California state Sen. Scott Wiener is the Democratic nominee for California’s 11th Congressional District, which is being vacated by its Democratic incumbent. He’s considerably more left-wing than the representative he’s going to be replacing, which is certainly saying something when you consider that the district is in the Bay Area.
The representative he’s almost certainly going to be replacing? The retiring Speaker Emerita, Nancy Pelosi. That’s saying a heck of a lot more.
In fact, Wiener might become the most suicidally progressive member of Congress upon taking office, and I don’t mean that metaphorically: One of his notable accomplishments in the California State Legislature was introducing a law in 2017 that reduced the charge of knowingly exposing a sexual partner to HIV/AIDS from a felony to a misdemeanor, under the rubric that these laws were passed “at the height of the HIV epidemic, that criminalized behaviors of people living with HIV.”
He’s also introduced legislation that would turn California into “a state of refuge for trans kids & their families,” although that bill would take away parental rights if those parents didn’t affirm those kids’ misguided belief that they were “trans.” (Some refuge.) He’s also spearheaded legislation that made it nearly impossible for police to extricate minors from sex trafficking cartels.
On the foreign policy front, to the extent that he’s had to opine, he’s been critical of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and tends to side with the Palestinian Authority in matters pertaining to the Middle East. That should make him a perfect fit with the party’s rising progressive wing, one would think.
Instead, Wiener has been harassed not once but twice over the Israel-Gaza conflict by his likely future constituents in ugly viral public struggle sessions over the past week. Why? Because, according to KTVU-TV, he refuses to call something that isn’t a genocide a genocide. Also, he’s Jewish.
First, there was this video of him getting chased from a pro-transgender event over the weekend: “You’re a piece of shit!” one protester can be heard screaming as he was shooed away by the leftist rabblement. “We fucking hate you!”
While that video garnered the headlines, it was another earlier video that might have been more disturbing. It came from, according to Weiner, a bar in the Mission District of San Francisco, where he went to watch a World Cup game last Wednesday.
“During the game, a man accosted me in a corner of the bar, effectively cornering me and the young women staffers who were with me. He screamed abuse at me and our staff before being ejected by the bar’s employees,” Wiener said.
“You gotta get the fuck out of my ’hood, bro,” the man was heard screaming at Wiener in the video. “It’s free Palestine here; you already know what it is. We [are] against the genocide.”
……..And, according to Wiener, the man’s intent had little if anything to do with “genocide,” such as he may believe it exists.
“After being ejected, the man remained outside the bar, shouting my name and pounding on the side of the bar near where I was sitting for several minutes,” Wiener said in a post on X.
…….“The same individual, in December 2023, stalked me on a plane and in an airport, shouting at me about my ‘tainted bloodline.’”
……..Even by the standards of the hard-left woke patrol, Wiener was aggressively bad, and he used both legislation and the pulpit of public office to bully those whose views were more moderate than his. Didn’t want your kid on puberty blockers? Too bad, pal: The law’s the law, and I wrote it. Want to save minors from being trafficked openly on the street by pimps? What are you, some kind of persecutor of marginalized communities? Those aren’t our values here in California, bub, and you’d better play by our rules.
The DemLeft fosters the most extreme fringes of their party. The fringe likes you as long as you’re a muzzie terrorist-supporting, self-loathing Jew. If you’re not, they’ll make you feel like it’s Kristallnacht.
The monster has turned on its creators. No wonder the Proglodytes are running for cover.
