Here's the relevant excerpt.

Q: How do you think conservative talk radio has affected the Legislature's work?
Speaker Bass: A
"The Republicans were essentially threatened and terrorized against voting for revenue. Now [some] are facing recalls. They operate under a terrorist threat: "You vote for revenue and your career is over." I don't know why we allow that kind of terrorism to exist. I guess it's about free speech, but it's extremely unfair."

ironic in that these leftists do not allow the term “terrorists” to be used in the media for those who attack this country.
I am assuming that to a California Democrat (or any democrat for that matter) REVENUE = TAX HIKES.
It's called the US Constitution and "We the People" you frikin' Democratic Moron!
It’s not terrorism. It’s the wrath of the voters in a republic.
IMHO
This dim bulb of a human being will be re-elected again and again because the other dim bulbs will keep voting her in.
We truly are in trouble.
If you looked like Karen Bass, you’d probably be angry too.

California really needs to go back to a part-time legislature so people like this can go back to their real jobs as prostitutes.
That's not terror, that's Politics.
Let me see if I’ve got this right...
I do a crummy job and get fired.
Does that make my boss a terrorist?
She is one of Obama's slaves. She co-chaired his Presidential campaign.
Revenue?
Sacramento is worthy of about a ton of tea bags after THAT statement.
Meanwhile, in the crime-corrupted liberal enclaves of our decaying cities, liberals murder other liberals while the Democrat leadership seeks to put an end to the massacre by taking guns away from law-abiding conservatives who live nowhere near the scenes of the carnage.
Whenever liberals use the word "terrorism" (which they refuse to do with respect to genuine terrorists) I'm reminded of the line in the Princess Bride: "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."
Free speech and the vote is terrorism when used by conservatives,and she doesn’t know why it’s allowed? Unbelievable the arrogance of these neo-Marxist totalitarians. And she knows she is completely safe saying this because of the gerrymandered districts set up by the very same corrupt legislators.
Karen Bass, speaker of the California House of Delegates, “You vote for revenue and your career is over ..... I don’t know why we allow that kind of terrorism to exist.”
Karen Bass is now on record as comparing voters to terrorists.
Didn’t Hillary! tell us (well, scream at us) that it’s “patriotic” to dissent!?
That’s right. If you oppose taxation and take it to the “extreme” of advocating that a tax-hiking legislator be turned out of office, you are a terrorist, an enemy of the state. That’s exactly the point Bass is making.
