Summary
Dan Koh, a candidate for Congress in Massachusetts’s 6th Congressional District, deleted several Black Lives Matter (BLM) posts from his Twitter account. The posts, which were originally published in 2020, have since been deleted. Koh’s campaign has not explained why the posts were deleted, but a spokesperson stated that Koh will fight against racial prejudice and inequality if elected. Koh is running to replace outgoing Rep. Seth Moulton and has made racial equity a part of his campaign platform.
Our Reading
As expected, the matter has reached another stage.
Dan Koh deleted his Black Lives Matter posts, but still highlights racial justice on his campaign platform. He worked in the Biden White House and advised on infrastructure-related matters. Koh is running to replace outgoing Rep. Seth Moulton. The seat has been safely Democratic for decades. Koh’s campaign did not explain why the posts were deleted. He will face off against Republican candidate Micah Jones if he clinches the Democratic nomination.
It’s a familiar pattern: a candidate distances themselves from a potentially divisive issue, while still trying to appeal to the same constituency.
