REP. LIEU STATEMENT IN RESPONSE TO RACIST SEGMENT ON THE O'REILLY FACTOR

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Washington - Today, Congressman Ted W. Lieu (D | Los Angeles County) issued the following statement in response to the racist segment on Asian Americans featured on the O'Reilly Factor.

"Note to Bill O'Reilly and Fox News: Your recent segment mocking Asian American voters and using every conceivable stereotype was, at best, racist and, at worst, really racist. I am not "patient" or "gentle" nor do I "bow" when I say hello or know "karate." So let me gently say this: if you are not racist at heart, then you would apologize. Immediately."
