Steve Hilton blasts GOP rival Bianco for taking a knee during BLM riots at CA gov debate

Top California Republican Steve Hilton blasted GOP rival Sheriff Chad Bianco for skipping Tuesday’s gubernatorial debate — and for taking a knee with George Floyd protesters in 2020.

Before answering questions from moderators, Hilton wanted to address the “RINO who is not in the room.”

“In 2020, during the Black Lives Matter riots, he took a knee when told to by BLM,” Hilton said. “Now, he says he was praying.” Hilton urged voters not to take his word for it, but see the video of the “shifty sheriff” online for themselves.

...

Hilton is considered the leading Republican in the 2026 California gubernatorial race, and has been a prolific fundraiser so far. He raised about $4.1 million in the second half of 2025, more than most candidates in the race.

Swalwell, with the help of Hollywood elites, has raised about $3.1 million since joining the race in November.

It’s definitely an issue. I’d love to see both men in our top two jungle primary. What a coup that would be.

Chad Bianco should have been tapped on the shoulder by a Republican party official and told to resign or he would get thrown out of the party. If he refused to resign, he should then have been thrown out of the party.

There is no room in the Republican Party for those who would kneel in solidarity with Communist organizations such as Black Lives MatterTM, especially when they rioted to throw a Presidential election.

There is no room in law enforcement for those who would kneel in solidarity with rioters.

It’s doable. We just gotta divide our votes evenly between the two. That might do it. Too many democrats dividing the vote amongst themselves We need a Green Manchurian candidate.
