The Babylon Bee is again at the center of controversy with a satirical news article that some Christian leaders are denouncing for anti-Asian racism.
The headline, placed above an image of Dr. Anthony Fauci with a “Fu Manchu” style goatee, wearing a conical hat, and standing in a rice field, reads, “China Introduces New Head Of COVID Policy Dr. Anthon-Yong Fauching.”
“In a televised address to 1.4 billion beloved citizens caged in their own homes in the name of health, Chairman Xi Jinping introduced the Chinese Communist Party’s new Head of COVID Policy, Dr. Anthon-Yong Fauching,” the article said.
The article then joked that the new Head of China’s COVID policy demanded the execution of a journalist who questioned his methods, touting the success of the new measures while “wiping fresh blood from his hands and humming a happy tune.”
