A California Democratic congressional candidate’s reported demeaning remarks about his Republican incumbent opponent, like “you kind of need an interpreter” to understand her, prove telling as to what progressive politicians really think about women and immigrants after offering defense instead of apology.
Jay Chen, a veteran of the U.S. Navy, business owner and liberal activist, has seen fit to attack Rep. Michelle Steel over who she is rather than what she believes. Steel, who is a first-term congresswoman, was elected to represent California’s 48th district but has been redistricted into what is believed to be the more Democrat friendly 45th district. She also happens to have been born in Seoul, South Korea.
While speaking at an April 7 event at the Congregation B’nai Tzedek synagogue in Fountain Valley, CA, Chen addressed Steel’s heavy Korean accent head on. . @jfchen mocking @RepSteel ‘s accent: “You kind of need an interpreter to figure out exactly what she’s saying. The more she speaks, the better for us.” Will Chen apologize for his horrendous comments? >>> https://t.co/Jg0tGah9Tr pic.twitter.com/icCExcV4Jh — Torunn Sinclair (@TorunnSinclair) April 13, 2022 “We…yeah, so she just had another town hall the other day. And, umm, it’s tough,” Chen said. “Like, we’ve transcribed it. You kind of need an interpreter to figure out exactly what she’s saying.”
“The more she speaks,” he added, “the better for us.”
After receiving backlash for his remark, Chen’s campaign released a statement to Fox News Digital where he played the victim explaining his own background as a child of Taiwanese immigrants and that his father “would never get the promotion” he deserved because he was Asian.
“It’s disgusting the Michelle Steel and Kevin McCarthy are slinging false and hateful attacks to distract from their own lies,” Chen’s campaign countered. “Steel opposed the Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal and then lied to her […]

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
