i don't know whether to call you professor or comrade. >> oh my goodness. >> senator, i'm not a communist. i do not subscribe to that ideology. i did not choose where i was born. i did not -- i do not remember joining any facebook group that subscribes to that ideology. i would never knowingly join such a group. there is no record of me ever actually participating in any marxist or communist discussions of any kind. my family suffered under the communist regime. i grew up without knowing half of my family. my grandmother, herself, escape death, twice, under this stolen regime. this is what is seared in my mind. that's who i am. i remember that history, i came to this country, i'm proud to be an american. and this is why i'm here today,
