Conservative of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) criticized the [[Biden regime]]'s ambassador [[Rahm Emanuel]] inserting himself in domestic politics, particularly pressuring Japan’s legislature to pass a pro-[[LGBT]] law. Emanuel pressured the Diet to embrace Western notions of "LGBT rights".  “He shouldn’t interfere in Japan’s domestic affairs, especially with the legislation that is not even passed in his own country. What gives him the right to control us? Is he trying to culturally colonize us?” Japanese conservative commentator Yoko Ishii asked in remarks made to ''[[Breitbart News]]''. “Many of us Japanese are already sick and tired of the interference in domestic affairs by Ambassador Emanuel. This is making us distrust the U.S. This is making us want to stay away from the U.S. I don’t understand how he doesn’t see what he’s causing as a result of his stubborn ideology and ego.”  Complaints about American interference have become increasingly common on Japanese conservative political forums and a unifying complaint for the Japanese right.<ref>https://www.breitbart.com/asia/2023/05/16/japan-bristles-at-rahm-emanuel-diplomacy/</ref>
