Actress in Pete Hoekstra Racist Campaign Ad Apologizes
Lisa Chan, the 21-year-old UC Berkeley grad and actress who appeared in Michigan Republican Pete Hoekstra’s racist senate campaign ad, issued an apology on her Facebook page today.
“I am deeply sorry for any pain that the character I portrayed brought to my communities.

It was absolutely a mistake on my part and one that, over time, I hope can be forgiven.
