New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy isn’t the only one who dealt out a devastating burn this week. Twitter is currently losing its collective mind over a senior reporter for China Daily, Chen Weiha, calling U.S. Senator Marsha Blackburn a “lifetime b—-” for a blatantly racist statement issued on her Twitter account.

“China has a 5,000 year history of cheating and stealing,” she wrote for some reason. “Some things will never change…”

In his reply, Weiha also called Blackburn “racist and ignorant” before landing the final hilarious blow.
Blackburn seems to have some kind of personal vendetta against China, insisting on calling the novel coronavirus by the racist name promoted by Donald Trump. She has also been posting about some kind of feud between China and Australia, boosting articles claiming that the former is “bullying” the latter nation.

She also appears to be outspoken about the ongoing cultural genocide of Uyghurs in China as whistleblowers and journalists have exposed the forced labor and reeducation camps these individuals are being sent to for practicing their religion. While this genocide is a real and very serious problem, Blackburn ruined any credibility she might have had on the issue by making a racist statement about the entirety of China’s ancient history.
It’s also not a good look when she’s a senator for a nation that exists on land stolen from the Native Americans and built by people stolen from Africa.
Blackburn responded to Weihua a couple hours after he once again called her a “b—-“, calling him “a puppet in Xi Jinping’s delusional China dream for global domination” for working for state-affiliated Chinese media.

“From Tiananmen Square to Uyghur genocide, Communist China is an expert at slaughtering populations,” she wrote. “America will not bow down to sexist communist thugs.”
Senator Marco Rubio also jumped to Blackburn’s defense, posting a screenshot of the second “b—-” tweet with a simple message: “Meet the #China Daily EU Bureau chief.” Weihua, however, issued a clarification on how he really feels about Blackburn.

“Hi, Marco, this is an understatement,” said Weihua. “She is much worse than that.”
We just hope this feud keeps going into the weekend.
