In their own words

Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I’m Po Vang, 31, Asian, and physically disabled. I am a Democratic Socialist running for Governor of Minnesota.

I come from nowhere—just a disabled man who is tired of watching the Israel lobby, AIPAC, and the Epstein class destroy the world, the Universal American Dream, and do as they please while getting away with it.

I dropped out of college to study and observe the world for 10 years. Many of our economic and global issues could be easily solved with simple solutions, yet these politicians refuse to act. Instead, they are bought by the Epstein class and Israel’s AIPAC to do their bidding. Every war funded by the Epstein class has only brought chaos and bloodshed to innocent civilians. I know this because my parents were victims of these wars—millions of families torn apart, and children forced to become orphans and fend for themselves.

Just because I’m cripple doesn’t mean I’m unintelligent. Being disabled has pushed me to rely on my mind rather than my body. It has given me a different perspective—one that allows me to observe the world in a more diverse and thoughtful way, so I can help others who may have more advantages than me.

I’m disabled, so I may stumble and fall, but no matter what, I will always get back up and continue fighting for you. I’m a fighter, not a quitter. I will fight for your Universal American Dream. I fear no one—not even Israel.

Universal American Dream.

Vote for the cripple, not the retards.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

The retarded politicians bought by the Epstein class have been treating the working class like the cripple class. Telling us to continue eating Big Ag & Big Food’s poisonous food to get us sicker just to go back to Big Pharma & Big Insurance then to be scammed by Big Fraud with the Big Lie welfare program. An endless cycle to turn us into their forever patients, their forever cash cows that will only end when we’re dead.

Only for them to do the same to our kids.

That’s why I'm running for governor for Minnesota. I will end this endless cycle of abuse created by Big Ag, Big Food, Big Pharma, Big Insurance, & Big Fraud and hold them accountable for destroying your lives and the Universal American dream.Unlike my opponents. I refuse to take money from AIPAC and harshly condemn Israel for their genocide against Palestinians and Lebanese. I will hold Bibi Netanyahu accountable and his cabinet members and staff as well. They’re guilty by association because they have allowed and encouraged these actions from the beginning.

I will arrest Bibi, his cabinet members & staff, & family members if they step one foot inside Minnesota. I have absolutely no tolerance for Israel & AIPAC.

Unlike my opponent "Israel Princess; AIPAC Amy" who's been an avid supporter of Bibi & Israel, and has received over $300k from AIPAC according to

trackaipac.com. She herself attended an AIPAC meeting in 2019.

Fuck Israel & Fuck AIPAC!!!I will bring back the universal American dream. I will tax the rich! The Epstein class. And I will get rid of state property, income, & sales tax for everyday hard working Americans. And I will make sure your father, mother, husband, wife, brother, sister, & kids are not sent off to a war you the American people did not start! Not a single drop of blood will be spilled for the Epstein class and the Epstein war.

I will hold the Epstein class accountable for poisoning the average hard working Americans and for destroying the universal American dream. There will be no more immunity for the Epstein class. I will tax the rich to fix and clean up the environmental damage they have caused to our local communities.

No more Epstein Class!!!

I'm Po Vang, 31, Asian & physically disabled. I am a Democratic Socialist running for MN Governor.

I come from nowhere, just a cripple man who's tired of watching the Israel lobby AIPAC & Epstein class destroying the world & Universal American Dream and doing as they please & getting away with it.

I dropped out of college to study & observe the world for 10 years. So many of our economic and world issues could be easily solved with the simplest solutions.

Millions of families torn apart and kids forced to become orphans and fend for themselves.

Just because I'm cripple doesn't mean I'm retarded. Being a cripple has allowed me to enhance my intelligence since I depend on my brain, not my arms & legs. It has given me a superpower to observe the world in a much more diverse way to help others who has more than me.

I'm cripple so I'll trip and fall a lot, but no matter what I'll continue to get back up every time to fight for you! I'm a fighter, not a quitter. I'll fight for your Universal American Dream.

I fear no one, not even Israel.
