Look at Dean Tran’s narcissistic whopper erasing the historic Dan Koh, Bopha Malone, and Beej Das campaigns in 2018.

“Apparently you can only achieve recognition as an Asian-Amerian if you’re a Republican.” Isn’t that right @massgop @JimLyonsMA ? #mapoli #ma3

"After a brief chase"

So, no 60 bullets to the back?!🙄🤦🏾‍♂️ Black folks run a stop sign and cops somehow can NEVER manage to capture POC alive. But when white folks massacre countless, they always somehow make it into custody safe and sound. Funny how that works! #BOSpoli #MApoli

BREAKING: 15 minutes ago, Robert Crimo was spotted by police. He fled from police. After a brief chase, he was stopped and arrested, police say. @cbschicago
