Tan blamed Boudin for physical attacks on Asians.”

There’s a fair argument that Tan is joking about violence against people whose policies are facilitating actual violence.

Were that so, why would there be a rise in crime targeted at Asians across the the US in recent years?

Boudin is just one example of the trend of progressive prosecutors all over the country. And Asians tend to be the victims of any reduction in law and order, because they are seen as easy targets by gangs and a large fraction of them live in areas where gangs operate. They also tend to own or work at small businesses in the place affected by the 2020 riots. If crime goes up in New York City, for example, the Bangladeshi is in Jamaica are going to be hit disproportionately hard.

Right right, I'm sure it's nothing to do with any prominent political figures stoking paranoia about Chinese communists to rile up a wilfully ignorant voter base.
