Instead, they doubled down on hate.<\/p>\n<p>Yang, a proud Asian American, ended his campaign on Tuesday. &#8220;I am not going to be mayor of New York City based on the numbers that have come in tonight,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Nominating an Asian-American candidate for NYC mayor would have sent a powerful message at a time when anti-Asian violence is on the rise in Democratic-controlled cities across the country, and Democrats\u00a0have\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/satire\/anti-asian-democrats\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">come under fire<\/a> for refusing to hold institutions accountable for anti-Asian bigotry.<\/p>\n<p>A victory for Yang might have helped mainstream journalists redeem themselves after their <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/media\/andrew-yang-erasure\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">shameful efforts<\/a> to erase Yang&#8217;s candidacy during the 2020 Democratic presidential primary, when Yang accused MSNBC, among others, of &#8220;trying to suppress and minimize my campaign.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Alas, mainstream coverage of Yang&#8217;s mayoral campaign was marred by a slew of questionable hit pieces. For example, he was denounced as an adherent of &#8220;bro culture&#8221; and accused of offending LGBT activists after describing them as &#8220;human and beautiful.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Yang&#8217;s failure to win the support of Democrats in New York City reflects a broader trend within the party. In April, for example, Democratic lawmakers <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/satire\/anti-asian-democrats\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">blocked<\/a> legislation that would have discouraged universities from discriminating against Asian-American students.<\/p>\n<p>The Biden administration, meanwhile, <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/biden-administration\/justice-dept-abandons-admissions-discrimination-lawsuit-against-yale\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">dropped<\/a> a Justice Department lawsuit against Yale University for unlawful discrimination against Asian-American applicants. As hate crimes against Asian Americans have continued to rise, President Joe Biden has <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/politics\/joe-biden-anti-asian-racism\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">stocked<\/a> his administration with graduates of Yale and other Ivy League universities that have long been accused of anti-Asian discrimination.<\/p>\n<p>Yang&#8217;s defeat comes less than a week after the president&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/satire\/joe-biden-crackhead-son\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">crackhead son<\/a>, Hunter Biden, was <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2021\/06\/16\/hunter-biden-called-asians-yellow-in-text-exchange-with-cousin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">exposed<\/a> for using an anti-Asian slur while texting his cousin about what type of model he wanted to date. Mainstream journalists declined to cover the First Son&#8217;s racist outburst, raising further questions about their alleged commitment to combating white supremacy.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Satire Party continues to block efforts to hold institutions accountable for anti-Asian bigotry  Getty  Andrew Stiles \u2022 June 23, 2021 10:45 am Andrew &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":2281074,"comment_status":"close","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/GettyImages-1323381578-736x491-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"Amid Spike in Anti-Asian Violence, Democratic Voters Shun Asian-American Candidate in NYC Mayoral Primary","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-571453","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/GettyImages-1323381578-736x491-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"Amid Spike in Anti-Asian Violence, Democratic Voters Shun Asian-American Candidate in NYC Mayoral Primary","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/571453","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=571453"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/571453\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2281074"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=571453"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=571453"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=571453"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
