Poor Loretta, she was left with nothing to do but apologize. "I used a poor choice of words that some people have taken as offensive," she said at a news conference Friday afternoon. "I apologize for those remarks." But she didn't apologize for calling him "very anti-immigrant and very anti-Hispanic.''
"She directly attacked me, slandered me," Tran said on Friday, demanding an apology. A lawyer who with his family left Saigon shortly before South Vietnam fell to the communists in 1975, Tran accused her of going on "a racial rampage" on Spanish-language TV.
We throw those words around too loosely, but the truth is, there's no way to misinterpret Sanchez's remarks. She was plainly playing the race card, making a play for the Hispanic vote by pitting Latinos against the smaller Vietnamese community.
What's startling, too, was her apparent sense of entitlement. When she said that the Vietnamese and the GOP were trying to "take away this seat," she clearly meant "our seat."

“No, you’re thinking about Cao of Louisiana.”
Cao is one of the Vichy Republicans. He will either be voted out, given the demographics and racial bigotry of his constituency*, or he may change coats and become a Democrat in the future. He has performed as simpering fool and capering jester at the Obama court on a couple of occasions now. Cao is also a failed seminarian. He appears to be reliably unreliable, but maintains that the course of his life is directed by the Spirit**.

“Democrats just can’t help but let their racism slip.”
This is so true. They have pulled in select voting blocks by pushing class and racial warfare.
