Calif. state Republican says bill would protect people from discrimination based on political views
Fox News
California Republican State Sen. Melissa Melendez, amid liberal backlash, argued that her legislative proposals against “cancel culture” aren’t about “protecting Republicans,” but asserting political affiliation as a protected class.
"With President Trump being elected we’ve seen members of Congress advocating for members of the Trump administration to be harassed and targeted. It’s permeating every aspect of our lives, so I felt that putting political affiliation in California’s fair employment and housing act was appropriate," she continues. But, "The bill isn’t about protecting Republicans," she says. "It’s Republicans today, it could be Democrats tomorrow… it’s a bill about fairness."More Related News
