A sad Trumpist campaign stunt that damages US/RoK relations aside from showing the failure of Trump’s trade policies.

Tori Branum said she has been inundated with criticism online, accused of jeopardizing multibillion-dollar deals with Korea and that even her underage children were being subjected to cyberstalking.



A former Marine marksmanship instructor, Branum is registered as a Republican candidate in Georgia’s 12th Congressional District for next year’s midterm elections. She is known as a staunch supporter of U.S. President Donald Trump.



"Interesting how this works: I stand up for American workers and expose dangerous conditions that could’ve cost lives, and suddenly my phone is blowing up," she wrote on Facebook Sunday. "I’ve been 'signed up' for anti-racism courses, volunteered as a sponsor for an LGBTQ parade, and even invited to a Mormon baptism. Looks like somebody got ahold of my number. Nice try. I’m not backing down."

In an interview published Friday in Rolling Stone, Branum said she had reported the plant to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) over claims that it was not hiring local Georgia residents.
