Chip Roy’s outrageous and offensive comments represent the myopic inability of Republicans to step up and confront the racial hatred/violence targeting Asian Americans right now. Waiting for Republican leaders to condemn this hatred/violence is like waiting for Godot. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

My heart breaks for the 8 people—including 6 women of Asian descent—who were murdered in Atlanta last night. This senseless act adds to the pain and suffering of the Asian community during a year of increased racism and attacks targeting AAPIs. Speak up and help #StopAsianHate — PolitiTweet.org

Deb Haaland's historic confirmation is a significant step forward for Native representation in our government. While a family emergency kept me from voting on her confirmation today, I remain confident that Secretary Haaland will lead with integrity and purpose. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

We need leadership at the top like President Biden calling these hate crimes out and putting together a process where these crimes can be reported. Like Joe said, it's wrong, it's un-American, and must stop. What a contrast from our previous president. #StopAsianHate https://t.co/ZUva0GtfNI — PolitiTweet.org

Republicans are pursuing “the most sweeping contraction of ballot access in the US since the end of Reconstruction.” Over 250 voter suppression laws intro'd just this year. The House passed HR 1 last week. It's time for the Senate to deliver #ForThePeople.https://t.co/ZX2YKdQVIh — PolitiTweet.org

It matters when our president condemns hatred and violence against Asian Americans. Thank you President Biden for your strong words and moral leadership. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

You see the smile on my face? It's because President Biden signed the American Rescue Plan into law today—and millions of Americans will benefit. Not a single Republican voted for the ARP. Apparently, they don't think their constituents deserve the help. Hold them accountable. https://t.co/7zzS8QmkPj — PolitiTweet.org

Anti-Asian hate crimes increased by 150% in 2020. 150%! @RepGraceMeng and I are introducing the COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act helping DOJ and communities come together to fight intolerance. We must all condemn this racism and raise awareness. Stand up to hate, #StopAsianHate. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

One year ago, the world as we knew it changed forever when the WHO declared coronavirus a pandemic. Over 29M cases, more than 500,000 lives lost to the virus. Today, we remember those lost and stand with those who continue to cope with unimaginable loss. Better days are ahead. — PolitiTweet.org

As the Attorney General of the United States, Merrick Garland will be the people's lawyer not the President's. He's the leader we need to restore not only the independence and integrity of the DOJ, but the public's confidence in the department. I'll be voting to #ConfirmGarland. — PolitiTweet.org

We're learning more every day on the surge of hate crimes towards the AAPI community. With experts like Lisa Monaco and Vanita Gupta, DOJ will work with community orgs who are often the first go-to for victims and improve data collection to see the full picture. #StopAsianHate https://t.co/uM8O90VtHT — PolitiTweet.org

3 months into 2021, we've finally reached #AAPIEqualPay. This year the disparity is starker than ever: more than 1 in 4 AAPI women are front-line workers risking their lives, facing discrimination and racism—all while being paid less than their male counterparts. https://t.co/FNyIbiTLfw — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

As I listened to some of the questions from my colleagues on the Judiciary Committee today, I want to note we’ve been subjected to quite a lot of mansplaining in regards to Vanita Gupta’s position on race, religion, and more. I commend you @VanitaGuptaCR on your calm responses. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

Our country needs to hold Senate Republicans accountable. Republicans must answer their constituents on why they didn't lift a finger to get checks into people's hands, extend unemployment benefits, and help their states get out of this economic crisis. — PolitiTweet.org
