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.

Facebook blocks California candidate’s video for discussing her parents suffering through communist genocide in Cambodia
August 6, 2018 by Alberto de la Cruz   


There are a lot of things Facebook doesn’t want you talking about on their platform and you can add another item to the list. It seems talking about your family’s suffering through the genocide of the communist Kmer Rouge dictatorship in Cambodia is a deal breaker for Facebook.

One can only wonder if talking about the unspeakable atrocities and crimes committed against humanity by Cuba’s communist Castro dictatorship will soon be added to that list as well.

Jack Fowler in National Review:

    Heng Gets Facebook Blocked

    Elizabeth Heng nearly beat incumbent Democratic congressman Jim Costa in California’s open primaries in early June. The 53–47 outcome would have made her the darling of the national political media, had she been a Democrat. She will face Costa again in the general election in November. My colleague Alexandra DeSanctis wrote an excellent piece last month profiling the young, smart, 33-year-old Republican contender.

So, facebook blocks the video because it's graphic it seems.

If the guy is RINO then that's still a step up from Sheldon Whitehouse.

By Valerie Richardson - The Washington Times - Monday, August 6, 2018
There’s nothing profane, obscene or derogatory in the biographical campaign ad run by GOP House candidate Elizabeth Heng, but Facebook blocked it anyway over scenes of the Cambodian genocide, which her parents survived.

That was Friday, and a Heng spokeswoman said Monday that Facebook had yet to lift the ban, despite the rising tide of indignation on the right.

Ms. Heng attributed Facebook’s decision to revoke the ad, which was posted May 30, on anti-GOP bias, saying, “We’ve seen it over and over again with Republican candidates and organizations.”

House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, also a California Republican, weighed in Monday by calling on the social media giant to #StopTheBias, saying, “Her family survived the Communist genocide in Cambodia and came to America. Now Facebook is blocking her story.”

And this right here is why Fakebook is dying. It's a fraud and everyone knows it.
