[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has she explained what she meant by “when Iwo Jima unfortunately happened” because seeing the clip it seems like she mispoke, maybe meaning to reference something else? Or she somehow thinks Iwo Jima was an event related to internment[/quote]

Given her context of Japanese Remembrance Day, I think it’s clear she meant Hiroshima.[/quote]

[b]She was contacted by the media and given an opportunity to say she misspoke. To the contrary she doubled down on her prior comments and did not disavow them.[/b]

Look, I get that she’s become a huge embarrassment for the local Democrats, who gave her a platform to insult and offend so many in the county, but wishing away her offensive remarks is not going to help.  You just need to make sure other candidates seeking an FCDC endorsement get a fair shake this year, in which case she like won’t get endorsed again.  And if she does you’ve got a bigger problem.

Can you provide a link to this media source so we can all decide for ourselves if she really “doubled down.” Thanks. [/quote]
