Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez Goes Scorched-Earth over Sen. Melendez’s ‘Cancel Culture’ Bills
California Globe ^ | February 16, 2021 | Katy Grimes

The Globe just reported Tuesday California State Senator Melissa Melendez (R -Lake Elsinore) introduced an Anti-Discrimination bill package aimed to protect against cancel culture discrimination. Concerned about the growing climate of intolerance, her two bills protect Californians from discrimination because of political affiliation,” and “affirms Californians are supported in their right to open dialogue and diversity of thought” in education.

Shortly after the article published, we noticed that Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez (D-San Diego) posted a scorched-earth screed on Twitter clearly directed at Melendez’s bills to fight the growing ‘cancel culture’ movement in the state.

KEYWORDS: cancelculture; communism; freespeech; speech
I don’t know who needs to hear this today, but: Your racist, pro-domestic terrorism, xenophobic, misogynistic views do not warrant protection “from discrimination.” Your choice to hate & actively pursue hate does not make you part of a protected class.


So California State Senator Melissa Melendez is being called a racist by Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez because she believes in free speech.

Melendez has the right idea. All states should be doing this.

Someone send Melissa a dictionary so she can look up the meaning of the words she’s throwing around. Clearly the poor thing hasn’t a clue.

Melendez simply opposes free speech. The Democrat Party opposes free speech as a matter of ideology.

You mean send Lorena a dictionary. All the commies do is spew toxic waste in their limited vocabulary of Party-approved epithets.

“”So California State Senator Melissa Melendez is being called a racist by Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez because she believes in free speech.””

Two Mexican (Hispanic/Latino/Latina ???) women and one calling the other racist? Cute!

I don’t think you understand: she is using different definitions of those words she is throwing around.

Like Peace = War, etc., she is a leftist Humpty Dumpty, for whom words mean what he wants them to mean, the question for him being “Who is to be master?”

“Melissa Melendez “ nee Schneider. Messicans are very identity-sensitive around socal, as Gonzalez just proved with her screeching.

I like Melendez. Former Navy intel, world-aware, bootstrapped herself through a MBA. Started local in 2008 with city council, stint as a mayor as she worked her way up to state level. She picked her community and stuck with it for what is approaching two decades. She’s seasoned, has a track record, a thick skin, and the NRC should bring her into focus as a congressional candidate - if she’ll take it.

Fyi, Lorena Gonzalez is the author of Assembly Bill 5, the one that wiped out hundreds of thousands of independent contractor jobs overnight last year because “those weren’t good jobs.”
