Maneater | EDITORIAL: Hawley's vote against anti-Asian hate crime bill exemplifies his indifference toward Asian American lives

On Thursday, Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley was the lone vote against S.937, a bill that assigns a Justice Department official to analyze reports of hate crimes that are related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Hawley’s vote against this bill signifies he feels indifferent toward Asian American lives and prioritizes political gain over the wellbeing of his constituents.
The bill was first proposed on March 11, 2021 by Hawaii Sen. Mazie Hirono to address the 150% surge in anti-Asian hate crimes from 2019 to 2020.
However, the bill’s significance increased as time progressed. On March 16, eight people were killed in Atlanta; six of them were Asian American. As of the same day, 3,795 hate crimes had been reported within the past year.
