Conservative commentator Shawn Farash criticized Rep. Ro Khanna over comments the California Democrat made about wealth, accusing him of hypocrisy by pointing to reports regarding his family’s financial holdings.
Farash made the remarks while discussing Khanna’s recent social media post advocating for an economy that makes it easier for people to build wealth than to accumulate it.
“Speaking of frauds, I thought Dan’s show last week about the most dangerous man in America was very interesting,” Farash said.
He then referenced a post Khanna made on X about economic policy.
“Ro Khanna, I want to be a country where it’s easier to build wealth than it is to hoard it, he said on X. An economy that works for everyone is possible, according to Ro Khanna,” Farash said.
Farash argued that Khanna’s public comments should be viewed alongside information regarding his family’s financial interests.
“Interesting,” Farash said.
He then cited reporting by journalist Andrew Kerr, who posted information on X regarding Khanna’s children.
“Here’s Andrew Kerr on X,” Farash said.
According to Farash, Kerr reported that Khanna’s children own multiple golf courses through family holdings.
“Ro Khanna’s two young children are the proud owners of three private golf courses in Ohio,” Farash said.
Farash emphasized the ages of Khanna’s children while discussing the reported income generated by those properties.
“Ro Khanna’s children, they’re still in elementary school, by the way, have earned up to $2 million from their golf courses in 2024,” Farash said.
He contrasted those reported earnings with Khanna’s public comments about wealth accumulation.
“But what he wants to talk about, we shouldn’t be hoarding wealth,” Farash said.
Farash argued that Khanna should first apply his stated philosophy within his own family before advocating broader economic changes.
“Start with your kids first, you fraud,” Farash said.
Throughout his remarks, Farash characterized Khanna’s statements as inconsistent with the reported financial circumstances involving his family.
According to Farash, public officials who advocate for changes to economic policy should be prepared to answer questions about their own financial arrangements and whether those arrangements align with the positions they promote publicly.
Farash maintained that Khanna’s comments about making it easier to build wealth than to hoard it stand in contrast to the reported earnings associated with his children’s ownership interests in the Ohio golf courses.
He said that disconnect raises broader questions about credibility and consistency among elected officials who advocate for redistributive economic policies while, according to publicly available reports he cited, their own families benefit from substantial private assets.
Farash concluded his criticism by questioning Khanna’s sincerity.
“Could you find somebody as fake and full of sugar honey iced tea as Ro Khanna?” Farash said.
