Congressman Krishnamoorthi Responds to Florida Politician's Remarks
Imagine a US Congressman named Raja.
He had an argument online with a politician from Florida, Chandler.
Chandler made mean comments, saying Raja's name was hard to say and treating him as an outsider, even referring to his origins as Tatooine.
Raja responded by telling Chandler that he was being racist.
Raja also spoke out against Chandler's comments about removing Indian immigrants.
Other politicians also spoke out against Langevin's comments.
It's like someone saying hurtful things just because someone is from a different place or has a different background.
Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi responded to remarks made by Florida politician Chandler Langevin on X.
Langevin, a Palm Bay City Council member, called Krishnamoorthi a 'foreign occupier'.
Langevin also called for the mass removal of Indian immigrants.
Krishnamoorthi responded by stating 'You can just call me Raja. I guess we can just call you… racist.'
Florida Republicans and other politicians distanced themselves from Langevin's comments.
