‘You sound like a Chinese communist!': John Olszewski blasts Kari Lake in fiery clash - The Economic Times Video
During a House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing on Wednesday, Rep. John Olszewski (D-MD) asked USAGM Kari Lake about Voice Of America. "The so-called beacon of Freedom, VOA, has now been discarded by its own government like a dirty rag." This is from the Chinese Communist Party's owned Global Times paper. The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman Mao Ning seems to agree with your characterization of VOA as, "A lie factory that stirs up conflict with a notorious track record in their China coverage." I guess my question to you, is it concerning, or should it be concerning to us as members of this committee, that you share the same opinion as a Chinese Communist government spokesperson?, Olszewski asked Kari Lake.
