Rep. Jared Moskowitz, D-Fla., received backlash Monday for a now-deleted post on X that some said perpetuated racist stereotypes about Asians.
Rep. Jared Moskowitz, D-Fla., found himself in hot water Monday after he was accused of perpetuating a racist stereotype about Asians in a now-deleted post on X. The post had been in response to a CBS Mornings’ interview with South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem, discussing her request to remove an excerpt from her forthcoming book, 'No Going Back,' about supposedly meeting North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
Weighing in on the controversy, Moskowitz responded in a post on X: 'Why am I getting the feeling that she wanted to eat dog with Kim Jong Un.' Moskowitz deleted the post after some backlash. Politico reporter Nicholas Wu wrote that Moskowitz’s tweet used a stereotype about Asians and dogs. In response, Moskowitz wrote that he had 'tremendous respect for Nick as a fantastic journalist.' 'I made a joke about 2 specific people. No one else,' Moskowitz wrote.
Fox News Digital reached out to the offices of Noem and Moskowitz for further comment.
