‘Dangerous, unconscionable and xenophobic’: Rep. Judy Chu calls out Texas GOP lawmaker for ‘racist’ comments – By Maya Boddie (Alternet) / Feb 24, 2023
Rep. Judy Chu (D-CA) called out Rep. Lance Gooden (R-TX) for directing “racist” and “xenophobic” comments towards her during a Fox News interview, asserting the congresswoman’s security clearance and access to classified briefings should be revoked, NBC reports.
Per NBC, in response to Chu’s defense of President Joe Biden-appointed U.S. member of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Business Advisory Council, Dominic Ng, Gooden posited the congresswoman is both disloyal to the United States and incapable of doing her job. Right-wing website Daily Caller previously “alleged [Chu] has ties to a Chinese Communist Party front group.”
During the interview, the Texas congressman suggested “Judy Chu needs to be called out,” saying, “I question her either loyalty or competence. If she doesn’t realize what’s going on, then she’s totally out of touch with one of her core constituencies.”
