Democratic State Rep. Gene Wu of Texas came under fire after racially charged comments he made in a December 2024 podcast resurfaced on social media.

“I think you’ve hit exactly the right point. And it’s not just Latinos. It’s not just Asians. It’s not just African Americans. It’s everybody. It’s everywhere,” Wu told Vargas in the interview, which took place nearly two months after the 2024 presidential election. “Our country—and the powers that be—have spent tremendous time, effort, and money to make sure those groups are never united, that they always see each other as enemies or competitors, without ever realizing that they share one thing in common: their oppressors are all the same.”

“The oppression comes from one place. 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,” said Wu, who also serves as chairman of the Democratic Caucus in the Texas House of Representatives. “Because we are the majority in this country now. We have the ability to take over this country and do what is needed for everyone and to make things fair. But the problem is our communities are divided. They’re completely divided.”
