Michelle Steel (R.).<\/p>\n<p>At an April 7 campaign event, Democrat Jay Chen joked about how difficult it is to understand Steel.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;She just had another town hall the other day. And it&#8217;s tough. Like, we&#8217;ve transcribed it,&#8221; Chen, who is the son of Taiwanese immigrants, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=pfaxFWOdigE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said<\/a>. &#8220;You kind of need an interpreter to figure out exactly what she&#8217;s saying. The more she speaks, the better for us.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Steel moved to the United States as a young adult and speaks English as her third language, after Korean and Japanese.<\/p>\n<p>The Steel campaign slammed Chen&#8217;s &#8220;despicable, racist comments&#8221; in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/california-dem-appears-mock-rep-steel-accent-interpreter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">statement<\/a>\u00a0to Fox News. The campaign also cited a <em>Washington Free Beacon<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/democrats\/meet-the-ca-dem-who-invited-the-ccp-into-his-local-classrooms\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">report<\/a> detailing Chen&#8217;s record of working to bring the Chinese Communist Party-sponsored Confucius Classroom program to California schools when he was a school board member.<\/p>\n<p>House minority leader Kevin McCarthy (R., Calif.) told Fox News the Democratic Party should disavow Chen over his remarks.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee needs to immediately disavow and remove Jay Chen from their \u2018Red to Blue&#8217; program in light of his racist attack on Rep. Michelle Steel,&#8221; McCarthy said. &#8220;Disgraceful remarks like those uttered by Jay Chen have no place in our nation&#8217;s political discourse and the DCCC must act unless they approve of these racist remarks.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A California Democratic House candidate is under fire after he appeared to mock the accent of his Korean-born opponent, Rep.
