'I find that offensive as an Asian American myself,' Krishnamoorthi said.
WASHINGTON -- The leaders of a new House select committee on China defended Democratic Rep. Judy Chu on Sunday, saying it was abhorrent and unacceptable for a GOP lawmaker to question her loyalty to the United States based on her Chinese heritage.
Wisconsin Rep. Mike Gallagher, the Republican chair of the China panel who appeared Sunday with Krishnamoorthi on CBS'"Face the Nation," said Gooden was out of line. In a Fox News interview last week, Gooden criticized Chu for her defense of Biden economic appointee Dominic Ng, who the president named to the business advisory council of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation. Gooden questioned either Chu's"loyalty or competence." He also suggested that Chu, a California Democrat, should not have a security clearance or access to classified briefings.
