California to Possibly Criminalize Pronoun "Misuse"

[The Xl]

Tucker Carlson debated a Democratic strategist who supports a California bill that would suggest jail time for elder care workers who "willfully" misuse pronouns when referring to transgender residents.

Robin Biro said he supports State Sen. Scott Wiener's (D-San Francisco) bill.

"It doesn't sound very American," Carlson said. "You go to jail if you say something someone doesn't want you to say."
Biro said the bill is essentially a way to extend the Patient Protection Act to cover transgender individuals.
He said 28 percent of transgender elders in nursing homes suffered such harassment from their providers.

Carlson said Biro was ignoring the principle of free speech for political reasons.
"You can be put in prison for saying what you think is true," he said of the bill. "This bill criminalizes speech."

What in the hell is going on in this country? And while I'm all for states rights, how is this not a blatant assault on the first Amendment? If this were to be passed, the precedent it would set would be insanely dangerous. Make no mistake, there are many on the left that want to turn this country into Europe.

I don't think the law, if it passes in the CA legislature, would hold-up in the courts. It is wacky on the face of it because....California.

Democrats want to do away with the traditional conception of both the first and second amendments. Don't let them tell you otherwise.

California is in rebellion. After we defeat the North Koreans I say we ought to declare California is in insurrection, invade and restore an American government.

I think we should stop deluding ourselves and just accept the fact that America is not a unified nation and never has been. If California wants to descend into socialist tyranny, then let them. Why do you even care?
