Rep. Grace Meng: Trump ‘Scapegoated Chinese Americans for the Spread of Covid-19 and Called the Virus Kung Flu, Shameful’

EXCERPT:

MENG: “Under the current administration, federal agencies are no longer required to provide multilingual support for people with limited English proficiency. That means over 30 percent of our community, our parents, our grandparents, aunts and uncles, could have access -- could lose access to translation services for the programs that they've paid for with their tax dollars. What happens when a senior with limited English proficiency needs help accessing their earned Social Security benefits? Or when a non-native English speaker needs help enrolling in Medicare? This administration doesn't care. But it's not surprising coming from the same president who scapegoated Chinese Americans for the spread of Covid-19 and called the virus Kung Flu. Shameful.”
