The 164 Republicans who couldn’t bring themselves to say anti Asian-American racism is wrong

On September 17th, Congress passed a measure that demands the condemnation of all forms of racism and scapegoating and calls on public officials to denounce any anti-Asian sentiment, which has become a problem with COVID-19.

It passed in a 243-164 vote, with all 164 “nay” votes coming from…well, guess which party:

The resolution did not reference Trump by name or the presidency, yet it passed on a largely party-line vote — with 164 Republicans voting against it.

Some responses from the Asian-American community:

Credit where credit is due

First, I’m going to say “thanks” to the 14 Republicans who broke ranks and voted “yea” on the measure:

REPRESENTATIVE PARTY STATE VOTE
Brooks (IN) Republican YEA
Fitzpatrick Republican YEA
Gonzalez (OH) Republican YEA
Herrera Beutler Republican YEA

Katko Republican YEA
McCaul Republican YEA
Smith (NJ) Republican YEA
Stivers Republican YEA
Upton Republican YEA
Wagner Republican YEA
Walden Republican YEA
Webster (FL) Republican YEA
Woodall Republican YEA

…and hey, there’s a Florida representative in there, and he’s from the district just north of mine!

Censure where censure is due

And now, the racist a-holes who couldn’t even bring themselves to make a symbolic gesture condemning anti-Asian discrimination.

If you can, please vote them out.
