“The Squad” member Rep. Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass.<\/a>, said Thursday she was one of the few House members who voted against a select committee to examine U.S. competition with China for fear it would embolden racists.<\/p>\n

Pressley told CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins that she voted against its formation in order to fight back “anti-Asian rhetoric and hate” she claims could be inspired by such a committee.<\/p>\n

The congresswoman was one of only 65 members of the House of Representatives who voted against the China committee on Tuesday. Support for it was largely bipartisan, with 365 members voting “Yes,” including all Republican congressmen and over two-thirds of House Democrats.<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital reported the new select committee<\/a> was proposed “to examine U.S. strategic competition with China.” Remarking on the need for the committee, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., stated Tuesday, “We spent decades passing policies that welcomed China into the global system. In return, China has exported oppression, aggression and anti-Americanism. Today, the power of its military and economy are growing at the expense of freedom and democracy worldwide.”<\/p>\n

But Pressley was against it for fear of racism.<\/p>\n

“I voted no because, again, it\u2019s another sham effort here, it\u2019s really clear that this is just a committee that would further embolden anti-Asian rhetoric and hate and put lives at risk,” Pressley said.<\/p>\n

The member of the far-left “Squad” added the U.S. government has “enough infrastructure in governance to tackle those issues and we don\u2019t need the select committee. And that is why I voted no, because I am afraid that it will embolden anti-Asian rhetoric and hate.”<\/p>\n

When asked if the “146 Democrats who voted yes on it are wrong in their votes,” she replied, “We just see it differently.”<\/p>\n

Other Democratic lawmakers voiced their concern about the committee inspiring anti-Asian rhetoric. Top Democrat on the House Rules Committee, Rep. Jim McGovern,<\/a> D-Mass., warned the committee to be careful to avoid such discrimination.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“President [Donald] Trump repeatedly mislabeled COVID with racist language. Such rhetoric coincided with spikes in hate-based acts of violence and discrimination against people of Chinese or Asian origin across our country. This language has no place on this committee or anywhere in Congress,” he said.<\/p>\n

Unlike Pressley, McGovern ultimately voted “Yes” on the formation of the committee despite his concerns. He announced, “While I do have concerns here, after reading the resolution itself, I will be voting \u2018yes.\u2019 The Democratic Party has led the way in implementing efforts to monitor China\u2019s compliance with international human rights and rule of law standards, and we will continue to do so here.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
