US politicians' tweets expose their ugly hypocrisy and malice

By whitewashing violence as a struggle for democracy and deliberately misinterpreting the work of Hong Kong police, some US politicians are clearly encouraging criminal acts in the Chinese metropolis and meddling in China's internal affairs.

According to reports, US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, US Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, Senator Marco Rubio and Congressman Ted Yoho on Monday all tweeted that the Hong Kong police were violently suppressing the demonstrators and accused the Chinese central government of eroding democracy and freedom in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.

On Tuesday, former US secretary of state Hillary Clinton joined the chorus, encouraging Hong Kong people to speak out for democracy and freedom.
