There's a long history of racism between Blacks and Koreans, by both sides. That doesn't excuse your shameful defense of terrorists trying to overthrow the government.

BREAKING: THE HEAD OF NAM OF 14,000 U.S. COMPANIES ASKS VP PENCE TO INVOKE 25TH AMENDMENT TO REMOVE tRUMP FROM OFFICE cnbc.com U.S. trade group asks VP Pence to ‘seriously consider’ invoking 25th Amendment to remove Trump PUBLISHED WED, JAN 6 20215:06 PM ESTUPDATED WED, JAN 6 20215:08 PM EST Jordan Novet @JORDANNOVET KEY POINTS A sharply worded statement from the head of the National Association of Manufacturers shows opposition to clashes that interrupted proceedings to accept Joe Biden as the next U.S. president.The head of the group, Jay Timmons, was once executive director of the National Republican Senatorial Committee. WASHINGTON D.C., USA - JANUARY 6: Security forces block the entrance after the US President Donald Trumps supporters breached the US Capitol security in Washington D.C., United States on January 06, 2021. Pro-Trump rioters stormed the US Capitol as lawmakers were set to sign off Wednesday on President-elect Joe Biden’s electoral victory in what was supposed to be a routine process headed to Inauguration Day. (Photo by Tayfun Coskun/Anadolu Agency via Getty Images) Anadolu Agency \| Anadolu Agency \| Getty Images The head of the National Association of Manufacturers, a group representing 14,000 companies in the U.S., on Wednesday said clashes in Washington that interrupted a Congressional gathering to certify Electoral College results of the 2020 presidential election were “not the vision of America that manufacturers believe in” and called on Vice President Pence to “seriously consider” invoking the 25th Amendment of the Constitution to remove President Donald Trump from office. The statement came as the Business Roundtable and leaders such as Citi CEO Michael Corbat and Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff condemned the acts. Jay Timmons, the group’s president and CEO and a former executive director of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, pointed to the millions of people in manufacturing jobs who are working to fight the coronavirus pandemic, which brought on an economic recession. Last year the group gave an award to President Donald Trump’s daughter Ivanka Trump for “extraordinary support” of manufacturing in America. Here’s Timmons’ full statement: “Armed violent protestors who support the baseless claim by outgoing President Trump that he somehow won an election that he overwhelmingly lost have stormed the U.S. Capitol today, attacking police officers and first responders, because Trump refused to accept defeat in a free and fair election. Throughout this whole disgusting episode, Trump has been cheered on by members of his own party, adding fuel to the distrust that has enflamed violent anger. This is not law and order. This is chaos. It is mob rule. It is dangerous. This is sedition and should be treated as such. The outgoing president incited violence in an attempt to retain power, and any elected leader defending him is violating their oath to the Constitution and rejecting democracy in favor of anarchy. Anyone indulging conspiracy theories to raise campaign dollars is complicit. Vice President Pence, who was evacuated from the Capitol, should seriously consider working with the Cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment to preserve democracy. This is not the vision of America that manufacturers believe in and work so hard to defend. Across America today, millions of manufacturing workers are helping our nation fight the deadly pandemic that has already taken hundreds of thousands of lives. We are trying to rebuild an economy and save and rebuild lives. But none of that will matter if our leaders refuse to fend off this attack on America and our democracy -- because our very system of government, which underpins our very way of life, will crumble.”
