USA: An anti-white racism could lead to civil war – Democrat says non-whites should 'take over this country'

A clip from the podcast episode was posted on Saturday by the popular right-wing account End Wokeness, and it has gone viral

On Saturday, the popular right-wing account End Wokeness posted a clip from the podcast, in which Wu made a controversial statement about how non-white people in the US are now the majority and are in a position to 'take over this country,' ‘The Daily Mail’ reports.

The clip begins with Wu, who was born in China, saying, 'I always tell people, the day the Latino, African American, Asian and other communities realize that they share the same oppressor, is the day we start winning.'

'Because we are the majority in this country now,' the congressman continued.

'We have the ability to take over this country and to do what is needed for everyone, and to make things fair, but the problem is our communities are divided - they're completely divided.'

The account captioned the clip: 'Rep. Gene Wu (D) goes mask off: "Non-whites share the same oppressor and we are the majority now. We can take over this country."'

On Sunday, the account replied to its own viral post and wrote: 'More condemnations from the GOP over a Lion King meme than this.'

That was in reference to a meme posted Thursday night on President Trump's X account, in which the faces of former President Obama and First Lady Michelle were superimposed onto apes.

The post was widely criticized as racist by people on both sides of the aisle, and it was deleted on Friday.

The clip of Wu has received more than seven million views, 27,000 likes and nearly 5,000 responses in less than 24 hours.

'Why would you immigrate to USA to be oppressed?' one user wrote.

'Uh huh SO SICK & TIRED of this race baiting CR@P,' another user.

'I’m still trying to figure out why Democrats are so obsessed with race,' a third user wrote.

'Finally saying the quiet part out loud. This isn't about equality, it's about a hostile takeover. If any other group said this, they'd be forced to resign immediately,' a fourth user began.

'Absolutely disgusting that a sitting representative thinks it's okay to openly talk about "oppressing" half the country,' the user's post concluded.

Wu was born in China, and his family settled in Texas two years later. He represents Texas State House District 137, which is in the Houston metropolitan area, and he has served in the position since 2013.

In August, Texas Governor Greg Abbott asked the state's Supreme Court to have Wu's seat declared vacant, as he led the 50 quorum-breaking Democratic House members who fled the state to delay a vote on new congressional maps.

Wu argued that his actions were in line with his constitutional oath to prevent what he called a 'racist gerrymandered map' and argued that only the state House has the power to remove a sitting representative, not the governor or courts.

Ultimately, Wu and the other House members who left the state returned to Texas, and the redrawn map was passed into law, ending the immediate threat of forced vacancy.
