Ro Khanna reveals an ideology seemingly known by his funders, but maybe not the voters #CA17
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2016/8/21/1562315/-Ro-Khanna-reveals-an-ideology-seemingly-known-by-his-funders-but-maybe-not-the-voters-CA17Ro Khanna just can’t seem to stay away from the right-wing extremists. Whether it is Trump-delegate Peter Thiel, homophobic sexual-harasser Ernie Konnyu, the Tea Party Express, or Stephen Schwarzman, he is always “happy” to have their support. And the right-wingers, hedge-fund billionaires and lobbyists reward him by funding his campaign with over half-a-million dollars in the first three quarters alone. No wonder Ro was invited and agreed to speak at a Koch funded conference last year.
And now he’s aligned himself with Ivanka Trump, Bob Huff (R-SD29), Edward Blum (the stockbroker credited with using the John Roberts’ Supreme Court to overturn the Voter Rights Act and Affirmative Action), and the extremist opponents of Rob Bonta’s AHEAD Act (AB 1726).
California Assemblyman Bonta’s AB1726 would help to better understand and serve the health and educational needs of California’s large and diverse Asian-American community by disaggregating data already collected. The bill would require California’s pubic health agencies and university system to further breakdown the data matching the standards used by the Federal Census Bureau....
It is shocking to find a self-proclaimed progressive aligning with so many that are diametrically opposed to progressive ideologies. But that is exactly where Ro Khanna put himself when he sided with the extremist opponents of AB1726. Propagandized by Huff and Blum, the protesters fear the disaggregating of data already collected will lead to discrimination, internment or worse. Language and imagery used by AB1726’s opponents often reference the Holocaust such as the graphic depicting “AB1726” in a yellow Star of David, as used by the Nazis to identify Jews during the Holocaust.
