U.S. Rep. Keith Self said he would soon visit Taiwan to learn how serious the country was in defending itself against possible invasion from Communist China.
“China is no longer just a big warehouse in the sky that Amazon delivers to you,” Self said at a “Koffee with Keith” event held Saturday, June. 24. “China is at war with us today, financially, psychologically and monetarily,” he said
Five months into his first term, Self told about two dozen constituents crowded into the Sweetwaters Coffee & Tea shop that his three priorities were the national debt, border security and dealing with China.
The youngest member of the audience, a 14-year-old Boy Scout, asked the congressman what could be done to secure the border.
“You need to start talking to your parents and your grandparents and your friends at school and say, ‘Why do we not have a closed border?’” Self told Brian Goodrich of Murphy.
