Romney don’t you dare disrespect her and flip your hand in “blah blah” mode when she repeats that she loves this country. Tell it like it is auntie!

20 years of Reagan economics and trickle-down theory has only benefited the upper class, and thus, has helped make America a country with one of the highest incomes per capita (still, Mr. Romney, you should fact check.) In addition, GDP seems irrelevant to answering her question on the creation of new jobs.

Also, who’s asking you whether you like or dislike immigrants, or immigration, or legal immigration, or illegal immigration? How dare you even bring up the illegal immigration in your response in an attempt to undercut her statement. It’s not about how you “put Asians down” in your specific policy or speech, but how the economic, healthcare, education, and legal systems of the United States is set against those with the fewest resources; those who would benefit the most. This includes Asian immigrants and the working class. 

[oh, and regarding immigration, one last thing. In the infinite wisdom of Jessica Yee: “I didn’t cross the border, the border crossed me.”]

When Colbert played a sound effect of a stereotypical Chinese riff, Huntsman joked, “When’s the delivery food coming?” After a few seconds of awkward silence, Colbert replied, “Did that go over well in Beijing?” This portion of the interview was cut for time from the broadcast. “There was a gasp,” audience member Dana Cole told ABC News. “A little tasteless. No one really saw it coming. He got ahead of himself.
