Texas GOP candidate bashes Chinese immigrants over coronavirus: 'I don't want them here at all'
[link:https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2021/04/02/coronavirus-covid-live-updates-us/|
At a political forum on Wednesday, GOP congressional candidate Sery Kim falsely suggested that Chinese immigrants bring the coronavirus to the United States and suggested that she opposes their entry to the country.
I dont want them here at all, Kim, who is Korean American, told attendees, speaking of Chinese immigrants and China in general, the Dallas Morning News reported. They steal our intellectual property, they give us coronavirus, they dont hold themselves accountable.
Kim, 42, also argued that a rising surge in violence and threats against Asian Americans has been trumped up by the media, saying that Asians have always faced violence. Its not worse than before.

...Or voting blacks , homosexuals or outspoken women demanding equality and control of their own body.
The best solution is for him to leave because life in his eyes is getting worse really quick.
