Advertisement during the September 2019 Democratic presidential debate

Jan. 1, 1900

A political advertisement which Heng's New Faces GOP political action committee produced and Heng narrated aired during the September 2019 Democratic presidential debate on ABC. The ad depicts Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and images of the Cambodian Civil War. In the ad, Heng says, "Does Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez know the horrors of socialism? My father was minutes from death in Cambodia before a forced marriage saved his life. That’s socialism: Forced obedience. Starvation. Mine is a face of freedom. My skin is not white. I’m not outrageous, racist, nor socialist. I’m a Republican." After the ad aired, Ocasio-Cortez tweeted, "Republicans are running TV ads setting pictures of me on fire to convince people they aren't racist. Life is weird! Know that this wasn't an ad for young conservatives of color - that was the premise. What you just watched was a love letter to the GOP's white supremacist case." Heng tweeted in response, "Not Republicans. Me. Are you really calling me a racist @aoc? I’m calling all Democrats out for supporting an evil ideology. Or are you just in Congress to hang out with celebrities and tweet out ridiculous ideas like the green new deal?" Watch the ad below: "New Faces GOP" - New Faces GOP ad, released September 12, 2019

Facebook rejection of campaign advertisement

Jan. 1, 1900

On August 3, 2018, Facebook rejected one of Elizabeth Heng's campaign ads that featured video content about how the Cambodian genocide affected her family. Facebook said the ad did not follow the company's advertisement guidelines. The rejection notice also said, "We don't allow ads that contain shocking, disrespectful or sensational content, including ads that depict violence or threats of violence. Facebook did not note what specific content of the ad violated guidelines. Heng said, "It is unbelievable that Facebook could have such blatant disregard for the history that so many people, including my own parents, have lived through. I’m sure it is shocking for some people to hear about this kind of injustice, but this is reality." After five days, Facebook reversed its decision and restored the video, finding that the ad's content used historical imagery in a biographical context.
