A Cambodian-American whose anti-socialism ad triggered Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has hit back after the Democratic Socialist called it a “love letter to the GOP’s white supremacist case.”
Elizabeth Heng, founder of New Faces GOP, ran the 30-second ad during Thursday’s Democratic presidential debate. It begins with a picture of AOC which burns away to reveal images of the Cambodian genocide while Heng narrates.
“This is the face of socialism and ignorance,” says Heng, asking “Does Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez know the horror of socialism?”
“My father was minutes from death in Cambodia before a forced marriage saved his life. That’s socialism. Forced obedience. Starvation. Mine is a face of freedom. My skin is not white. I’m not outrageous, racist or socialist. I’m a Republican,” she continues.
We have a choice: Will we let socialists like @AOC be the face of our future? Or will a new generation of conservatives step up & lead us? We're launching New Faces GOP to help identify & support the next generation of GOP leaders. Learn more: https://t.co/UrarCUSAIl pic.twitter.com/LgwTrS8En6

Instead of addressing the merit of Heng’s ad, Ocastio-Cortez played the race card.
“Republicans are running TV ads setting pictures of me on fire to convince people they aren’t racist,” tweeted the freshman lawmaker, adding “Life is weird!”
Know that this wasn’t an ad for young conservatives of color - that was the pretense.
What you just watched was a love letter to the GOP’s white supremacist case. https://t.co/zvp1EB02c5

AOC’s fellow “Squad”-mate Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) was similarly triggered by the ad, calling “The mere act of burner her image” a “display of violence.”
“Folks need to stick to facts & policy positions,” she added - perhaps unaware of the irony.
Exactly my thoughts. The mere act of burning her image is a display of violence. Folks need to stick to facts & policy positions. They need to stop fear mongering & more importantly demonizing members of Congress. FYI: No one puts her residents (and our planet) first, like @AOC https://t.co/K2Qz1N0PeN

Heng - a former staffer to California GOP Rep. Ed Royce (who lost a state House race during the last cycle), hit back - saying in a statement “This ad is about fighting the socialist agenda that has taken over the Democratic Party,” adding “I am not afraid to engage in a debate of ideas, and it is the AOC extremists that have to resort in name calling because they don’t have real solutions for our country.”

How many people do they estimate that owns an AK47. These are Chinese and Russian manufactured arms. Very few people own these weapons. Many of them only have a 3 round clip that makes them less than automatic.
i suppose these four squat thugs never read the book “the killing field”. Heng got it right. the picture she showed was just a fraction of the skull in comparison to the huge pile of skulls stack on top each other in Cambodia by infamy dictator Pot. maybe these four thugs will be joining him burning in fire and brimstone (sulfur) that never quench.
I have proof that Blunder Woman Cortez never got past the 6th grade!
Wow, AOC and Jethro on the Beverly Hillbillies both graduated the sixth grade … that explains a lot.
Guilty dogs bark first.
Those who can’t debate, scream.
Those who don’t learn from the past, repeat the past.
AOC and her ilk comrades are only showboating. They are fine examples of what has happened to our school systems. The ‘measures’ and ‘positions’ they come up with are only to disarm and control the populous, and usher-in Socialism.
It doesn’t matter how smart she is if she’s loud enough. The Demonrat Party thinks she’s the bee’s knees because she has “so many followers” (Twiterers). Maybe, but luckily 99% of them can’t vote in her district . . .
Right below, here, is the note leading to a detailed article showing that it is Marxism and Socialism and not conservatism that is racist. Included in this writing is a discussion of the horribly racist and offensive N-Word and the history of that loathsome term:

Not to disarm the populous but certain citizens, the inner city gang bangers are not on the lists. Because gang records compiled by gang squad officers are not reliable says the Democrats of the House of representatives. This nation is one election away from communism.
