Joe Biden's special climate czar, John Kerry, repeatedly has stated that the issue of slave labor in China isn't in his "Lane," so he's ignoring the travesty while trying to convince the Chinese to join his climate change agenda.
The Free Beacon is reporting that Democrats forced a plan from Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., that would ban products made with Chinese slave labor from the U.S. out of a package of amendments being voted on.
The report explained the Democrats "Are blocking" the legislation to prohibit imports from China if they are made with Uyghur slave labor.
The plan was in a package of 25 amendments to the annual defense bill the Free Beacon explained, "Democrats excluded the amendment from a vote late Wednesday night, after members of the party privately objected to it."
Are Democrats refusing to fight plans that attack Chinese slave labor?
The Beacon noted, "Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer offered conflicting explanations for the holdup on Wednesday, with his office initially suggesting to the Free Beacon that Republicans were blocking a vote on the amendment. The anti-slavery act has 'been on the list of amendments Senate Democrats proposed the Senate to vote on that the Republicans have been objecting to so you should ask the Senate Republicans why they're blocking the vote,' Schumer spokesman Justin Goodman told the Free Beacon."
His plan would ban imports from the Xinjiang region of China where Uyghur minority members are subjected to "Forced labor, mass surveillance, and detention camps," the report said.
