Democratic lawmakers are using a mass shooting in Georgia to hit former President Donald Trump’s rhetoric concerning COVID-19 and making claims not supported by law enforcement statements.
Democrats in Washington have blamed the mass shooting in Atlanta, which left eight dead, on anti-Asian American sentiment allegedly drummed up by Trump and others referring to COVID-19 as the “China Virus” or the “Wuhan Virus.” COVID-19 originated in Wuhan, China, sometime in 2019 and spread globally largely due to Beijing’s efforts to hide key information about the illness.
