Let’s cut to the chase: Rae Huang, a candidate running for mayor of Los Angeles, took the maximum $1,800 in campaign cash from a man who called Jews a “demonic ethnicity.” That’s not a political difference. That’s a moral line crossed. And it wasn’t just a one-time rant. The donor, Michael Beyer, who streams under “Mike from PA,” was suspended last year for those exact words.
Look, I’ve been to town halls. I’ve sat through debates where candidates argue policy. But I’ve never seen a candidate accept money from someone who openly hates my people. Not once. Not in my 50 years of voting. I remember my father saying, “You don’t pick your friends based on what they say about others — you pick them based on what they do.” So ask yourself: What does it mean when a candidate says yes to this? And why is no one screaming?
Why This Isn’t “Just Politics”
Let that sink in. A candidate for city leader — someone who will shape schools, safety, and jobs — took money from a man who called Jews demonic. That’s not “free speech.” That’s not “dissent.” That’s hate. Plain and simple.
And it’s not like this is an isolated case. The New York Post reported this. The California Post confirmed it. No vague sources. No “some say.” Just facts. One donor. One candidate. One $1,800 check.
Think about it: If someone in your neighborhood said that about your family, would you hand them a check? Would you let them sit on your city council? I wouldn’t. Not for a second.
But here’s the kicker — it’s not just about one donor. It’s about the message it sends. When a candidate accepts money from someone like this, they’re saying: “This is okay. This is part of the conversation.” That’s not leadership. That’s surrender.
And don’t try to distract me with “other candidates” or “big issues.” We’re not talking about a debate on taxes or zoning. We’re talking about a man who called Jews demonic. That’s not a policy. That’s a threat.
So here’s my question for you: If your daughter or granddaughter walked into a city hall one day, would they feel safe? Or would they wonder if someone like that — someone who hates them — is in charge?
Bottom line: No one should have to vote for a candidate who sits on a check from someone who calls Jews demonic. Not in Los Angeles. Not in America.
What would you say if your neighbor did this? Drop your thoughts below. Let’s talk. Because this isn’t just about one candidate. It’s about what kind of country we’re building.
