According to Fox News, California Democratic lawmakers are facing a brutal backlash from union activists and others on the left after shelving a universal health care bill. The legislators are now on the receiving end of violent rhetoric and death threats.
They seem to be missing the irony of threatening to kill people over care for their health.
Democrats are getting a dose of their own medicine
Assembly Democrats railed against the “bullying tactics” in a written statement over the weekend.
“In recent days, we have become alarmed and disheartened by bullying tactics, threats of violence, and death threats by a few who disagree with the decision of Speaker Anthony Rendon to postpone the advancement of SB 562,” they said, referring to the scrapped single-payer health care bill. “While it is appropriate for persons of varying views to express concern, disapproval or disfavor about the delay, it is never acceptable to engage in those tactics.”
