If you’re hearing the name “Young Kim” for the first time today, you’re not the only one. Indeed, in a world where the media will hype the identity of a political candidate so long as they check the right identity boxes (female, gay, transgender, Muslim, black, etc.), they are mysteriously silent about Kim, who is now the first Korean-American woman elected to Congress. Why? Because she’s a Republican, of course!
When Democrats talk about the need to “elect more women,” “elect more people of color,” or “elect more *insert identity here*,” they’re really just saying “elect more Democrats.” After all, the same Democrats who called Republicans racist for not supporting Barack Obama didn’t then turn around support the candidacies of Herman Cain or Ben Carson, did they? Of course not.
Republican Young Kim becomes first Korean-American woman elected to Congress
Not only did Young Kim win her election last night to become the first Korean-American woman member of Congress, she also won in a Clinton-friendly district.
One of the few places to profile Kim was the Los Angeles Times, which noted in October that she was running in a district that was losing Republican support:
“[There’s] been eroding Republican support for decades in the 39th Congressional District, where roughly two-thirds of residents are either Asian or Latino and immigrants make up about a third of the population. But in this year’s tough midterm election, likely to be a referendum on Donald Trump’s divisive presidency, Kim will be forced to stitch together a majority out of disparate factions: die-hard Trump supporters, Trump-averse minorities and affluent suburban women.”
And despite all those challenges, she won, but don’t expect to see any inspirational media coverage over the struggles Kim overcame. That would dispel the narrative of “racist” or “anti-immigrant” Republicans – the media’s favorite narrative.
An historic election cycle for women – and Republican women are ignored
A record number of women ran for Congress this election, but the only ones you ever heard of are liberals. The website VICE started a series called “She’s Running” to document some of these candidacies, and every single one they profiled was a Democrat, naturally.
The left-wing publication Now This published a compilation of all the victories by women and minorities in their races. The only Republican they included on the list was Marsha Blackburn, perhaps because it would be hard to get away with excluding such a high-profile woman from their list. Kim however, was missing entirely from the list.

Depressing, isn’t it? The media will adore a clueless socialist like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for being young and a woman, but for Young Kim, the (R) next to her name makes her invisible.
And yes, I sure did see her mentioned in the MSM. You only see what you expect to see.
Nobody expects her to represent women. She’s just another female Republican, probably anti-choice.
First of all, welcome to the US system of Democracy, I truly hope you are treated well. Being the first Korean-American woman in Congress, you will be challenged, but I assure you that as a Republican you will have support. If there is anything I can do for you, like making phone calls, writing letters or prayers, I will be reliable in holding you up! There’s an old Bible Story where Moses was too weak to raise his arms above his head so Aaron and Hur had to hold his arms up. When his arms were down Israel was losing the battle, but when his arms were held up, they were winning. Trust God for whatever the outcome and just do your best. Exodus 17:11 and on. It’s important to note that accepting the help of others is also a Godly thing. Welcome it and keep you arms up!!
To the MSM and other liberal alleged minds any Democrat minority candidate is the ideal representative of that minority and is fully qualified to perform the duties of office regardless of ability or experience; any Republican minority candidate is a disgrace and has betrayed that minority. While this is especially true of the exalted, more equal minorities, it does apply to Korean-Americans, even women.
Cortez’ bragging rights may not be limited to being the youngest woman elected – she may indeed be the dumbest one too.
Why are these states voting muslims into our government? Are people really this ignorant?
“The left and the media…”
But you repeat yourself.
The left and the media are all one sided. And there followers must feel the same way according to the election results. They have never produced any meaning full results. There followers never wake up.
Cortez is literally insane as far as I can tell.
The caption should read she is the first overtly crazy person to be elected to Congress.
I was on a site that claimed to be not about politics then posted a black teacher, no one disputes his race and a student (who was either white, or Latino) began insulting the teacher with racist epithets. I called attention to it. The monitor a foreign Tory did not want to admit he had permitted an obvious example of racial politics on the site during the election week a very inflammatory video.
The teacher pummeled the kid in what liberals in the past defended as black rage and put the student in the hospital. I mentioned this incident was clearly the result of heightened tensions created by the DNCs policies of racist politics. They simply believe that if you ban people for noting the obvious political impact on students that makes it not political.
Asians are not considered disadvantaged minorities for the most part in this country especially by Democrats and their propagandists in mass media . This is another example of racial profiling by a racist and bigoted media that ignores Farrakhan’s trip to Iran and his overt expression of hate both for America and Jews. And unlike President Trump Farrakhan’s racist bigotry is endorsed by the DNC President Trump condemns all hate groups always has. What would the DNC be without them?
Since the main stream media ignores us maybe it’s time to turn the tables. Make it a mission to shut them down 100%. Spread the word any way you can go turn them off. If more people talked to each other instead of watching lies from the tv and internet we may get a few more people on our side. Remember not all people listen on party lines. Try to convince all that the media is nothing more than a propaganda machine. They may start listening to the real information and making better choices.
By now, if you don’t know the mainstream media is nothing more than the propaganda machine for the democrats, you aren’t politically educated whether you’re a PHD, college graduate or high school drop-out.
That cortez woman needs a high school course in civics, American history, and something concerning how our congress works. What a dunce!
Young Republican WH staffer wrestles mike from Acosta. is big headline today. Why is the deliberate use of cognitive dissonance and their aim of confusion acceptable?. Try reading The Deliberate Dumbing Down of America by Charlotte Johnson Iserbyt. Well researched and documented Not a conspiracy theory Government documents and Globalist DNC agenda. Uneducated are easier to rule. This I’m sure has been suppressed. or watch IDIOCRACY same result but satire or tradegy? I’m not sure.
Half truths is how the pro-democrat media publishes the news.
poppDavid – Trump stumped for Senate candidates. It would be impossible for one person to stump for all the House Republicans as they are up for re-election every two years and Republicans had 240 of them.
Stop being a jerk! This is about a website and a Publication which lean left and purposely ignored her because she doesn’t meet “their criteria” to be recognized. If a right leaning website or publication had the audacity to leave out a Democrat in similar articles written, you can bet your bottom dollar they would get slammed by the Left as being any one of a list of things: “Racist”, “Sexist”, “Homophobic”. “Xenophobic”…
Well I don’t have to spell it out for you…Hiliary Clinton did it for you when she called half the country “Deplorables” – Remember that, do ya? Then she has the GALL to write a book entitled “What Happened?”
We know what happened – in addition to all her lousy policies and lies, she topped it off by INSULTING HALF THE ELECTORATE IN THIS COUNTRY! WHY WOULD WE VOTE FOR HER?
Wait, you are ignoring all of the media attention she got when Trump stumped for her. Or when he mentioned her in his speeches.
Oh, wait. Trump didn’t mention her before the election either. And he is a Republican.
Vernier – You are absolutely right! (No pun intended!)
Depressing, isn’t it? The media will adore a clueless socialist like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for being young and a woman, but for Young Kim, the (R) next to her name makes her invisible.
That says more about the status of Our Country than any other statement. There is way too much “say one thing” and “do something else”. We hear so much that we need more women in government but if they are Republican they are counted along with the men. We need to quit electing people because of who they say they are and what they can do to get your vote. We need to elect people who want to MAGA like Trump. You may not like the way he says things but listen to what he says he will do and he does it. When have we had a president that has done as much to bring Our Country out of a hole as he has already done in two years? The only ones that have done more in two years was to dig the hole deeper.
Davison – Just give Ocasio-Cortez-Cortez a few months or years in Congress and you can add her to what you call the “Maxipad Peloooosi” List which I agree with Owlafaye should also include the old bat Dianne Feinstein! They’re all cut from the same cloth!
What about Diane Feinstein?…she gets around on a steady series of 7000 volt shocks and sleeps in a coffin at night. She should be mentioned.
Nahhhhh. That distinction belongs to Maxipad and Peloooosi. Combined IQ that registers nowhere. She may be dumb but Ocasio-Cortez is at least easy to look at.
