in wake of deadly shooting!!!

Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris traveled to Atlanta on Friday to meet with Asian American leaders in the wake of the deadly shooting.They had originally planned to travel to Atlanta to tout the benefits of the $1.9 trillion Covid-19 economic relief package that Biden recently signed into law, but the White House scrapped plans for a rally after the shooting.

"The conversation we had today with the (Asian American and Pacific Islander) leaders, and that we're hearing all across the country, is that hate and violence often hide in plain sight. It's often met with silence," Biden said. "That's been true throughout our history, but that has to change because our silence is complicity."

During a meeting with leaders of the Asian American Pacific Islander -- sometimes shortened to AAPI -- community, Biden echoed Harris in condemning the rhetoric from powerful political leaders, according to one attendee.

Stephanie Cho, the executive director for Asian Americans Advancing Justice, said former President Donald rump's name came up repeatedly during Biden's hour long meeting with the group especially the topic of rump's statements came up repeatedly.....

Biden assured them that " it's his position and his administration to completely roll back all of that damage done by the rump!!
