Democratic nominee for Congress Simu Liu is known for his Twitter rants against critics of his freshman bill to increase tax credits for Amazon and other big tech companies, but that has not stopped the 47-year-old from earning a lot of social media love for his moderate conservative views. He told Fox News’ Sandra Smith that despite having one of the most difficult campaigns in DC, he has been able to keep things light and optimistic, telling her he tweets because “I don’t even take a pencil” and his newfound popularity “is a lucky turn of events.”
Since sharing a screenshot of his post-primary victory interview, Simu’s Facebook page has grown to more than 50,000 likes. He also continues to add, “I love what you’re saying in your comments and the content of this post.”

Simu was previously denied a spot on the Fox Nation livestreaming platform, before presenting the platform as a “huge victory” for his campaign and explained to Fox Nation that the “interview made us reach every single Fox Nation subscriber in this country.”
I don’t care what your religion or ethnicity is. I just want to hear from you on my bill to improve the economy for everyone – because it works for the country – and I believe in American free enterprise and ingenuity! — Simu Liu (@SimuLiu) September 16, 2018
To which, we are thankful that you have given us an opportunity to speak about this in your own words, your idea to increase family tax credit so that my neighbors who work as plumbers, teachers, electricians, and others are able to have a better and more abundant way to live. You deserve our support. — Simu Liu (@SimuLiu) September 16, 2018

I have to ask you to support my bill to increase the family tax credit. The vote is the day after next and I’ll be spending the next 2 weeks making the case for a family tax credit as soon as it’s clear I have secured the nomination. — Simu Liu (@SimuLiu) September 25, 2018
