'Happy to eat your share of samosas': MAGA influencer slams pastor for speaking up for Indians

The city council meeting of Frisco Tuesday turned acrimonious with the H-1B issue and the 'Indian takeover' of Texas, triggering a major social media debate. Many Frisco residents spoke about how they are happy living with Indian immigrants; some voices came out as extreme. MAGA influencer Kaylee Campbell, who was gathering support for the Frisco City Council meeting on social media, slammed pastor David Lessner for allegedly taking the side of the Indians in a Facebook post.

"I'm a white person who feels incredibly safe and incredibly blessed to live where I live. Around 50% of our neighbors are of Indian (or similar region) origin. If you don't want to live in McKinney/Frisco because you're uncomfortable with non-white people, I'm happy to eat your share of samosas and live in relative prosperity," the pastor at United Methodist Church in Arlington wrote. The post was later not found.
