@VaceTemper @Jim_Jordan You are wrong. I never voted to defund the police. In fact the American Rescue Plan funds the police. I voted yes. All Republican legislators voted no. Those are the facts. — PolitiTweet.org

Dear @Jim_Jordan: When you call 911 for help, that’s the government. When firefighters put out fires, that’s the government. When National Guard troops provide disaster relief, that’s the government. Also, do you not help your constituents? Because you’re part of the government. — PolitiTweet.org

@TrollColors @FBI Shooting Asians at one Asian business, then driving 27 miles to a second and third Asian business and shooting more Asians seems to be a hate crime narrative. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

If the below Facebook post is accurate, and based on today’s press conference, I would not have confidence in the Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office to conduct a fair investigation that respected the Asian victims. I urge the @FBI to conduct its own independent investigation. — PolitiTweet.org

Did the Sheriff’s office interview the below witness before they did their press conference today explaining the shooter was having a bad day? #StopAsianHate — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

All of us have experienced bad days. But we don’t go to three Asian businesses and shoot up Asian employees. #StopAsianHate — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

The murderer targeted Young’s ASIAN Massage Parlor. He then drove 27 miles to another ASIAN spa. Here’s a review of Gold’s Spa: “Good atmosphere with Korean girls giving proper massage.” If the murderer’s temptations are Asian women and he kills them, that’s racially motivated. https://t.co/t6P7NcP28s — PolitiTweet.org

Did the murderer in the Atlanta area shoot employees at strip clubs to relieve his alleged temptations? Or adult video stores? Or adult movie theaters? NO. He specifically went to three locations that disproportionately had Asian women employees. #StopAsianHate — PolitiTweet.org

@MFlombone No, I just want to know the facts. Also FYI below. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

Having one possible motive does not negate other motives. Suppose a murderer has a food addiction and only shoots employees at Korean restaurants. That would arguably be racially motivated. #StopAsianHate — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

One year ago, we had a former President and White House officials inflaming hate against Asian Americans. Some elected officials continue to use ethnic identifiers in describing the virus, which adds fuel to the hate. If you are one of those officials, please stop. #StopAsianHate — PolitiTweet.org

Chosun Ilbo is a leading daily newspaper in South Korea. If the below article is correct, the mass shooting of six Asian women in the Atlanta area was a targeted hate crime. #StopAsianHate — PolitiTweet.org

This Thursday, the @HouseJudiciary SubCommittee on Constitution, Civil Rights and Civil Liberties will hold a hearing on “Discrimination and Violence Against Asian Americans” at 10 am est. You can watch the hearing at the link below. #StopAsianHate — PolitiTweet.org

@StephenSeanFord Thank you — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

@WineAndCheezit We don’t know yet if this was a hate crime but we do know six of the eight murder victims are Asian women. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

@Silver_Hornet We do not yet know yet if this was a hate crime, but we do know the victims are disproportionately Asian. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

The former President used racist phrases like Kung Flu that inflamed discrimination against the Asian American community. Officials that continue to use ethnic identifiers in describing the virus are part of the problem. Please instead be a part of the solution. #StopAsianHate — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

According to this report, 6 of the 8 murder victims in the Atlanta area mass shooting are Asian women. Was this a hate crime? We need more evidence. But we do know the alleged murderer targeted three locations where the victims would disproportionately be Asian women. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

My heart goes out to the families of the victims of another mass shooting. Many of the victims are Asian. These murders occurred at a time when anti-Asian violence has been spiking. All officials should do their part to condemn violence and not inflame further discrimination. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

The former President inflamed discrimination against Asian Americans by using racist phrases like Kung Flu. I urge any officials who continue to use ethnic identifiers to describe the virus to please stop doing so. You are adding fuel to the fire of hate. #IAmNotAVirus — PolitiTweet.org
