編者按：近日，美國衆院司法委員會六名共和黨議員聯名要求聯邦調查局對趙美心進行調查。來自德州的共和黨議員古登表示，「我認爲，趙美心需要受到挑戰（be
called
out），我質疑她的忠誠或能力。她與美國主流社會格格不入」。他還説，「我眞的很失望與震驚，像趙美心這種人會獲得安全許可，在FBI調查清楚以前，她不應該有資格參加國會機密會議」。
趙美心1953年出生於加州。父親是出生在美國的第二代華裔，是參加過第二次世界大戰的退伍軍人。 母親來自中國廣東江門。
身爲第一位當選國會議員的華裔女性，趙美心在回應古登言論的聲明指出，「古登衆議員在福克斯新聞電視台上質疑我對美利堅合衆國忠誠的言論極其荒謬，如果我不是華裔美國人出身，我相信他不會散播這種謡言」。
美國華人聯合會UCA發表如下聲明，譴責共和黨對華裔衆議員趙美心的攻擊。

UCA Condemns Racist and McCarthyist Attacks on Rep. Chu and
Dominic Ng
United Chinese Americans (UCA) strongly condemns the recent racist
and offensive remarks made by Texas Representative Lance Gooden
against Representative Judy Chu, Chairwoman of the Congressional
Asian Pacific American Caucus, and a highly respected leader in
Chinese American and AAPI communities. His baseless comments
questioning Representative Chu's loyalty to the United States are
McCarthyist, racist, and shameful.
As a respected Member of the United States Congress and a dedicated
public servant who has fought tirelessly for her constituents and
for the rights of all Americans for decades, Rep. Chu’s loyalty and
commitment to this country are beyond question, period! It is
shameful that Representative Gooden and other officials would seek
to divide and harm our nation with such ugly McCarthyist attacks.
It is no less disturbing and shameful to accuse Dominic Ng, a highly
respected Chinese American business and community leader, and
President Biden’s pick to represent the United States on the Asia-Pacifc
Economic Cooperation (APEC) in 2023, of treason to America, based on
flimsy and unsubstantiated evidence.
As an organization that advocates for the rights and well-being of
Chinese Americans, we stand in solidarity with Representative Chu,
Dominic Ng, and all those who have been subjected to discriminatory
and xenophobic attacks. We call on all elected officials and
organizations to condemn such behavior and to work towards creating
a more inclusive and respectful society that values diversity and
embraces the contributions of all Americans, regardless of their
ethnic background or where they come from.
