CEO of Sriracha-Maker Huy Fong Foods Compares California to Communist Vietnam

[alp227]

Sriracha’s ongoing war with the city of Irwindale, California keeps getting more and more bizarre. The latest shot fired comes from Huy Fong Foods CEO David Tran, who has compared California to Communist Vietnam.

Tran spoke about how he escaped communist Vietnam decades ago to live a better life in the US and added, “Today, I feel almost the same. Even now, we live in [the] USA, and my feeling, the government, not a big difference.”

Sure, the Irwindale City Council has gone out of their way to repeatedly try to shut the Sriracha factory down, even declaring it a “public nuisance” last month, but that seems better than Communism.

1. Really David?

Let me know if you're abducted in the middle of the night and executed or placed in a reeducation camp for making this statement. If you are then I might take you a little more seriously.

2. Rick Perry must have wined and dined him.

Head on over to the Latin America forum and you'll see that red baiting is de rigueur.
