Several California state Senate Democrats walked out of the chamber after their Republican colleagues honored an openly gay former Trump administration acting Cabinet secretary.
The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence were honored Friday by the Los Angeles Dodgers during a Pride Night ceremony an hour before first pitch.
Essayli told Fox News Digital that when"Democrats walked off the Senate floor in protest of Ambassador Ric Grenell, it highlighted their intolerance toward anyone in the gay and lesbian community that doesn’t agree with their far-left political ideology." "This is their way of celebrating Pride, by bringing in a guy who is truly a self-hating gay man, who takes tons of anti-LGBTQ positions," Wiener said Monday."There are plenty of gay Republicans who don’t do the unhinged things that [Grenell] does. I’m not lumping all gay Republicans together – he is a particularly vile person."with claims that he is a"scam-artist pink washer" in a tweet to which Grenell responded.
After his recognition, Grenell joined chamber Republicans in a press conference and torched Democrat policies and"the gay left mafia." Grenell was asked if he thought it was intolerant for Republicans to walk out on the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, to which the former ambassador said he has friends on the left and that he"doesn’t run out of the room" when confronted with opposing views.
Atkins said that while she and her Democrat colleagues"absolutely oppose the toxic polarization that Richard Grenell embodies," they did not ask that he be uninvited.
