Krishnamoorthi Blasts Florida Councilman’s Latest Anti-Indian Attack

September 16, 2026 Press Release WASHINGTON — Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-IL) today responded to Palm Bay, Florida City Councilman Chandler Langevin after Langevin wrote, “I won Rajesh. Take your curry and go home,” the latest in a series of attacks he has directed at Congressman Krishnamoorthi, Indians, and Indian Americans. “I’m staying. So is the curry. America is my home. No bigot gets to decide who is American, who belongs here, or what they have for dinner. That’s the America I’ll always fight for,” said Congressman Krishnamoorthi. Langevin’s latest attack comes nearly a year after he drew national condemnation for social media posts targeting Indians and Indian Americans, including calling for the government to “deport every Indian immediately.” After Congressman Krishnamoorthi condemned those remarks, Langevin targeted him directly, calling him a “foreign occupier,” mocking his name as “Unpronounceable,” and listing his country of origin as “Tatooine.” In October 2025, the Palm Bay City Council voted to ask Florida Governor Ron DeSantis to suspend Langevin from office and later censured him. Langevin remains a member of the council.
