Glad to be a cosponsor of @RepMarkGreen’s excellent resolution condemning #Antifa for its violent acts last year. It is alarming to see a lawless group using threats and violence to stifle speech…
Why is @CalPERS critical of the Jewish state but quiet on the human right abuses in China? @CaliforniaGlobe https://t.co/jXJUPQryzh
There were two fundamental questions raised in my letter to @GavinNewsom you neglected to answer. First question: Is Mr. Meng a member of the Chinese Thousand Talents Program, something the FBI called a ‘non-traditional espionage program?’
Second question: Since Meng came back as Chief Investment Officer of CalPERS, has CalPERS invested in companies that are affiliated with the Chinese People’s Liberation Army?
In addition to these questions, I’d like clarification from Mr. Meng about what he meant when he said his ‘roots were in China,’ and why he said that if he got ‘an opportunity to serve the motherland, such responsibility and honor cannot be compared to anything.’
I look forward to hearing @CalPERS address these national security concerns.
Hey @CAlpers, I understand this is a PR nightmare for you, but you’re not addressing the facts ... QT @CalPERS: (1/3) Letter from CalPERS CEO Marcie Frost to Congressman James Banks (@Jim_Banks) regarding false accusations mad… https://t.co/L5BjmOK12v)
Ah yes, good point on @NPR. Their new CEO formerly ran @VOANews but had to leave after a scandal where he fired 5 award-winning journalists -- one who witnessed Tiananmen Square massacre -- because they spoke with a Chinese whistleblower and Beijing got mad. QT @nkellyatJG: Happens here in US too. Most recent example being @NPR)
@nkellyatJG @NPR Ah yes, @NPR. Their new CEO formerly ran @VOANews but had to leave after a scandal where he fired 5 award-winning journalists -- one who witnessed Tiananmen Square massacre -- because they interviewed a Chinese dissident and Beijing got mad. Is that what you're referring to Niki?

Rosneft, a Russian oligarch controlled firm, shipped millions of oil barrels out of Venezuela, evading US sanctions & letting Maduro cling to power. Glad @realdonaldtrump is holding Rosneft to account for its complicity in the oppression of Venezuelans https://t.co/7QYUcDxD9K
CA's CalPERS CIO Yu Ben Meng is a gradate of something @FBI calls "a non-traditional espionage" program, and he's quoted in a Chinese-language newspaper saying he has "roots in China" and feels a sense of "honor and responsibility" to "serve the motherland." https://t.co/EkYN7u3vq7
Congratulations on making history, Lisa Hershman! Lisa is now the highest ranking woman serving at the Pentagon. More importantly, she’s a Hoosier! Official White House Photo by Andrea Hanks. https://t.co/2nzOYZURd1
The #CCP now has the drivers licenses, SSNs, or birth date, etc. of nearly 1/2 of the US. This data can/will be fed to China's A.I. Terrifying. The U.S. has never dealt w/ such ruthless techno-authoritarianism. Cyber-sec more important now than ever. https://t.co/oitJSkSWgL
"The factory’s owner, hopes for better relations between Tehran and the U.S. 'I hope there is a day that the flags we produce are presented as a gift,' he told AP." Very telling. The Iranian people are being held hostage by a murderous, hateful regime. https://t.co/BnIJJQQKN0

During the impeachment trial, Dems appealed to the supposed “national-security risk” posed by a Trump presidency. This admins' record build-up of our military exposes that talking point for what it is—a disingenuous smear. My latest from @FoxNews https://t.co/ac7vy8ljnF
.@SenRandPaul’s question was the most important asked yesterday -- the so-called whistleblower is a political operative who was intent on finding ways to destroy this president, and he coordinated with Rep. Schiff and his committee to bring about this impeachment hoax. @LouDobbs https://t.co/xXkgQWhbWx
