Republican lawmakers fired back after the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) state-owned media mocked the wave of violence America experienced over Independence Day weekend.
Xinhua News Service, a Chinese state media outlet, attacked the surge of violence over the Fourth of July weekend in a crass political cartoon of a man firing guns over a grave marked “Death From Firearm” as what appears to be two politicians celebrate the holiday.
“How a gun-happy nation spends its #FourthofJuly weekend,” the state media outlet captioned the picture.
In a Tuesday email to Fox News, House Foreign Affairs Committee ranking member Michael McCaul, R-Texas, eviscerated the post as showing everyone “just how crass and violent the Chinese Communist Party is that they have their propaganda outlets celebrating the deaths of 450 Americans over the July 4th holiday.”
“The CCP is currently committing genocide against ethnic and religious minorities in their country and are brutally cracking down on peaceful protesters in Hong Kong who are simply crying out for freedom,” McCaul said.
“Until they stop murdering and imprisoning their own people, I don’t believe anyone in the world should look to them for moral advice,” he added.
