That's Congresswoman Cueball to you. The full 6 min. clip is about much more than restaurants. Many of my AAPI/Chinese constituents have experienced racist attacks & biz boycotts. We are all at risk & in this together. Race targeted scapegoating is hurtful & irresponsible.

They were carrying the Nazi flag, spewing cruel anti-Semitic slurs, and wearing shirts invoking Auschwitz. The word choice is spot on. You are disgraceful. Resign already.

Really sad. At a time of deep national division, President-elect Biden’s choice to call his political opponents literal Nazis does nothing to bring us together or promote healing. This kind of vicious partisan rhetoric only tears our country apart.

8 yrs old. That’s how old @IlhanMN was when she fled for her life as her home was decimated by war I know you think war’s a for profit video game @IngrahamAngle but you’d be wise to take a seat and take your cues from folks like Ilhan who actually know what they’re talking about
