Because they are being vilified only because a virus took root in a foreign land.<\/p>\n<p>President Biden has condemned the hate crime wave. However, the hate crime perps aren&#8217;t listening to the <em>current<\/em> president; they cling to the rhetoric from the man he defeated in 2020. The MAGA mob needs to hear this condemnation from Donald Trump. Tragically, Trump doesn&#8217;t appear wired to say what he must to those who are attacking elderly people, inflicting physical harm or bullying individuals over social media.<\/p>\n<p>This terrible spike in hate crimes against Asian-Americans is no way to &#8220;make America great again.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"twitter-share\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?via=jkanelis\" class=\"twitter-share-button\">Tweet<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By JOHN KANELIS \/ johnkanelis_92@hotmail.com What the hell is happening to this country?
