Democrats’ Payback to Republican Assemblyman Bill Essayli for Supporting Parental Rights

“California Democrats represent the antithesis of a constitutional republic. The biggest threat to democracy in America.”

That statement is from Californian attorney Julie Hamill, reacting to Assemblyman Bill Essayli’s revelation that Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas just removed him from the Judiciary Committee Thursday following a vote in the Assembly to end sanctuary state protections for pedophiles.

The Globe attended the floor session and covered the controversial reaction by Democrats to Essayli’s important bill to end sanctuary protections for illegal aliens convicted of sex crimes against minors.

“Last week Democrats silenced me for forcing a vote on the Floor to end sanctuary state protections for pedophiles,” Essayli said. “Today they are punishing me by stripping me of my seat on the Judiciary Committee. I will not be deterred by their threats and intimidation.”

Here is Speaker Robert Rivas’s letter removing former federal prosecutor Bill Essayli from the Assembly Judiciary Committee:

“Mr. Democracy here removed me from the Judiciary Committee just hours ago,” Assemblyman Essayli posted on X. “We can all sleep better knowing Democrats are hard at work saving our democracy by jailing their political opponents, removing them from the ballot, and kicking them off committees.”

Touché.

Here’s what was behind the retaliatory move by Speaker Rivas:

Assemblyman Essayli’s legislation was inspired by Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) announcement that an illegal alien who raped an American child was released from California state custody. He says this is a direct result of California’s Sanctuary State laws for illegal immigrants.

Essayli just wanted his bill heard and debated. As he motioned to suspend the rules to allow his bill to be heard in the Assembly, the Assembly Speaker pro Tempore Jim Wood (D-Healdsburg) told him “Stop. Stop. Stop!” Essayli looked perplexed. “You went beyond making a motion – you started to go into debate,” Wood said. Essayli was making the motion to have his bill removed from the Public Safety Committee and taken up in the Assembly to end California’s “sanctuary state” protections for illegal immigrant pedophiles.

Last week following the Assembly vote, Essayli said:

“It is disgusting that Assembly Democrats just voted to protect illegal immigrant pedophiles. But they are now all on record that they care more about protecting illegal immigrants — even those who rape an innocent child — more than protecting American children. Today is a sad, shameful day in the California State Capitol.”

This week, it got even worse. Assembly Bill 1955, authored by Assemblyman Chris Ward (D-San Diego), which would prohibit schools from allowing parental notification regarding their child’s “changing” gender identity, without the pupil’s consent, advanced through the Senate Education Committee after some inflammatory testimony, as well as testimony disregarding parents concerns or rights. It was headed to the Senate Health Committee.

Assemblyman Ward said, “We need to let teachers teach and to provide a ‘safe, supportive environment.’” Except the environment is anything but safe because of activist teachers and activist school staff, I tweeted.

And then the unthinkable happened:

The California Senate pulled a fast one and voted to pull Assemblyman Ward’s AB1955 on transgender minors’ parental notification from the Senate Health Committee and send it straight to the Appropriations Committee. 

Assemblyman Essayli said:

This is “democracy” under the Democrat control. Suppress opposition. Break procedural rules designed to allow for transparency and debate. Rush rush rush before the public finds out what they’re up to.

Attorney Jennifer Kennedy asked on X:

Asm. Ward and Senate Rules, Why’d you pull #AB1955 from its hearing in Senate Health, sending it to Approps & thus eliminating further public debate b4 the Senate floor vote? Couldn’t stand prospect of People hearing more of its illegality from @ErinFriday75490? Please explain.

After the testimony earlier in the week, it was obvious that Democrats trying to shove this anti-parental rights bill through were trying to maintain control of the narrative via the media. They needed to make haste and move the bill into the no-fail Appropriations Committee, avoiding the Senate Health Committee.

This is shameless and illegal manipulation of the public committee process. But we’ve been witnessing this for years from Democrats – who ironically claim that Democracy is in peril when Republicans are elected, and then suspend the actual Democratic process whenever they need to, lest their creepy bills die naturally.

Perhaps even more ironic is Thursday’s news, as the Globe reported:

Today the Manhattan jury convicted former Pres. Donald J. Trump on all of the 34 charges brought by Alvin Bragg in what can only be described as a “miscarriage of justice.”

We still don’t know what the charges and crimes were.

Assemblyman Bill Essayli is receiving much the same treatment on a state-level scale, from Assembly colleagues, that Donald Trump has lived through for several years – they’d like to see Essayli gone from the Assembly. Stripping him of his committee assignments is their childish payback for his popular support of parents, and for daring to question Democrats’ own motives for pushing through such nasty bills seeking to allow harms onto children, such as transgenderism and sex trafficking.

Even Democrat State Senator Senator Susan Eggman was lauded across social media and the press when she said she’s done protecting people who “buy and abuse children.” She chastised her own party for protecting pedophiles on the Senate floor when lawmakers were debating legislation to make it a felony to purchase or solicit a minor for commercial sex in California.

Seriously.

However, I noted that Senator Eggman is termed out. She’s also a social worker by profession. Yet for years she remained silent about these disgusting bills, voting with her party.

As I posted on X, “This floor speech by Senator Susan Talamantes Eggman (D-Stockton) is telling. She’s termed out, and can now speak her mind about child sex trafficking – but couldn’t the previous 12 years? This is the authoritative power of the political party in charge… She’s often been a voice of reason in the CA Leg but was enslaved by party above principles. Think about it – child sex trafficking, and Democrats won’t support laws to make it a felony again.”

This is what Assemblyman Bill Essayli and any Republicans with strong convictions are up against. Voters need to ask themselves, “who is behind the statewide push convince kids they need to transition to the opposite sex, and why.” What fresh California hell encourages Democrat lawmakers to oppose bills to make sex-trafficking children a felony again, or laws which trigger sanctuary state protections thus covering up for illegal aliens having sex with minors.

Who are the Democrats supporting transgender kids and sex trafficking minors? Are they being paid, or do they really believe in this twisted perversion?

How do these people sleep at night?
