A reporter of Chinese descent is speaking out, weeks after Nebraska Gov. Jim Pillen dismissed her article on his company, Pillen Family Farms, because “the author is from Communist China.”
Yanqi Xu, 27, who is an immigrant from China and reports for the independent outlet Flatwater Free Press, told NBC News that Pillen's comments were a form of “bias.” Pillen, a Republican, had made the remarks on Omaha radio station KFAB in September, after he was asked to respond to her article that found high levels of nitrate on his hog farms.
“Number 1, I didn’t read it. And I won’t,” Pillen said on the air about Xu’s article. “Number 2, all you got to do is look at the author. The author is from Communist China. What more do you need to know?”

What part of his comment was a lie? And specially since her employer had to investigate her status to see if she was even legal. Were they so short of employment candidates? They hired someone from Carmen China?
China Airlines is ready when you are.
Truth is racist. Light is darkness, good is evil.
That’s a good place to be FROM…far from!
Maybe in Red China factual statements are a form of “bias.”
My parents were immigrants, I’m a US citizen and vet!
she had multiple jobs in Beijing. She worked for Chinese media as recently as 2017.
The governor got it completely right.
There was a meme floating around a while back….
People are so used to being lied to and manipulated that the truth and facts are considered aggressive.
So, you speak the truth. You are direct. You are aggressive.
We really need to limit who we allow into America.
I used to have a client from Communist China who swam to Taiwan to escape. It took him two tries. On the first one, he got lost and ended up swimming in circles, and they picked him up and put him in jail. On the second, he learned to navigate by the stars, and made it. He became a patriotic American citizen.
Being from Communist China often has the effect of making one very anti-communist. Maybe she was speaking the truth about his hog farm, and his only response was an ad hominem about her country of birth. Cheap shot, cheap evasion.
Thanks for sharing that. It’s true.
THAT is the impression I got.I figured it was another Dem Gov. who didn’t want to hear any criticism, so he tries to invalidate anything she might say by sticking an ugly label on her. When it comes to Communism and/or Socialism, it often takes a former Commie to know a wannabe Commie.
Just think what this nation could be working on and accomplishing today if we weren’t held back by the constant focus on race and hurt feelings and if we weren’t spending all our time and money on the national religion - created by drunkard Ted Kennedy - of diversity and multiculturalism, and hatred of our ancestors.
It’s like a wierd strange cult that took over our nation. Sort of like Scientology. Created by a totally evil wierdo ... Ted Kennedy - just like scientology. And any deviance from the religion of diversity is a heresy punishable by the state despite 1A.
1950s America was peak America, but the wierdo diversity cult destroyed it. And so here we are as a nation. Constantly bickering over race and reparations and set asides for certain groups and somebody got their feeligns hurt and HR training and reverse discrimination and media games of “gotcha” for saying something 20 years ago that wasn’t woke.... congrats, welcome to clown world. Thanks alot Ted.
Looks like a communists organization to you?

Good Heavens yes!

Yeah, they call them “microaggressions” because you have to be as sensitive as a flea to be offended by them. But being offended is a perfected art with Leftists today.
