Captain Jay Baker, the spokesman for the Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office in Georgia, is under fire for suggesting that the Atlanta-area shooter "had a bad day." “He was pretty much fed up and had been kind of at the end of his rope,” Baker said at a news conference Wednesday. “Yesterday was a really bad day for him, and this is what he did.” Baker was addressing the motive behind 21-year-old Robert Aaron Long's killing spree which led to the death of eight women, six of whom were of Asian descent.  Baker is also accused of sharing anti-Asian posts on Facebook last year, supporting former President Donald Trump 's inflammatory "China virus" rhetoric.  🚨BREAKING: Police Captain Jay Baker — who seemingly excused the white male mass shooter who murdered 6 Asian women as having “had a very bad day” — previously posted a picture of a racist t-shirt that said Coronavirus was imported from “CHY-NA.” #StopAsianHate pic.twitter.com/fKG48kv9VJ — Kaivan Shroff (@KaivanShroff) March 17, 2021
