White washed Asian vs. Asian, who's gonna win??

GOP Rep. Michelle Steel sends out fliers falsely depicting Democratic rival Jay Chen holding 'The Communist Manifesto'


California GOP Rep. Michelle Steel (R-CA) and her campaign reportedly funded and created “red-baiting” fliers targeting her Democratic opponent, Jay Chen.

Steel currently represents California’s 48th District in her first term. Born in South Korea, Steel made her mark by being one of the first Korean American women to serve in Congress. Like many other Asian American immigrants, Steel immigrated to the United States to achieve the supposed “American Dream.”

Previously part of the 48th district, a new 45th congressional district was created during the redrawing of district boundaries last year. The new boundaries were purportedly created to further empower Asian American voters in the region.

With Steel's upcoming re-election for California’s new 45th district, red-baiting fliers were sent out to the Vietnamese American community in Orange County. The flier featured a doctored image of Chen in a classroom holding Karl Marx’s “The Communist Manifesto,” reported the Los Angeles Times.

In addition, images of communist figures Mao Zedong, Vladimir Lenin and Ho Chi Minh, along with self-described democratic socialist Bernie Sanders, are seen hung up on the classroom walls.

“Jay Chen invited China into our children’s classroom” is written in Vietnamese on the chalkboard, according to the Times

The flier highlights Chen’s previous vote to support the Confucius Institution, a popular Beijing-backed language and cultural education center, during his time at Hacienda la Puente Unified School District years ago. However, Chen has defended himself by sharing his grandmother’s escape from communist China and his status as a “Naval Reserve officer with top-secret security clearance.”

California’s 45th congressional district contains a large Asian American plurality, holding the largest concentration of people of Vietnamese descent outside of Vietnam. Thus, the flier’s depiction of Chen is expected to boost Steel’s campaign since many in the AAPI community hold an ingrained opposition to communism due its oppressive history in Asia.

So... who's white washed and how is anyone white wash?
If the GOP rep is white washed (I think she married a white guy because of her last name), is the other candidate yellow washed?
Are Asian that married blacks, black washed? What about those that married Mexican, are they brown washed?

To me, you are already "white washed" if you live in America and adopted their cultures... and I know majority of all races in America have done it. Only the recently arrived immigrants are not yet washed.

Jay Chen campaign fires back after Rep. Michelle Steel sends out fliers depicting him as a communist


Amid the upcoming re-election for California’s 45th district, Democratic candidate Jay Chen fired back after GOP Rep. Michelle Steel (R-CA) distributed fliers that depicted Chen as a communist sympathizer.

Last month, Steel’s campaign sent out red-baiting fliers to the Vietnamese American community in Orange County to highlight Chen’s support of the Confucius Institute, an education and cultural promotion organization backed by the People’s Republic of China.

The flyers featured an altered image of Chen in a classroom holding Karl Marx’s “The Communist Manifesto.” On the classroom’s chalkboard, “Jay Chen invited China into our children’s classroom” is written in Vietnamese.


“Jay Chen spent the last decade voting for, promoting and defending his support for installing Chinese Communist Party-funded Confucius Institutes into classrooms and as recently as February was fundraising off his position,” Steel’s spokesperson Lance Trover said in a statement last week. “The State Department has said their mission is to advance Beijing’s global propaganda, and in an era where nothing passes unanimously, the U.S. Senate voted 100-0 to increase oversight of these CCP-funded institutes.”

The flier’s depiction of Chen was expected to boost Steel’s campaign, as California’s 45th congressional district contains a large Asian American plurality and holds the largest concentration of Vietnamese people outside of Vietnam. Many in the Asian community hold an ingrained opposition to communism due its oppressive history in Asia.

Chen, who is a Taiwanese American and Mt. San Antonio College Board of Trustees President, immediately disputed Steel’s flyers, claiming that his grandmother had fled China to escape communist rule. He also noted that he is a Naval Reserve officer with top-secret security clearance, a status that a Communist sympathizer would not earn.

Lindsay Barnes, his campaign manager, said Steel’s claim of Chen having ties to the Chinese Communist Party is “patently untrue.”

“In the span of only a few days, Michelle Steel — who has never worn a military uniform — preyed upon generational trauma in the Vietnamese community, pushed a patently untrue narrative that a Taiwanese-American is affiliated with the Chinese Communist Party, and attempted to defile a decorated Navy veteran’s reputation and allegiance to the United States,” Barnes said in a statement.

The issues of race and communist sympathy between the two candidates started when Steel accused Chen of racism in April after he said she needed an interpreter as it was difficult to understand what she was saying.

The tension between the two has highlighted some issues that are unseen in other districts.

“This flier issue is also showing that candidates need to be prepared more on their pasts, especially when it has to do with anything with any issue that affects Asian-Americans,” Ronald Yang, an Asian American candidate profiler in Washington, said. “Based on the Chen campaign’s reaction, they were a bit blind sighted by the accusations and the flyers, and they should have had something ready to go on it, but honestly, the specific flier probably threw a change up. It was good on the Chen campaign to point out his Naval Reserve and his grandmother’s history. Regardless of the flier, they should be playing up his military career a little more as a further counter.”

“This is going to be a close race, and the Steel campaign is leaving no stone unturned,” Yang added. “The flier was just the thing that made this erupt a bit. Probably will happen again in the race in some way between now and November 8th.”

An analysis of the district by CalMatters revealed that registered Democrats outnumber registered Republicans by 38% to 32%. However, Steel and another Republican candidate secured the majority of votes with 57% during the June primary.

Sure, like calling anybody a Conservative a racist Nazi isn't spreading false information?

At first, their lie was that only racist whites could ever be conservative. Assuming that non-whites can't be conservative or else they're traitors, blah blah blah is already racist itself. According to the left, non-white groups can't have varying political views. We're all supposed to belong to the same political party.  :idiot2:
