Chip Roy is not backing down from comments about lynchings made at a hate crimes hearing.

Republican Rep. Chip Roy of Texas refused to back down on comments he made about lynching in a congressional hearing on anti-Asian violence.

Roy made the remarks on Thursday at a hearing about a surge in anti-Asian hate crimes following Tuesday's mass shooting at three spas in Atlanta, Georgia, where 6 Asian women were among the victims.

He said his "concern about this hearing is that it seems to want to venture into the policing of rhetoric in a free society, free speech, and away from the rule of law and taking out bad guys."

Roy went on to criticize Communist China and said the focus should not be on restricting speech but punishing criminals.

Hey Roy, I bet you can't break that wall with your head.

1. Who even refers to China as communist China anymore?

FYI, Roy: Mao is long dead. China practices capitalism now and they drive hard bargains.

So many of these old, white republcans still have a world view of the '50s...race relations, economic relations, the whole deal.

2. He's arguing for vigilante justice.

The Chinese Communist Party didn't buy a gun in the morning, then gun down 8 people, six of whom were Asian women. An angry white man did.

The Chinese Communists didn't invade the Capitol. Angry white people, predominantly men, did.

The Chinese Communists didn't put policies in place that shifted money to the top 1%. The predominantly white, male, GOP did.

If he insists on lynching, then he's a terrorist. Lynching is terrorism.
