April 14, 2022

The DCCC is standing with Jay Chen, their candidate in CA-45, after he mocked Congresswoman Michelle Steel’s accent.

Chen said, on video, during a meet and greet last week: “Yeah, so she just had another town hall the other day. And, umm, it’s tough. Like, we’ve transcribed it. You kind of need an interpreter to figure out exactly what she’s saying” 

NRCC COMMENT: “Jay Chen mocking Congresswoman Steel’s accent is horrendous and xenophobic, and it’s despicable that national Democrats are condoning it.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Torunn Sinclair
