Hillary Clinton wants everyone to see she is a loyal Democrat.
But Clinton went too far.
And now Hillary Clinton took this huge risk that is about to come back and bite her.
As Black Eye Politics reports:
Former Secretary of State and failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton slammed the people who criticized Democratic California Rep. Judy Chu’s alleged connections to China’s Communist government.
There are reportedly photographs of Rep. Chu accepting appointments from leaders from both the All America Chinese Youth Federation (AACYF) as well as the Forums for Peaceful Reunification of China.
There are multiple Chinese-language articles in Chinese news outlets such as ChinaNews.com and Sina.com which reported that Chu accepted a position as AACYF’s “honorary president” during a meeting with the organization’s leaders in Chu’s Los Angeles office on October 9, 2012.
“The attacks on Rep. Judy Chu are false, racist, and xenophobic. All people of conscience should stand together to say so.” Clinton said on Twitter.
Clinton has, in the past, taken large donations and worked with figures who were linked to the Chinese Communist Party.
Wang Wenliang, a member of China’s Communist government’s National People’s Congress before being ousted due to a large-scale vote-buying scandal, was a major donor to the Clinton Foundation according to the Washington Post.
Wenliang’s companies donated $2 million to the Clinton Foundation in 2013, and also a further $120,000 to former Governor of Virginia Terry McAuliffe, who served as chairman of Hillary Clinton’s 2008 presidential campaign, the Washington Post reported.
“While the complete donor history of the Clinton Foundation is unknown, the organization did release a list of donors in 2008 ahead of Clinton’s first failed presidential campaign, The New York Times reported. On it were several Chinese firms, including tech giant Alibaba, which was listed as having donated at least $100,000, and a firm called China Overseas Real Estate Development, which donated at least $250,000, although it’s unclear if the latter has any connection to the CCP.” The Daily Caller reported.
Chu claimed on Thursday that questioning her loyalty to America “lays the groundwork” for more hate to be directed at members of the Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) community.
“It’s outrageous, it’s racist, it’s disgusting,” said Chu. “And it just lays the groundwork for questioning AAPIs in this country, and it lays the groundwork for more anti-AAPI hate.”
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) also said attacks against Chu were “dangerous, unconscionable and xenophobic.”
Democrats think that there shouldn’t be any investigation or accountability when there are serious allegations that a sitting Democratic congresswoman was named “honorary chairwoman” of an alleged Chinese intelligence front group back in 2019.
China is trying to infiltrate America’s government and influence our policy. Democrats need to wake up and see that China is a threat that needs to be taken seriously.
