After John noted the suppression of Elizabeth Heng’s Facebook ad for her congressional campaign yesterday (video embedded below), Victor Davis Hanson wrote us to enlist the support of Power Line readers for Ms. Heng. Alexandra DeSanctis profiled her here for NR and Jack Fowler updated the story with the Facebook angle yesterday here. Heng’s campaign site is here; contribute to her campaign here. Dr. Hanson writes:
Elizabeth Heng is the Republican challenger seeking to represent California’s 16th congressional district. She just had a Facebook ad blocked, apparently because the genocide practiced by the former communist regime of Cambodia is either considered too controversial or hurtful to read about. The ad touches on her family’s nightmarish escape from the Cambodian Holocaust. It must be unacceptably dissonant with the current mania for socialism sweeping the Democratic Party.
In California’s June 2018 primary Heng came within a few thousand votes of beating the well-funded 7-term incumbent congressman Jim Costa in a district that went heavily for Hillary Clinton in 2016. The 16th congressional district is considered a safe blue seat in the usual midterm election surveys. So her stunning near primary win against overwhelming odds should have been a national wake-up story for lots of reasons. Yet only National Review (kudos to Alexandra DeSanctis and the indomitable Jack Fowler) has sought to give Heng the national attention she deserves given her unique background, profile, and qualifications.

Forty years ago, I started making the shift from liberalism to conservatism because I knew something very wrong was happening in Cambodia, and leftists were denying it. Are they still trying to hide the Pol Pot terror now?
I’m thinking Fakebook should be classified as a Democrat lobbyist.
Elizabeth Heng need support.
I'm in.
