Sen. Duckworth Speaks About Violence Against Asian Communities
Illinois U.S. Sen. Tammy Duckworth said the Asian community in the United States has been the target of racist vitriol.
ILLINOIS (CBS) — A judiciary committee heard testimony Thursday on the violence and hate speech that has recently increased against the Asian community. Illinois U.S. Sen. Tammy Duckworth, a Democrat, said the Asian community in the United States has been the target of racist vitriol and the Asian American community is justifiably outraged.
“Families have had rocks thrown at them. Nurses have been spit on. Heroes, front line workers, hospital staff have been blamed for COVID-19,” Duckworth said.
