California Democrats vote against making child trafficking a "serious crime" (UPDATED)

Some people think I am exaggerating when I point out that Democrats are moving to normalize pedophilia.

“It can’t be!” “Nobody is that evil!”

Is it hyperbole? No. Is it perhaps a misrepresentation or a misunderstanding on my part?

Absolutely not.

Democrats want to sexualize children, and in the past week have been attacking opponents of child sex trafficking and calling us conspiracy theorists, and now the California Public Safety Committee voted down a bill, on a party-line vote, that would have enhanced penalties for child sex trafficking by making it a “serious felony,” which is a step up from merely being illegal.

JUST IN: SB 14, a bill by Sen. @ShannonGroveCA (R-Bakersfield) to classify human trafficking of minors as a serious felony & categorize it under CA's three strikes law for re-offenders, failed in the Assembly Public Safety Committee.

To give you context, this bill has come up and failed in the past because it classified all human trafficking as a “serious crime,” and Democrats opposed that. Trafficking adults is apparently not that big a deal.

What about children, then?

It was rewritten so that only trafficking in MINORS would be a serious crime, and it made it through several committees until the Assembly Public Safety Committee voted it down–in the most cowardly way possible, with Democrats abstaining so they wouldn’t have to own up to a “No” vote.

So no, trafficking in minors is also not a serious crime in California. Geez.

Important context on the bill to make HUMAN TRAFFICKING OF MINORS a violent felony in California that the Assembly "Public Safety" committee blocked in a party-line vote. It was amended to only go after traffickers targeting minors and California Democrats still blocked it. #SB14 https://t.co/Cl7ptjt2A7

In what possible universe could anybody object to making the trafficking of minors a serious crime? A universe where Democrats are trying to make it easier to do so, not harder.

Sex trafficking is already a serious problem in California, and Senator Scott Weiner and his Democrat colleagues have loosened laws to the extent that streetwalkers are now common in residential neighborhoods at times. Weiner et al claim that their legal changes are intended to prevent police harassment, but the police point out that prostitution is not just a quality of life issue for the people in the neighborhoods, but that the prostitutes themselves are usually victims of human trafficking, and police can help get some of the women out.

Weiner shrugs, as do his colleagues. He is, not coincidentally, on the Senate Public Safety Committee.

The Left has been doing a full-court press against the movie Sound of Freedom, about the sex trafficking of children, claiming that it is Q-Anon “adjacent.” The accusation is absurd on its face, and the reviews even admit that the movie itself pushes no Q Anon theories. Not only that, it was written and mostly shot before such a thing as Q-Anon even existed.

Doesn’t matter. Suddenly child sex trafficking is just a conspiracy theory. And enhancing penalties wouldn’t do anything about it anyway.

I've worked in the field of anti trafficking, in the US and abroad, and I've seen rescued sex trafficked kids.

The Sound of Freedom movie isn't a "Q-Anon-adjacent" thriller "seducing America." Why would a news source intentionally libel a movie meant to motivate rescuing kids?

Provide me an explanation for why the media–CNN also attacked the movie–is so determined to downplay child sex trafficking and for why the Democrats are opposed to an anti-trafficking bill that is innocent. I can’t think of an innocent one.

Now add in the porn in schools, the drag queens in lingerie, the naked cyclists at “family friendly” parades, and bondage displays everywhere and tell me that sexualization of children is a myth. It isn’t. It is happening right before our eyes.

Obviously, most Democrats are not on board with this agenda, but just as obviously the most powerful factions in the Party are. They have been for a very long time. Look at Hollywood history and it isn’t pretty. And since our political system is so tribal, Democrats won’t listen to us when we warn them about what is happening.

Unfortunately, we are pissing in the wind on this one, at least for the short term. We can make progress in Red states, but the Blue states will inevitably push farther and farther until voters wake up after a series of scandals. Thousands of children will be victimized in the interim, and only the worst offenders will go to jail.

Look at the Epstein affair. Two people–TWO–went to jail, and neither of them was a client.

So it will go in California and other Blue states.

UPDATE/CORRECTION: In an earlier version I referred to the California Senate Public Safety Committee; it was the California Assembly Public Safety Committee that killed the bill.

Permissive homosexuality always includes pedophilia. I can't think of a historical example when it wasn't the case.

How about trafficking slaves? Is that no big deal either?

The Democrats - and they aren’t alone - absolutely are pushing to normalize sex with children. They are, as well, attempting to create a judgment-free environment in which children are deliberately corrupted from the earliest possible age. If I’d seen those two sentences five years ago I’d have dismissed them as kookery. We are in a very revelatory time here.

The left is proving that the movie is true and it’s only scratching the surface of how bad it is.

Normalizing child endangerment.

One more reason to hate California.

Trafficking in people is a form of slavery and the Democrats, true to form are protecting a contemporary form of slavery.

I see the Democrat establishment has learned nothing since 1865.

this sounds like a good bill to try and get passed through a ballot initiative.

Democrats are evil.

Pure evil.

Only satanic level evil would not object to human trafficking of any kind, much less sex trafficking of children.

Those millstones need to sink these pedophiles to the lowest place of hell.

The Dems have actually been the party of slavery well since when the party existed.

Dems were the same way when pubs tried to banned the Islamic practice of castration of baby girls. “It’s exaggerated, not a problem!” They said

Well, even if so, why their objection to a ban?

They never forgave Abe and his army of Republicans from taking away their slaves in 1865.

/\

The first mail vote fraud was in 1864 , since then they have learned many new ways to cheat in elections, but other than that I agree.

Reprobates by definition are incapable of any positive morals or change.
