Suspect Kevin William Walker has been arrested on suspicion of vandalizing several campaign signs for Dave Min, a Democratic candidate for Congress, in Huntington Beach, California. ⁠ ⁠ The Huntington Beach Police Department is investigating the incident as a potential hate crime as some signs were spray-painted with anti-Asian slurs. Min, the son of Korean immigrants, is running for the 47th Congressional District seat. He linked the vandalism to a rise in anti-Asian sentiment following a recent Donald Trump rally, attributing it to the xenophobia fueled by the MAGA movement. Min's opponent, Republican Scott Baugh, condemned the vandalism, while Huntington Beach Mayor Gracey Van Der Mark accused Min of “race baiting.”⁠ ⁠ ⁠ 🤳Comment “email” to sign up to our daily newsletter.⁠ ⁠ 📰Follow us for the latest Asian News NextShark⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #news #davemin #congressionalcampaign #huntingtonbeach #california #vandalism #antiasianhate #hatecrime #antiasianslurs
