Another lightweight enters the ring. Imagine being publicly schooled by Hugh Hewitt! Suarez, of course, is lying. He doesn’t know diddly about Chinese racism.

“You gave me homework, Hugh. I’ll look at what a, what was it, what did you call it, a Weeble?” Suarez asked, laughing.

Yuck it up, Chuckles; there’s nothing funnier than genocide.

China is no more communist than Russia is. It’s an oligarchy run by a dictator. So drop the commie stuff until you and your buddies divest completely from companies that do business there.
I’m guessing that your sympathy with them Yuujerrs, or whatever foreign-type ignorant thing they call themselves, would stop if that same band of religious refugees tried to settle in your state capitol.

Of course, I am well aware of the suffering of the Uyghurs in China. They are being enslaved because of their faith. China has a deplorable record on human rights and all people of faith suffer there.

I didn’t recognize the pronunciation my friend Hugh Hewitt used.

The Council on Foreign Relations says that, since 2017, over 80,000 Uyghur prisoners have been sent to factories throughout China linked to 83 global brands, including: Abercrombie & Fitch, Acer, Adidas, Amazon, Apple, BMW, Bombardier, Bosch, Calvin Klein, Cisco, Dell, Electrolux, Fila, The Gap, General Motors, Goertek, Google, H&M, Hart Schaffner Marx, Hitachi, HP, Huawei, Jaguar, L.L.Bean, Lacoste, Land Rover, Lenovo, LG, Mercedes-Benz, MG, Microsoft, Mitsubishi, Nike, Nintendo, Nokia, Oculus, Panasonic, Polo Ralph Lauren, Samsung, Sharp, Siemens, Skechers, Sony, TDK, Tommy Hilfiger, Toshiba, and Victoria’s Secret.

How many of these brands is the average American (happily) wearing or using at this very moment?

Hewitt nailed pronunciation and Suarez knows it, because he echoed it.
