发帖数: 268 | 1 State Rep. Bettie Cook Scott apologized in a statement issued Thursday after
liberal advocacy group Progress Michigan revealed this week that Scott
referred to state Rep. Stephanie Chang as a “ching-chong” and told voters
at precincts during the Aug. 7 primary that she was disgusted “seeing Black
people holding signs for these Asians and not supporting their own people."
Scott and Chang, both from Detroit, were two of six Democratic candidates
running for state Senate District 1. Chang won the primary race with nearly
50 percent of the vote.
Those are not the kinds of comments that should be made nor are they the
kind of comments I would normally make,” Scott said in a statement issued
through her lawyer Bill Noakes on Thursday. “I humbly apologize to Rep.
Chang and to her husband, Mr. Gray, and to the broader Asian American
community. | u***n
