California State Assembly Speaker, on Talk Radio: "I don't know why we allow that kind of terrorism to exist"

|

Funny, how dominant political parties tend to tar their marginalized opponents as "traitors" and "terrorists." Actually, it's not funny at all. Here's California State Assembly Speaker Karen Bass having a friendly conversation with L.A. Times columnist Patt Morrison:

How do you think conservative talk radio has affected the Legislature's work?

The Republicans were essentially threatened and terrorized against voting for revenue. Now [some] are facing recalls. They operate under a terrorist threat: "You vote for revenue and your career is over." I don't know why we allow that kind of terrorism to exist. I guess it's about free speech, but it's extremely unfair.

Hat tip to (the properly outraged) Chris Reed.
