“Whether they posted [or] I posted, it doesn’t really matter at this point.

Finally, Nguyen clarified, “I don’t tolerate violence but I do support my law enforcement.

I know with every profession, there’s good and there’s bad.

I don’t support the bad.

I don’t support the brutality with Black people or with any race.

But I do support my law enforcement, but that doesn’t make me racist.

To support my political stance, that does not make me a racist.

I want you to understand that.”

She later admitted, “I made a mistake” (viaPeople).
