Rep. Andy Kim, D-N.J., slammed a Trump delegate for accusing him of wearing the North Korean flag on his tie during a New Jersey Senate debate this week. “Why is US Senate candidate Andy Kim wearing a North Korea flag on his tie tonight?” the delegate, Mike Crispi, wrote on X about Kim’s matchup Tuesday against Republican opponent Curtis Bashaw. … Why didn’t you wear an American flag tie?” Crispi said in the video, adding that the pattern resembled the North Korean and Costa Rican flags. “If elected, I’ll be first Korean American senator after 120 years of Koreans in America,” Kim wrote on social media. “Dear MAGA @MikeCrispi: That is not the North Korean flag,” Lieu wrote.

Rep. George Santos compared himself to civil rights icon Rosa Parks during a podcast appearance. Santos was referring to comments made by Sen. Mitt Romney during the SOTU address in February. In the interview, Santos took aim at what he called "sellout" Republicans, singling out Sen. Mitt Romney in particular. He continued: "Well, guess what, Rosa Parks didn't sit in the back, and neither am I going to sit in the back." Her act of resistance against racial segregation inspired the Montgomery bus boycott — a 13-month protest that played a significant role in the fight for civil rights for Black people.
