‘The IOC should move the 2022 Olympics out of Beijing’

 An Op-Ed by Rick Scott (R), Senator for Florida makes the case in the Washington Post, of all places.*

I agree. Beijing should be stripped of the 22 Winter Games on the strength of its treatment of Uygurs alone. There’s plenty more, under the horrid Xi, but the policies of extermination of a people’s culture alone is more than enough. 

Let’s see what happens. And what contortions the IOC goes through if it decides to let a Beijing keep the Games. Follow the money, I’d say.

* ”of all places” because the WaPo is rather left of centre, doesn’t usually give voice to Republicans.
