Breaking barriers straight into federal prison.

[jessesalinas]

The FBI just Raided her home.

Gives "Breaking Barriers" a new meaning. 😂

[KisekwaTV]

Imagine pretending like nothing happened between the two hosts 😂

[Nitedawg]

What the hell barriers are there? Being a minority is a spring board not a barrier; especially in politics, especially in California. Your minority status is a status symbol, not an impediment, taking precedence even over whether you are qualified or not.

[DJStyles]

We need you guys to come back and do an exposé on how she is the first Hmong mayor to be raided by the FBI and IRS. She has brought shame to the international Hmong community. Oakland is recalling her.

She was supposed to provide safety and address homelessness but she hasn’t. She just needs the position to pay the bills.

Sheng Thao and Sunisa Lee, two great Hmong American women! Someone like her
makes me think maybe its not all hatred and nastiness in American politics. Reason to hope!

[kpepperl]

Congratulations 🎉
I really hope other government officials are willing to keep an open mind and cooperate to solve these issues.

"I must admit I did it for the money" she's still doing it for the money.. 😂

[starshaped]

She was my 1st choice in our ranked voting. Congratulations on your win!

At this point, I'm just waiting for a guest, perhaps it's going to take a comedian to call these hosts out. Congratulations mayor elect. I like the vision but everyone wants to handle homelessness, etc., but it just seems like it's getting worse.

[rsh]

Just not the kind they thought she'd be breaking!

[americanandpunjabilifevlog]

Congratulations 🎊🎈 🎉
Like your energy, wish you best of luck in making positive changes.

[hmongtoyota]

It’s a time for you to doing something good for your country and your city. And not your city and your country do for you, Amen

[Augslife]

Three people who will go on to have very big scandals all in the same room! 😂😅

[Marcia-kg]

She is so young and immature. She claims she was poe as her family were immigrants. Shoot most all of our families were immigrants. As an immirant she did receive schooling housing medical care and food. Cheng Sheng Thao you can crockadile your tears all the way to incarceration.

[okayimbackwhateverjones]

Oh she's going to kill it. WELCOME TO OAKLAND!!!

I used to love Mainstream Media but all they do now is pander. They use to give us the news but now it’s all about forming opinions. Over 5 million subscribers and under 500 hundred likes speaks for itself

[MissionJW]

God bless her. I feel the devil whether she is guilty or not is trying to take one. I hope they lose. I see some shady looks
