Rep. Meng To Republican Lawmaker: ‘We Will Not Let You Take Our Voice Away From Us’ | NBC News NOW
0:30 "find all the rope in texas and get a tall tree" that's horrifying. it's remind me of the public lynching of black people 19th century! Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, is evil!
i mean how he wears his face mask says a lot about his iq already
Trigger word
He didn't invoke it he was referencing back when America did capital punishments
I read some of the comments and all I can say is, "go back to school and learn something about "comprehension" so you will understand the difference between the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) and Chinese people! As to the ranting, deranged Asian-American (at least that's what she claims) woman in the video, she's obviously another liberal lunatic that doesn't live in reality. #RepChipRoy is a #Hero! #MakeDemsCryAgain
Wow, he really felt the need to end his statement in a meeting about anti-Asian violence by saying that China is "the bad guy" wtf
What a powerful punch by Rep. Meng to the nonsense-speaking Roy!!!
People like Roy are the source of hate crimes leader. His speech leads me to think these people are more dangerous than killers. We need a law to prohibit politicians freedom of speech for certain words. People with hate would react violently or follow his lead. Punishment should be given to those people like Roy!!! Freedom should be removed from any people committed hate crimes!!!
This man is so sad until he's not even worth taking serious, his words disgust me to the fullest and thats saying a lot because i think the last 4 years have bern filled with this kind of blatant hate!
Police do have free speech but when they put out false informations to the public that's a problem
He thinks a hearing about anti-Asian-American violence censors his freedom to condemn CCP.
That’s one way to admit that you associate all Asian-Americans with the CCP.
You should be exiled from congress
Yep trump was almost right for once.
When he said drain the swamp he didn't mean the Republican swamp.
Everything is bigger in Texas. Even bigotry.
Wear that bloody mask properly, udiot.
Mr. Roy you are an evil thing cloaking yourself in human skin and walking among us human beings.
😥😥😥
I knew there was an agenda behind the fake news media push
Mrs Meng didn't cry this much when blacks were getting killed. I guess it hits home when the victims looks like you !
Taking a knee during the national anthem is free speech .But his greatness number 45 said censer him
Lynching well we know he's not refering to the "Model Minorities."
Um, that mask 😷 though ….
Does Rep. Ming condone the violence used by the Chinese government in putting down the protest in Taiwan ot Tiananmen square?
Why a minority hated a minority? I couldn't understand why some black people hated Asian? Asian organized and join black lives matter protest and now they feel betrayed.😟
Why is it that the same people who think that wearing a mask is such an infringement have no problem wearing a hood?
Cover your nose.
Chip was "having a bad day", he was late for his Klan meeting. That staffers eyeballs almost popped out! They were talking about murdered minority women until this POS tried to spin it into a freedom of speech debate.
Roy…has cited his religious faith as informing his political positions….that's crap…he hasn't a ounce of empathy……what is wrong with these Texas politicians?
Sooooo… Thousands of 'God fearing' Americans thought it was appropriate to vote that POS into office.
So many Republican mouth breathers.
His name translates to 'dung'. In English.
