Jeffries is leading Democrats in condemning remarks from Rep. Lance Gooden that suggested removing the security clearance of Chinese American lawmaker Rep. Judy Chu.
Chu's credibility on Fox News: "I’m really disappointed and shocked that someone like Judy Chu would have a security clearance and entitled to confidential intelligence briefings until this is figured out."The response:
Jeffries called Gooden's comments towards Chu "slanderous" and described Chu, the first Chinese American woman elected to Congress, as "a hardworking, patriotic American public servant."Chu said in a statement: "Rep. Gooden’s comments on Fox News questioning my loyalty to the USA is absolutely outrageous."
She called Gooden's remarks racist, adding "I very much doubt that he would be spreading these lies were I not of Chinese American descent."The CAPAC called on House GOP leadership to join the group in condemning "attacks on Chinese Americans, elected or otherwise" similar to those from Goodman. "After centuries of being targeted for not being ‘American enough’ and viewed with suspicion based on looking ‘foreign,’ this type of insinuation and fear mongering only further endangers our communities," the group said in a statement.Axios on facebook
