Exposed for representing alleged rapist, not being fluent in Vietnamese as he and DCCC have spun to anyone who would listen
Garden Grove, CA – Derek Tran’s candidacy is based on lies.
In fact, it’s a disturbing pattern and the last two weeks have seen some of the most explosive examples yet of how Tran is attempting to lie his way into Congress.
What’s worse is he’s not being held to account for his deception.
In the last two weeks, reporter Jake Lahut, Fox News, and the Orange County Register uncovered that despite claiming he went into law to help sexual harassment survivors, Tran voluntarily and proactively helped an alleged rapist sue his employer after he was fired. Tran designed a legal theory saying it was the “Me Too” movement that got his client fired…not the fact that three women accused his client of sexually harassing them.
Yesterday, the New York Post uncovered damning video that proves Tran, who claims he speaks fluent Vietnamese, actually cannot speak Vietnamese fluently.
The video shows Tran unable to comprehend a Vietnamese reporter’s questions and desperately turns to an interpreter on several questions for help.
As a reminder:
- Tran scrubbed his law firm website showing he is a trial lawyer.
- Poll tested multiple job titles that were not trial attorney, now claiming he’s some “consumer advocate”
- Deleted but refused to apologize for a post of a gun pointed at Michelle Steel’s head.
- Deceived media by releasing a sham poll that didn’t include the fact that Trump is leading in CA-45.
- Reposts and then deletes his endorsement by the radical MoveOn.org.
“For everyone inside the Beltway who continues entertaining the DCCC’s spin that Derek Tran is some kind of star recruit, the last two weeks of stories uncovering his lies should be a wake-up call,” said Steel Spokesperson Lance Trover. “Claiming you are running to support women while having voluntarily represented an alleged rapist on top of lying about speaking Vietnamese in this district are borderline disqualifying with voters, as they should be.”
