Congressman Thomas Massie. Moral pygmy.
It calls for "targeted sanctions" on members of the Chinese government - and names the Communist Party secretary in the Xinjiang autonomous region, Chen Quanguo.
The Uighur Human Rights Policy Act 2019 bill was passed by 407 to 1 in the House of Representatives on Tuesday night.
Its passing comes days after Mr Trump signed into law a bill that supports pro-democracy protesters in Hong Kong - also leading to condemnation from China.
The purpose of the bill is "to address gross violations of universally recognised human rights, including the mass internment of over 1,000,000 Uighurs".
It also accuses China of "systematically discriminating" against Uighurs by "denying them a range of civil and political rights, including the freedoms of expression, religion, movement and a fair trial".
Considering the Chinese treatment of the Uighurs, what pinhead could possibly vote against that resolution? This pinhead.
REPUBLICAN Thomas Massie, from Kentucky, voted against the Uighur bill. He also voted against the Hong Kong bill.
In a series of tweets, Massie ineptly tried to explain his monstrous vote.
This was the purpose of tonight’s bill: to sooth the consumer’s conscience, so that everyone can buy Chinese goods with no fear of the moral encumbrances broadcast on the news. Also possibly the reason a few are outraged over a single NAY vote - it diluted that salve?
No, that's not it. It's just that most moral people REALLY don't like concentration camps filled with people of a particular religion (gee, that's never happened before) and genocide and have no patience whatsoever with people who aren't bothered by those things.
Reasonable people can come to different conclusions on this vote
No, Tommy, they can't. Because if genocide is a matter of indifference to you, your sense of right and wrong is dead. I'd get a handle on your Libertarian Derangement Syndrome if I were you. We're not talking about a farm bill here, candyass.
but, Before expressing righteous indignation re: my vote against these sanctions, please consider whether you committed enough to the issue that you would personally go a week without buying something made in China
Not a problem. You? What do the Red Chinese have on you anyway?
I voted no tonight on the UIGHUR Act (sanctions against China) for the same reason I voted no in the Hong Kong bill two weeks ago: When our government meddles in the internal affairs of foreign countries, it invites those governments to meddle in our affairs.
Got news for you, Tommy. Red China's doing that right now. And since they are, my choices apparently are staying silent or condemning Chinese savagery and taking my chances about Chinese "meddling" in American affairs.
Which is happening right now.
Guess which way I'm going, moron.
For God's sake, Kentucky GOP, primary this turd and get him out of my sight.
The US House of Representatives has passed a bill to counter what it calls the "arbitrary detention, torture, and harassment" of Uighur Muslims in China.
It calls for "targeted sanctions" on members of the Chinese government - and names the Communist Party secretary in the Xinjiang autonomous region, Chen Quanguo.

Communist Chinese and Russians don't interfere in our internal affairs because we've passed bills condemning them, silly Congressman. They've been trying to mess with us and to destroy us during the entire course of my seventy-year life.
