KMT dubs Chen ‘king of nonsense’ in latest card setBy Shih Hsiao-kuang and William Hetherington / Staff reporter, with staff writerThe Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) has released the latest set of its playing card series that feature “ridiculous” quotes from members of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP). The KMT has issued the card sets every two years since 2018 to coincide with local and general elections. This year’s set includes quotes from the DPP’s mayoral candidates Chen Shih-chung (陳時中) in Taipei, Lin Chia-lung (林佳龍) in New Taipei City and Cheng Yun-peng (鄭運鵬) in Taoyuan. Aside from Chen as the king of nonsense, the set also includes several “queens of nonsense,” including Minister of Economic Affairs Wang Mei-hua (王美花) and DPP legislators Fan Yun (范雲) and Michelle Lin (林楚茵). “Chen often said in the past that he has a ‘poker face,’ so we helped him make a set of cards,” said Kang Chin-yu (康晉瑜), spokesman for KMT Taipei mayoral candidate Chiang Wan-an (蔣萬安).
