In a third tweet, Weihua said, “Wonder why the US Congress would have approval rating as low as 9% (according to Gallup)? It is because people like lowlife Marsha Blackburn were there.”

Responding to Weihua’s tweets, Blackburn tweeted, “Chen, you’re a puppet in Xi Jinping’s delusional China dream for global domination. From Tiananmen Square to Uyghur genocide, Communist China is an expert at slaughtering populations. America will not bow down to sexist communist thugs.

Earlier in the day, Blackburn also tweeted thanks to President Donald Trump for banning cotton imports made from forced Chinese labor. On Wednesday, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced an order to seize cotton imports produced by the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps (XPCC), citing concerns about forced labor in Xinjiang, where an estimated 1.8 million Muslim minority Uyghurs are believed to be detained.
Blackburn tweeted, “Thank you @realDonaldTrump for banning cotton produced by forced Uyghur labor. The U.S. will not support companies that profit off of slave labor.”
