Nebraska Governor Jim Pillen is facing backlash for dismissing an investigative article into his family business, stating that he didn't read it because the reporter was "from communist China." The reporter, Yanqi Xu, expressed shock at Pillen's comments, especially after receiving no response from his office for her requests for comments. Xu's article revealed higher nitrate levels on hog farms owned by Pillen, posing a potential contamination risk to freshwater sources. Pillen's remarks have been criticized as xenophobic, with journalists and press advocacy groups expressing support for Xu and condemning the governor's comments.
