WASHINGTON, D.C. – In case you missed it, Senator Rick Scott is requesting to meet with President Joe Biden to discuss the horrific human rights atrocities occurring across Communist China and the Senator’s continued calls for the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to select a new site for the 2022 Winter Olympics Games.

“Republican Sen. Rick Scott is requesting a meeting with President Biden and calling for his ‘immediate attention’ to moving the 2022 Winter Olympic Games out of Beijing, citing China’s human rights abuses.

Scott, R-Fla., said ‘the horrific human rights abuses perpetrated by China’s communist government against its own people cannot be ignored.’

‘Under no circumstance should the global community give Communist China an international platform to whitewash its crimes, which is what will happen if they are allowed to host the 2022 Olympic Games in Beijing,’ Scott wrote in a letter.

Scott has repeatedly urged the International Olympic Committee to move the games out of China and to a country ‘that respects basic human rights.’

Scott pointed that ‘more than one million Uyghurs are detained in concentration camps designed to erase their religious and ethnic cultural identities," and in Hong Kong, "the Chinese Communist Party has worked to strip away the civil liberties of more than five million people.’

But Scott said he wanted ‘to make very clear that the United States cannot simply boycott the games.’

…

Scott said that working together, he and the president could ‘seize this opportunity to show that America is the world’s greatest supporter of freedom, democracy and human rights for all, while preserving the marvel that is and must always be so perfectly captured by the unity created by the Olympic Games.’

Scott earlier this month also introduced a resolution in the Senate calling on the International Olympic Committee to move the 2022 Winter Olympics out of China and rebid it to another country unless Beijing ‘immediately addresses its egregious and numerous violations of human rights.’”
