Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump may want to avoid West Hollywood when he campaigns in California ahead of the state's potentially decisive June 7 primary.
Lindsey Horvath, the mayor of West Hollywood, Calif., which is located in the heart of Los Angeles County and home to a sizable population of gay men, penned a letter to Trump this week explaining that he is unwelcome in her city.
"With the primary making its way to California, as West Hollywood's Mayor, I want to make very clear that your campaign of violence and intimidation is not welcome in our City," she wrote in the letter.
"From mocking people living with disabilities to classifying entire ethnicities as violent criminals to persecuting specific religious communities, Trump has pursued headlines in this election season with reckless abandon," Horvath later explained in an op-ed for the Advocate.
Horvath, an outspoken LGBT activist and West Hollywood's youngest elected mayor, described herself as "deeply disturbed" by Trump, who she claimed has "gone beyond [his] right to express a political point of view or policy differences."
"As Mayor of West Hollywood, it is my primary responsibility to keep our community safe," she wrote in an email to the Washington Examiner.
According to Horvath, West Hollywood was previously welcomed politicians from both parties to hold campaign events in the city. "[But] those same Horvath courtesies will not be extended to the Trump campaign," she claims.
The 34-year-old mayor has already instructed City staff that they are able to refuse to issue special events permits to Trump should he attempt to schedule a rally in the Los Angeles County city, and "such actions are well with [their] right[s]," Horvath told the Examiner.
With a little over two months left to go until Trump competes in California's Republican primary, Horvath has also called on the other 87 mayors in Los Angeles County to follow suit and block the billionaire from campaigning in their cities.
A University of Southern California/Los Angeles Times survey released last Sunday showed Trump polling just 7 percentage points ahead of Texas Sen. Ted Cruz in the Golden State. California awards 172 delegates, the most of any state, on a proportional basis to the winner of is Republican primary.
I was told I had to be nicer. :)
The only Cruz connection is that a moonbat radical leftist gay-agenda-huffing mayor has banned Trump while Cruz is welcome. Given the circumstances, being banned is better.
You can say that again!
A citizen and tax-paying resident of that fair city should invite Trump to dinner at their home. That would be a lovely law suit in the making against the city “leaders.”
Not to mention since the major has pursued the publicity hound agenda, Trump visits, with no formal campaigning. But....given the mayor’s look-at-me stuff, there are probably major protests, disruptions, overtime for city workers, pretty soon the city has financial, legal issues and ......Trump has a nice dinner.
The only real problem with it is it won’t fit in my tagline.
lol!
“Dear Jim, we need 2,500 character tag lines. Seems a simple description of liberals doesn’t currently fit.”
Liberals, why is it that they think the Constitution doesn’t apply to them? Trump should absolutely descend on her little burg.
Show up there and trash the place. Leave a big turd pile on the gauleiter’s desk.

Good list.
You left out Fascist!
What a bigot.
I used to work in LA near West Hollywood back in the day. WeHo is notoriously full of homosexuals, gay bars, etc. The mayor is pandering to her constituency. Not sure she has a legal leg to stand on.
Typical Facist Cruz supporter!
Ain’t tolerance and free speech just wonderful?
Spit.

Let’s have a few towns in (generally) conservative Northern California “ban” Hillary and/or Bernie from campaigning in their counties ... It would be fun to have that play out!
A lot of Gay, Lesbians, Transgenders are Trump fans.
Listen to Milo. Language in video is not for kids though. a little risque.

Better yet ride in with his Harley Supporters and all of them chalk pro Trump signs on the sidewalks around the city offices.
Then Trump can give a speech on the steps. When the Mayor tries to interrupt, let the Secret Service arrest her and her pink pals.
SO when HORVATH looks for help from the Trump administration she can sit on it
leftist Gays and women.....are really out in the cold these days ..
The left is in process of dumping them for their new big demographic...islam...
I realise most of you here have no interest in generating social power to save out nation.....most conservatives just dont think like communists..and are not organized around these principles ..at this point a large portion of the Dem can be converted...it would help U.S. all if every conservative....would” hold out their hand” to the confused and delusional ....show them how their particular little cause is being Used for power by the left.
Right NOW Logic...can be employed to some effect there has been a Change.....women can be shown what their lives will be like in 5 yrs....if Trump or Cruz is not elected ...The tools are avail....the debate undeniable ....
Thank You for your attention in this matter.
