Chinese immigrant and congressional candidate Lily Tang Williams had one question for gun control activist David Hogg.

“Welcome to my ‘Live Free or Die’ state. Actually, I am a Chinese immigrant who survived communism. And under Mao, you know, 40 million people were starving to death after he sold communism to them. And 20 million people died, murdered during his Cultural Revolution,” Williams said.

“So my question to you, David, is that can you guarantee me, a gun owner tonight, our government in the U.S., in D.C., will never, never become a tyrannical government? Can you guarantee that to me?” she asked.

“There’s no way I can ever guarantee that any government will not be tyrannical,” Hogg replied.

“Well, then the debate on gun control is over because I will never give up my guns. Never. Never. And you should go to China to see how gun control works for the dictatorship of the CCP,” Williams said.

Lily Tang Williams is running for Congress in New Hampshire’s 2nd Congressional District.

“I am Lily Tang Williams. I was born in China to illiterate working-class parents, suffered under Mao’s Cultural Revolution and Communist dictatorship. I wanted freedom. America was my promised land. I was 23 when I fled tyranny. Arriving with $100 in my pocket and knowing very little English. I worked hard to make my American dream come true. Today I am happily married with three children, have my own businesses, and live in the Granite State where the spirit of liberty resides. My concern is that my children and grandchildren will not have the same opportunities I had,” Williams writes.

“I see the shadow of authoritarianism cast by politicians who have locked us down, closed small businesses, inflated our money, and mortgaged our children’s future. I saw it all before in China: the division of society, silencing dissident voices, taking away parental rights, the indoctrination of youth, endless government mandates and control. People are losing their rights to make a living and make their own life choices. Are you worried yet? I am. I fear that the country I love is becoming like the country I left. That is why I am running for Congress. It is time for the majority to speak up and defend our country from the radical left and keep the American Dream alive for our children,” she continued.

The Daily Wire reports:

Another Chinese immigrant who has spoken out against communists, Xi Van Fleet, responded to the viral clip on social media by writing: “David Hogg you need to learn some real history from survivors of Communism.”

Williams later responded to the clip, writing on X: “I love to see more open discussions & debates on our college campuses. Even though I disagree with David, but we shook hands at the end respectfully. I urge him to do some research on Mao’s Red Guards. I am hoping someday, he will get it.”
