Loretta Sanchez demonstrates once again that when it comes to racial sensitivity, Democrats subscribe relentlessly to the “Do as I say” philosophy. Sanchez also seems to have forgotten that lots of people speak Spanish. Worse yet, in a Spanish language interview Sanchez painted the Vietnamese in cahoots with the evil Republicans.
“The Vietnamese and the Republicans are, with an intensity, trying to take this seat from which we have done so much for our community — to take this seat and give it to this Van Tran, who is very anti-immigrant and very anti-Hispanic.”
Now for a moment of irony:
Tran, the Republican state assemblyman who’s running against Sanchez, is a Vietnamese-American. According to his campaign website, his family came to the United States in 1975, having been evacuated by the U.S. Army just before the fall of Saigon.
So Sanchez paints Tran, an immigrant, as anti-immigrant.
Tran found this language offensive:
Tran said he believes her statements will damage her standing in the Vietnamese community. In an interview, he characterized Sanchez’s remarks as a “racial rampage.”
After she discovered that some Americans could translate her remarks she offered a mild mea culpa:
As the situation escalated, Sanchez held a damage-control press conference Friday evening to say she “used a poor choice of words.”
But then she quickly reverted to being a Democrat and she blamed Tran for her stupidity:
Then she chided Tran for taking “a cheap political shot.”
Under pressure, Democrats quickly lose the little intelligence they have.

This is one of those, “Pay no attention to the [politician] behind the curtain” moments.
Go Tran Go! Wonder what Sanchez’s thoughts are on La Raza which is a Hispanic Marxist organization? Am sure Tran knows a whole lot more as to what it takes to keep a free Republic than Sanchez ever dreamed.
Is that two racists in a pod or what…
I would lay odds that behind closed doors Sanchez has uttered the word “gook” on more than one occasion.
Is she here legally?
Inquiring minds want to know.
@aceofwands
She was born in California.
Sanchez – Just another freaking anchor baby.
Thank You Dr. John…can’t be too careful now a days.
Translation: For Sanchez, it seems the only immigrants that count are Hispanic immigrants — and others foolish enough to vote for her. Dressing up in an ao dai and prancing around the Vietnamese neighborhood is patronizing and ridiculous, but it’s a lot easier than taking the time to learn their language and paying more than lip service to issues that concern them. I can only imagine how Hispanic immigrants would react if a non-Hispanic came to their neighborhood courting votes and wearing a sombrero without speaking a word of Spanish. They would be laughed — or driven –right out of the barrio. The Vietnamese have been way too polite toward this woman.
If we keep on going this way, we’ll end up with a representative for each immigrant group….what ever happened to the melting pot concept?
Isn’t Linda Sanchez the one who ‘won’ her seat by ballot stuffing of illegals?
This is no surprise. Sanchez has absolutely no moral compass. She holds sex parties at Hefner’s Playboy mansion for fundrasiers (google: loretta sanchez playboy). She seduces married Army officers assigned to escort her on official trips (google: loretta sanchez einwechter). She has had multiple adultery sex scandals over the years (google: loretta sanchez scandal). And now she tries to incite a race war in her own district as a desperate ploy for Latino votes.
If she was Republican and practiced Witchcraft in highschool we wouldn’t hear the end of how, “Crazy” she is by the media. Pardon me as I headbutt my keyboard out of this sickening irony.
It will be a good day when both the Sanchez sisters are out of the House (sister Linda is in my district, CA 37).
I lived in Orange County for years, the Vietnamese are very conservative… I can’t imagine many voting for Loretta Sanchez
They work hard, don’t want a handout, mistrust statism -since many of them escaped communists on a raft and had their relatives and friends killed by them- and the love capitalism…
It’s funny when it’s so obviously the lib platform that’s being rejected… suddenly it’s something racial, maybe she forgot she wasn’t guilt tripping white people this time… idiot lol
Jack Einwechter, I am more disappointed in you than words can describe.
