OC Republican Defends Juneteenth Celebration From Some Conservative Firebrands
Asian-American business leader and outspoken Orange County, Calif., Republican Marc Ang is disappointed with the flak he has taken from some conservatives who say he shouldn’t have held an event celebrating Juneteenth.
The reaction from some voices on the right of the political spectrum opposing the Juneteenth celebration “really kind of broke my heart,” Ang said. “I got scathing emails from a lot of people … telling me what a wrong move I’m making,” he told The Epoch Times.
Heated conversations on social media over Juneteenth and its ties to controversial leftwing activist groups have left many Americans divided and some conservatives in a quandary over whether they should celebrate the historic event.
