A Republican California assemblyman was left stunned Wednesday when the Democratic chair of the Assembly Labor and Employment committee cut off his microphone and then ordered security to physically remove the microphone from the meeting.
The incident occurred during debate over legislation that would increase the Golden State’s minimum wage to $11 in 2016 and $13 in 2017. The current minimum wage is $9 an hour and is set to already rise to $10 an hour next year.
Republican Matthew Harper said that Democratic chair Rodger Hernández cut off a witness testifying mid-sentence. When Harper, who Hernández had already recognized as the next speaker, began to testify, he too was cut off.
“You cut me off,” the Republican assemblyman said after Hernández accused him of “yelling.”
Video captured Hernández then reach over another individual to physically turn off Harper’s microphone. The committee chair then got security involved, ordering them to remove the microphone.

California, this is your new Aztlan. At what point do they go full South American and have the offending opposition taken out and shot.
“Freedom of speech” to a democrat-socialist means “free for me, denied to thee.”
They voted for them, therefore they must love them.
Again Republicans show to all the absence of spine.
Given the opportunity, they will kill us.
Now that caucasians are a minority in CA, he should file a suit. Pull the race card, loot, and burn down shops in the meantime. As a minority you get a free pass to do so now.
Their invading irregulars from Latin America already are.

Like the queers and dykes, the hispanic gangs tolerate no opposition
What is it about these lefty’s? They’ve used every parliamentary procedure in the book to gain advantage then deny them to others. These people wouldn’t even have elections anymore in California if they thought for a second they’d get away with it.
The New Totalitarians Are Here (by Tom Nichols) from The Federalist.
We see more and more of these mini-tyrants full on display. They won't let any other view points (from their own) being heard.
Unchecked, we will 'endure' more of such injustice.
Californians shouldn’t be surprised if one day in the future, the Sergeants at Arms of the California Assembly will be members of MS-13.
We are in a Banana Republic.
The totalitarian thug left. Only the beginning.
Let’s hope they get that $13 min wage. The faster California collapses, the better.
Why stop at $13? Why not $25, or $30?
The lunatic left loves diversity of opinion.............
Much sooner than you think.
Well .. about 4 million repubs have left the state; meaning there aren’t enough repubs to elect others. If people want to have repub officials, they’ll have to move back to CA.
I currently live is a fairly normal area .. but I can already see the creeping PC stuff starting to happen.
