"This is the 1936 Berlin Games all over again," Smith said, referring to the Olympic games held in Germany just before the outbreak of World War II.

Rep. Smith, a staunchly pro-life Catholic who has chaired 75 congressional hearings on human rights abuses in Communist-controlled China, told LifeSite's Jim Hale during an interview on Tuesday that it's "unconscionable" that the United States would participate in the Olympic games while "a genocide is occurring simultaneously."

Although the Biden administration has implemented a largely symbolic "diplomatic boycott" against this year's Winter Olympics, which kicked off February 4, it has nonetheless permitted American athletes to participate in the games.

"This is the 1936 Berlin Games all over again," Smith said, referring to the Olympic games held in Germany just before the outbreak of World War II. "Instead of the Nazis, it is the Chinese Communist Party."

Smith said that in 2014 when China was given the opportunity to host the 2022 Olympics, Chinese dictator Xi Jinping had already been "planning the genocide against the Uyghurs," a Muslim minority group that has been subjected to abuse, torture, and genocide at the hands of the Chinese government.

"We have documents that clearly show, [Xi Jinping] said: ‘show no mercy, destroy them.' And he's committing classical genocide," Rep. Smith said. "It meets the definition of the UN Convention on Genocide, including forced abortion to get rid of children."

Smith pointed out that China's brutality extends not only to the Uyghur Muslims, but "the Hong Kongers and every faith, including Christians" since "everything has to comport with Xi Jinping's ideology."

According to Smith, the Beijing Winter Olympics have already been "chaotic."

The congressman mentioned the Dutch reporter who was abruptly dragged away by Chinese police during a live broadcast last week, and blasted the Chinese government for the "terrible charade" of having a Uyghur Muslim skier take on the role of the Olympic torchbearer in an apparent bid to convince the world that Uyghurs are not oppressed by the CCP.

"[T]his Olympics is the Genocide Olympics," Smith argued, adding that he asked the Biden administration last March to change the venue for the games but his request was ignored.

According to Smith ...Joe Biden is complicit with China in more ways than permitting US athletes to compete in the Beijing Olympics.

"...Biden unfortunately has enabled the Chinese Communist Party for a long time," Smith said.

The congressman mentioned that Biden, while chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee in 2011, failed to denounce China's one-child policy.

The then-vice president drew backlash from Republicans and pro-lifers at the time when he said "I fully understand" and "I'm not second-guessing" the brutal CCP policy which has coerced women into killing their unborn children.

"How dare you enable such a repression of women, the worst crimes against women imaginable and of course, their babies who are being slaughtered by the government?" the congressman said.

Smith also pointed out that Biden, along with his scandal-ridden son Hunter, is "making significant money through China," an allegation which investigative journalist Peter Schweizer expounded upon in his best-selling book Red-Handed: How American Elites Get Rich Helping China Win, which was released this year...
