anti-Asian hate crimes rise

Fox News contributor and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee said he would start identifying as "Chinese" in a tweet against pushback to Georgia's new voting bill.

"I've decided to "identify" as Chinese. Coke will like me, Delta will agree with my "values" and I'll probably get shoes from Nike & tickets to @MLB games. Ain't America great?" Huckabee said.

Huckabee appears to be criticizing companies that have come out against the bill known as SB 202, or the Election Integrity Act of 2021, which makes sweeping changes to almost every part of the state's voting and election system.

Civil rights groups have denounced the law and said it suppress Black voters.
