GOP Rep. Michelle Steel's campaign doctored images to make Democratic rival Jay Chen appear to be a communist sympathizer.
The race between Rep. Michelle Steel and Jay Chen in a congressional district drawn to empower Asian Americans now features charges of racism, sexism and red-baiting.
The Steel campaign countered that the flier provides important information to voters as they decide who to support in the November election. Democrats have a 5-point voter registration edge in the district, which is centered on the Little Saigon community in Orange County. One-third of the district’s voters are Asian American, and half of them are of Vietnamese descent.
Part of what draws him to Steel is her heritage. “Being born in [South] Korea, she understands the North Korea situation and how unstable it is for our security.... She realizes the threat of communism to the world,” he said.
