Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is not running for reelection, so it is time to get familiar with the Democrat who is likely to replace her in Congress: state Sen. Scott Wiener, one of the most destructive state legislators in the country.
Wiener is the logical replacement for Pelosi thanks to his familiarity with her district. The Democratic establishment is already lining up behind him, with California Attorney General Rob Bonta endorsing him on the same day that Pelosi announced she would not be running. Pelosi will almost certainly back Wiener as well, given that the top alternative is Saikat Chakrabarti, the former chief of staff to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), who created a lot of problems for Pelosi when Ocasio-Cortez was first elected.
CALIFORNIA’S LIBERAL DECAY CAN GET EVEN WORSE
A quick look at Wiener’s record reveals that he holds extreme positions on the LGBT movement. Wiener has pushed to make California a “refuge” for “transgender” children, ensuring that they could flee states such as Texas and come to California, where doctors can physically and chemically disfigure them with permanent, irreversible sex changes. Wiener also introduced the bill that became law, which ensures that male rapists can be placed in women’s prisons so long as they claim to be women. That bill was referred to as “The Transgender Respect, Agency and Dignity Act.”
Wiener was also one of the coauthors of a bill that would ensure that murderers who “killed multiple victims or killed in concert with a rape, robbery, kidnapping or torture” would be eligible for release after serving just 20 years in prison. Wiener successfully weakened criminal penalties for knowingly exposing people to HIV because it was supposedly “stigmatizing” to gay people who have HIV and promiscuous sex.
HOW DEMOCRATS FUEL THE PROSTITUTION INDUSTRY
Wiener has also inadvertently fought to make it easier to allow sex trafficking in California, all because he is focused on “stigma.” Wiener didn’t want to strengthen the punishments for buying a minor for sex because he thinks 18-year-old high schoolers are going around offering their 17-year-old classmates $20 for sex. He successfully decriminalized loitering for prostitution over concerns that arrests weren’t racially and sexually equitable, which has made it harder for law enforcement to crack down on known prostitution street corners where minors are being sex trafficked.
That is the mindset that Wiener will be bringing to Congress after he almost certainly wins next November. He has been one of the worst legislators in California for the past decade, and now he will be the rest of the country’s problem.
