"Hate can be given no safe harbor in America" he told lawmakers, emphasizing that "words have consequences" and "silence is complicity."

#Biden #Congress #CovidHateCrimesAct
YES!!!!!
YES!!!!
Beautifully moving, boldly said! High time, too.
BRAVO JOE!!
What’s sad about this is that this law should have been a unanimous vote, but it wasn’t.
Regardless of that, I’m glad it has been signed into law.
ell lets hope the Jail those people. Which by the way is 85% BLACKS. Sure somehow it’ll end up being RACIST to jail a black.
Because it’s racist and I guess some congressmen don’t like racism.
Scotty you read that 💩 😂🚮😂
Maybe you should read the bill instead of just condemning those who have and don’t agree with it.
All it does is bribe state and federal agencies to report more “anti Asian hate crimes”. All it is about is fudging the numbers because “white supremacy” is not the biggest factor in violent crimes against Asians. Ill give you one guess which community is the worst offender.
We already hate hate crime laws. They wasted time passing a bill that is already law.
✝️
Wonderful!!
Congratulations! They deserve laws on the books to protect them from violent hate crimes. Violence against any human being is violence against us all. Suffering is suffering, and it can’t be minimized because it’s not happening the same way for you. We can only hope to see the George Floyd policing reform legislation and the John Lewis voting rights law passed soon. United we stand divided we shall fall.
we’ve always seemed to be falling throughout our history.
thank you, uncle Joe!
This is the result of traitor trump’s racist rhetoric.
Cheating Joe Sucks!
@N 827 LOL have you noticed how your side keeps losing EVERY SINGLE DAY..? It must be really hard to be a Trump troll these days.
They need more harsher punishment on repeat offenders in every state!
repeat offending cops!
“Corona virus prank in America – laugh aloud”.. Was the first COVID video I saw. And it was made by an Asian. Is he guilty?
@zencat999 Yeah, that too…especially.
Why Democrats will just let them right back out of jail. SMH you people aren’t very bright.
Words have consequences, silence is complicity. Hate…. The GOP’s prescription.
You stand behind Hamas and hate half the country who voted against the pasty white deity. Just saying.
@Google User Your a troll. And a tool.
@Jason Dantzler Sure thing orange donkey.. Go help 46 build that pipeline in Russia.
@Google User You sure have a lot of time on your hands, Howard.
There should a minimum of 10 YEARS in jail for these HATE CRIMES!
Hate is NOT welcome here!!!
Since 99% of the anti-Asian crime is by you know who then surely by the lunatic left’s own definition this new law is “systemic racism”?
wait till you find out who commits these anti asian hate crimes ( african americans)
I really like this new guy. He’s got a good heart.
@Fred A You voted for a guy who made sure grown man could use the bathroom with little girls. Oh someone needs praying for and it’s you sicko.
Yup, he’s a good ‘ol racist Demokkkrat. Apparently some races need more laws than others. Wait until you see who goes to jail for attacking Asians (clue, they’re not white, Asian or Latino!)
A good heart? He supports institutionalized racism of Lori Lightfoot. He passes racist policies such has farm stimulus package based on skin color. He allows Loyd Austin to spread his own personal bigotry throughout the military.
Nothing good about this clown.
He is totally disconnected from his heart.A NWo puppet.
You like creepy old men pressing themselves against young girls while smelling their hair? The same goofy who said, “Poor kids are just as bright as whyyyt kids” I think you need corrective lens or I just don’t know what a good heart is anymore.
Thank you. It’s about time.
I know, like, I can’t even imagine Trump making a statement like this…. These messages are long overdue
It’s weird to listen to a man who speaks coherently with a message of compassion, and not an orange painted lump giving a deliberately belligerent and aggressive screed against all things civil.
It’s going to take a while to adjust.
Will this apply to the south? Federal antidiscrimination laws are almost never enforced there.
Only problem is. Some peoples. Crimes won’t be categorized as hate crimes. Regardless of how much Evidence presented. 🤔
Who is this guy? He’s so sleepy! And he’s nice!
The first time I heard a republican use the word woke was in reference to this bill. They called it too woke.
🎯💯👏👏👏💖💖💖❣⚖
President Joe Biden hats off to you..Theodore Roosevelt wrote ” The Man In the Arena” You are that man to many people..
