A Hispanic congresswoman is facing a fierce backlash for telling a Spanish-language TV station that "the Vietnamese" are trying to take her seat.

California Rep. Loretta Sanchez's racially-charged statement was made during an interview with Univision and aimed at her opponent, Van Tran, the Republican state assemblyman whose family had to flee Vietnam after the fall of Saigon.

"The Vietnamese and the Republicans are, with an intensity, trying to take away this seat -- this seat that we have done so much for our community – take away this seat from us and give it to this Van Tran, who is very anti-immigrant and very anti-Hispanic," she said according to a translation on YouTube.

...

"At a time when our state faces an unemployment rate above 12 percent, Loretta Sanchez resorts to insensitive racist attacks against her own constituents," said Tran campaign spokesman George Andrews. "Her attack against immigrants and the Vietnamese community on national television is shocking. The 47th Congressional District belongs to the people and not an individual ethnicity."

Remember: Democrats can only play the race cards.

They can never be considered racists... [ /sarcasm off ]

Finally, this is a very close race.

This might be another example of Foot-in-Mouth Disease costing the Democrats a Congressional seat.

Race is never supposed to work against Democrats. It means they aren't driving enough wedges between people, and it means they are losing the race is everything, indoctrination war.

True, but the Vietnamese are conservative. Truth be told, in their own lives, hispanics are socially conservative too.

I hope this is a fair and square race.

How many dead Vietnamese are voting? How many illegal alien Vietnamese are voting. Does Tran have a geek squad creating fictitious families at fictitious addresses? How's he doing with the incarcerated voters, and released felons?

The Sanchez Sisters are the Democratic Party's Vote Fraud Laboratory. If only there were a strong GOP voice against vote fraud ... instead of spineless wimps only interested in doing more business with the Democrats' permission!

I hope Van Tran beats this racist liberal fair and square.

It's long past time for her to be rendered obsolete.

Isn't diversity wonderful? I thought we were all supposed to hold hands and be friends, just as soon as all those evil white people stopped being so racist.

Actually it was B 1 Bomber Bob’s seat until Loretta appended her Hispanic name to her married name, then stole the election with the full cooperation of the House of Representatives RINO establishment. It worked so well her sister ran and got elected as well.

I think I have it right, but old people................
