Stand Behind Your Candidate

Much attention has focused on Maxine Waters, for her remarks in June at the Federal Building on Wilshire Blvd, and the subsequent acting out of them across the country at various political and public events.

"If you see anybody from that Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd," Waters said at a rally at the Federal Building on Wilshire. "You push back on them and you tell them they're not welcome anymore, anywhere."

However, what has gone virtually unreported by the press is a male in a white/light blue shirt standing behind Maxine, vigorously applauding her as she made the above statement. Seen here in the video link, at the 26 second marker, he applauds not once but twice as Maxine incites the crowd.

Who is this individual? California State Assemblyman Jesse Gabriel. This alliance to incite anarchy, by applause and continued presence, was less than a month after he swore to uphold the Constitution (albeit all prior to the Secretary of State certifying the election). No remorse or retraction for the event and remarks have been made by either Waters or Gabriel, nor the Democratic Party.

So, while Maxine Waters is NOT representing the SFV Congressional or State districts, her cohort was elected and supposed to represent all the residents of the California 45^th Assembly District. Apparently, his Westside & DC connections are more important. Perhaps, this aspect of the Waters/Gabriel agenda slipped media attention.

An alternative is on the ballot, with a refreshing approach to issues and incidents. Justin Clark, a resident, employee, and student within the District, believes there is a need for civility and the return to constructive public discourse. https://www.votejustinclark.co... Justin also emphasizes:

"Make no mistake that calling for the forming of crowds to demean others and intimidate others is a guarantee towards circumstances that could easily devolve into mob violence."

“We need people who are willing to challenge the status quo. People who can, and will, go above and beyond in their quest to ensure the public good. At the end of the day we are all Californians and we will sink or swim together.”
