Elizabeth Heng nearly beat incumbent Democratic congressman Jim Costa in California’s open primaries in early June. The 53–47 outcome would have made her the darling of the national political media, had she been a Democrat. She will face Costa again in the general election in November. My colleague Alexandra DeSanctis wrote an excellent piece last month profiling the young, smart, 33-year-old Republican contender.
So this happened yesterday. Heng’s campaign had tried to place this video as an ad on Facebook. It begins with her family’s roots — amidst the horror of Cambodian genocide.

And Facebook responded with a big ixnay. Here’s a screenshot of the rejection provided by the candidate:
Is the Cambodian Genocide now a non-event? Or just too icky for the Silicon Valley Boys?

Seriously, why do we insist on making our enemies rich?
Shiny objects attract the vulnerable.
I hate Faceplant.
This Central Valley district went for both Obama and Clinton by 58%.
However, it’s pat due to join the other Central Valley districts as a reliable red. It’s directly south of Devin Nunes district, just north of McCarthy’s.
In fact, past due for red.
Excellent, she got the “banned in Boston” treatment. It will get here more attention than the ad would have.
Change “adversity” to “ickyness” - FacePlant is too stupid to notice.
When are the social media monopolies going to be busted up? Facebook, twitter, youtube, all of them need to be in front of a judge explaining why they should be allowed to have monopolies.
We need to get this all over everyone’s wall.
This is what you get for being a young, minority conservative with a chance to win. That’s unacceptable. it’s in violation of Facebook’s policies.
Just a guess — but I figure the FSB-book censors only looked at the first 30 seconds of the film.
Yah, sure. Heng educates voters on the cruelty of Pol Pot’s regime. Where *you* might end up the first against the wall when the revolution comes. Her film shows — gasp! — people, err, “enemies of the state”, slaughtered by a kleptocratic, insane government.
The rest of her film remains a straightforward explanation of what the American dream is about, and how the current congresscritter hasn’t done jack. Aside from the opening scenes showing victims of the Pol Pot reign, nothing in this video can remotely deserve censorship. Given what else is on the media these days, why bother dumping those shots anyway?
So, naturally, said film requires censorship from politically-correct overlords. Go figure.
I think this is good publicity for her.
She gets this sort of publicity, now, initially.
Then it seems she can edit the commercial, and run it later.
Watch her campaign.
She will do well.
By 2020 there will be a larger split between the D's and Cali Latinos (Calatino, good party name, go ahead, use it), and there's big Latino opposition to Prop 209, which Asians (and anyone with sense) support. Thanks RightGeek.
Facebook a group of Liberals acting Superior because they know how to program.
They’re just collecting skulls and stacking em high...
Wow
Thought
What if each of us on FB post this article and encourage people to share it ?
FR has a FB page maybe it could be encouraged there? How about it Jim?
Hey, good idea but might that get us all banned on FB?
And don’t want our FR site to get banned on FB, only thing that saves my sanity when our web site goes down. LOL
Wait, I read your post wrong, well it happens.
You want us to post the National Review article, right?
I can do that to both twitter and FB and I will.
