We have the best. Rep. Kim walks the walk instead of just talking the talk.

Damn dust and onions in my little house.

[True Blue American]

1. I feel that way every time I see

His picture. Then think of those who desecrate the Capital.

[Botany]

2. I had never heard of Andy Kim until I saw a picture of him on hands and knees cleaning up "the mess"

Andy showed more strength and patriotism in his actions there in the Capitol in helping to clean up
and heal America then those who sell hate and lies for millions.

Andy Kim 2032????

Early life and career

Kim was born in Boston to Korean immigrant parents. He was raised in the Marlton section of Evesham Township, New Jersey, and attended Rice Elementary School before moving to Cherry Hill, New Jersey, and graduating from Cherry Hill High School East in 2000. Kim attended Deep Springs College for two years before transferring to the University of Chicago, where he graduated Phi Beta Kappa in 2004 with a degree in political science.

During college, he was an intern at the United States Agency for International Development. Kim later received a Rhodes Scholarship and a Harry S. Truman Scholarship to study international relations at Magdalen College, Oxford.

Kim worked at the U.S. State Department. He served in Afghanistan as a civilian adviser to Generals David Petraeus and John R. Allen before working as a national security adviser under President Barack Obama. Kim served as a United States National Security Council official.

Funny if you have real class, skills, talent, and accomplishment you don't have to say a thing.

5. Thanks for that information, botany.

Rep. Kim truly personifies the phrase “the best and the brightest“. I’m so happy he is getting some recognition.

Then you look at the GOP and Marjorie Traitor Greene. They embrace the craziest and the immoral.

6. Don't forget OH's own Jim Jordan.

7. Uugghh how could I forget that lunatic!

In all honesty, the GOP is full of them!

Thank God he’s not running for Portman’s seat.

[George II]

18. This is why Jordan is a Congressman from Ohio.

The district stretches from just west of Cleveland, just southeast of Toledo, just northwest of Columbus and just north of Dayton. See the trend?

[Mr.Bill]

19. He's probably one of the ones

who took a shit in the Capitol.

[erronis]

21. His filth stains the Capitol every day he shows up

His bluster only partially hides his underlying weakness.

[RussellCattle]

14. Take a yellow underliner to his resume and this is what you would have: Univ. of Chicago,.....

.....Phi Beta Kappa, USAID, Rhodes Scholar, Truman, Oxford, State, Afghanistan, Petraeus, Allen, Obama and NSC. If you captioned a photo of him on his knees with this list and used it as a campaign poster, he should win his next election with 90% of the vote. I hope we hear a lot from him in the future.

[LuvNewcastle]

15. He does have quite a resume.

He would be a solid candidate for President. I don't know if he would want the job or not, but he would also make a great VP if someone like Kamala Harris were running for the top spot. He's got great potential. I could also see him running for President with Buttigieg as VP, but time will reveal all of these things.

[RussellCattle]

17. Isn't it great that we can now easily envision the candidacy of Black, Asian, Woman and....

....Gay people so readily. Even a presidential ticked that would be so "unbalanced", by the old standards, as Buttigieg/Kim. Thank you, again, President Obama.

[erronis]

22. This is what gives me hope about the future - the true acceptance of all of us.

[GeoWilliam750]

28. Rhodes scholar!

Indeed, a very impressive person.

[orleans]

23. i hadn't heard of him before i read an interview with him (with the pics of him cleaning up)

it brought me to tears

i sent him a tweet that was, hands down, the most respectful tweet (or email) i have ever written to any person.

[malaise]

27. Great post

[Butterflylady]

8. He is lucky to have such mother that taught him

To have respect in our institutions.

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

11. I agree, that is very true....

and America is lucky to have immigrant families like Andy Kim's.

Thank you, Congressman Kim!

[Mr.Bill]

20. This is why immigration is one of our strengths

not one of our problems.

[iluvtennis]

9. Love this tweet. Thanks Rep Kim...you're one of the true faces of America. nt

[Jay25]

10. A good man.

[Pepsidog]

12. He is my Congressman. He beat Tom MacArthur the millionaire who tried like hell to get rid or gut

Obamacare. I have 6 votes in my house that elected Andy Kim. The guy the Rs just ran against Kim was another multi-millionaire Republican who inherited a good business and ruined it like Trump.

[Vivienne235729]

13. THIS is what America is about. Brings a tears to my eyes too.

[backtoblue]

16. Yes! This is US!

[monmouth4]

24. A friend of mine lives in his district in Jersey and tells me he has become a hero. They love him.

[Oldem]

25. Yet another example of diversity enriching us.

[BobTheSubgenius]

26. So much heartwarming media these days. It's like the good in the world is coming alive again.

Or I'm just in a better frame of mind to recognize and receive it.
