Two Democratic California lawmakers threw their support behind Andrew Yang after he expressed disappointment over being left off the initial Democratic National Convention speaking lineup. Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) and Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) both took to Twitter to criticize the Democratic National Committee (DNC), which announced its initial lineup of keynote speakers on Tuesday morning. Yang, a former Democratic presidential candidate, was not among the list of speakers. Lieu addressed his post to the DNC and pointed out that Asian Americans are “the fastest increasing group in America, including in multiple swing states.” “The gross underrepresentation of Asian American speakers in the four days of the DNC Convention is tone deaf and a slap in the face,” the congressman posted.
