Quote:Earlier this week and a month after the Senate overwhelmingly passed it 94-1, the House passed the anti-Asian American hate crimes bill also known as the “COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act” in a 364-62 vote.

The signing ceremony for the bipartisan legislation was held today and on hand were of course President Biden and Vice President Harris among other D.C leaders and dignitaries.

Though Biden gave what some media outlets charitably characterized as an “impassioned” speech imploring Americans to come together to stop hate against Asian-Americans, what others saw during Biden’s remarks was a man that looked like he was in the middle of a personality change as he began yelling and gesturing animatedly with a wild look in his eyes at one point before settling back down again to finish his speech in almost a whisper.

Watch the moment it happened below as he uttered the following comments: “Every time we’re silent, every time we let hate flourish, we make a lie of who we are as a nation.”

While many on social media understandably reacted to Biden’s abrupt change in tone by pointing out the bizarreness of it all (even though the word “bizarre” can, quite frankly, be applied to many of Biden’s public statements), a comment from Newsbusters’ managing editor Curtis Houck stuck out to me as something that also needed to be a part of the bigger conversation surrounding the rise in violent crimes against the Asian-American community:

The elephant in the room here is that the violent crimes against Asian-Americans are not just committed by white supremacists. They’re also committed by black people and to a significant degree, as Asian-American writer Ying Ma noted here in a recent piece:

History, however, presents inconveniences that cannot be ignored. Before the pandemic and before Trump’s presidency, anti-Asian violence had existed in major urban locales. It looked disturbingly like today’s attacks. Instead of crying racism, local leaders of these deep-blue areas used to bend over backward to deny any possibility of a racial motive. National leaders used to pay no attention.

In 2018, when neither ordinary people nor Trump had heard of the coronavirus, blacks committed more hate crimes against Asians more than any other race, according to national hate crime statistics compiled by the Justice Department. Figures for 2020 are not yet available.

When Joe Biden talks about how “every time we’re silent we’re allowing hate to flourish,” he’s right to a certain extent. The problem, however, is the fact that the only time Democrats want to talk about hate crimes and yada yada about how they are committed to making fighting them a priority is when they think they can be used to lump in decent white people like you and me with the small minority of white racists who commit violence against minorities. That way they can turn the problem into a political wedge issue and make minority communities feel further victimized and in need of “protection” from the Democratic party.

If Democrats were truly committed to eradicating hate in America, they’d stop ignoring the elephant in the room and begin engaging in some tough talk about why it might be that so many violent crimes against Asians in this country are committed by African-Americans (mostly males). But don’t look for any straight talk along those lines to happen any time soon, because as Democrats have shown us time and time again, winning elections by dividing Americans and virtue signaling about how they’re against hate of any kind is more important than actually coming together to solve problems.

It’s an inconvenient truth they don’t want to hear, but as the Ben Shapiro saying goes, facts don’t care about your feelings.

And here is how they acted after his speech.

Quote:I don’t know about you, but this looks like House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and the Democrats just did in the mask mandates with their display today.

Keeping in mind that she’s still enforcing masks on the House floor and in committee rooms. She also just reiterated the mask rules, insulting her fellow members in the process and treating them like children.

She even suggested that she might not allow people onto the floor to vote, if they were not wearing a mask or were not vaccinated.

But meanwhile, here she is today, floating through a packed, mask-free crowd at the White House. What is this, the honor system? Super-spreader event!

Now, the response from some has been that they are likely vaccinated, if they are at the White House. First, how do we know that, as Democrats are fond of saying? Apparently Pelosi’s cool with the “honor system” at the White House. But second, it doesn’t matter. Because if you are vaccinated, you are supposed to be protected, right? Pelosi shows she understands that and believes that here — when she’s at the White House.

But, she doesn’t accept it when it comes to the House of Congress that she has control over. She claims some people might be unvaccinated, so everyone must still wear them, despite the fact she is protected — even against unvaccinated people. That’s literally the point of being vaccinated; otherwise, if you don’t think that, why are you getting vaccinated?

We know she thinks that because of her actions at the White House. But, she doesn’t want to release that control, and the masks, before the cameras.

The GOP Doctors Caucus in the House called Pelosi out on it, saying she’s not following the science.

Now, people are blasting her after the video emerged of her at the White House.

Former White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany reminded Pelosi of being busted over her trip to a San Francisco hair salon, when salons were supposed to be closed and how she wasn’t wearing a mask.

Sounds like after this, that the members who are already revolting in the House are going to push back even more, given her hypocrisy.

Classic dementia

Pelosi's comments in that video about "would you want someone not wearing a mask in your face, etc"... What in the **** does it matter at this point? You've either been vaccinated (so the person in your face can't give you anything even if they have it), or you haven't been vaccinated because you chose not to be (in this case just STFU and leave me alone, I am willing to take the risk of catching it and maybe getting a little sick for a couple of days, or catch it and be asymptomatic, or maybe have already had it and are immune).

In any case masks are nothing but theater and a way for politicians to continue to hold on to control for as long as possible.
