LA Times won’t endorse genocide: Nika Soon-Shiong

The daughter of Los Angeles Times owner Patrick Soon-Shiong says the paper Is refusing to endorse a candidate overseeing genocide. “For me, genocide is a line in the sand.”

In a series of social media posts on Oct. 24, Nika Soon-Shiong said that the decision stems from opposition to Democratic candidate Kamala Harris’ stance on the war on Gaza. She noted that her father, a South African transplant surgeon, worked as an emergency surgeon at Baragwanath Hospital in Soweto during the apartheid era, stating, “For my family, apartheid is not a vague concept.” 

Nika said, “This is not a vote for Donald Trump. This is a refusal to endorse a candidate overseeing a war on children.”
