For far too long now we have been dealing with Democrats and members of the media tossing praise at the communist leadership of China. Sure they have unleashed a global scourge, lied about its initial existence, delayed notifying other nations, and distributed flawed products to healthcare workers battling the outbreak — but they are doing great work!
The fact that people are pointing out this level of support seems to be starting to affect the good Senator from Hawaii, Brian Schatz. He had a stern comment to make regarding this issue — problem is, it was not a smart comment.
Democrats are not going to accidentally defend the Chinese government just because some republican consultants want us to.

This sounds like he is responding to the Rose Garden presser yesterday where the President was heard taking a firmer position of being critical of China when baited by CBS reporter, but he did not think things through. So, you say you will not support China accidentally, Senator?
“Accidentally” is the key here.they are defending the Chinese government. If it’s not accidental, what’s the conclusion.

Oh I agree about the "Not an accident" part.

It's never accidental. Democrats are very intentional in their support of tyranny.

Then stop doing it. ?

No one thought Democrats were doing it accidentally.

Can I ask Senator Schatz what Republican consultants are advising Democrats to defend the Chinese Government? @SenateGOP @HouseGOP @VP @senatemajldr pic.twitter.com/1am9WQoPJ1

You most certainly can ask! Just…do not expect to get anything approximating an answer from the man.
The US Government’s job is to protect Americans, regardless of the intentions or actions of other countries.

Well now this is just unfair, telling a politician what it is his job description entails.
There's a fine line between holding the Chinese government responsible and being aggressive to the Chinese. I'm not sure Democrats are smart enough to tell the difference though.

Well we are sure — that they are not.
