Joe Biden criticized President Trump in a statement condemning the rising violence directed at the Asian American community related to COVID-19. - NBCAsianAmerica
In his statement, Biden brought up several recent instances of violence toward Asian Americans. One woman, Yuanyuan Zhu, was spit on last month on her way to the gym as the perpetrator shouted a China-related expletive at her. In a separate incident, an Asian woman was doused with a substance outside her home in Brooklyn, New York, resulting in chemical burns to her face and body.
"These disgusting and racist acts must stop. They are grounded in an impulse that is as ugly as it is dangerously ignorant," Biden said.Biden accused Trump of using rhetoric like"Chinese virus" to deflect from his mishandling of the virus and to"stoke feelings of hatred and anger" toward the Asian American and Pacific Islander community. While Trump used the term several times during White House news conferences, he abruptly shifted his tone in late March.
Although he told Fox News that he doesn't regret having used the terminology, he said he had"decided we shouldn't make any more of a big deal out of it." Regardless, other members of the administration, including Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, continued to use language that identified the virus in terms of location or ethnicity.
