Democrats have slammed Rep. Lance Gooden (R-TX) for remarks he made suggesting Rep. Judy Chu (D-CA), a Chinese American, should not have access to classified materials and briefings while citing a report that the California Democrat had ties to the Chinese Communist Party.
Gooden told Fox News host Jesse Watters on Wednesday that he thinks “Judy Chu needs to be called out” and “looked into” while referencing a report by the Daily Caller in which Chu defended Dominic Ng, President Joe Biden’s appointee to the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Business Advisory Council. The report alleged that Ng has ties to two CCP intelligence front groups, which prompted Gooden and a handful of GOP lawmakers to send a letter calling for the FBI to launch an investigation.
DCCC Chairman Suzan DelBene echoed Jeffries’s sentiments, asserting that she believes the comments are divisive and an effort to spread misinformation. Rep. Adam Schiff , who was recently booted from the House Intelligence Committee, took to social media to condemn Gooden’s comments and Fox News for airing them.
