Pelosi’s Likely Successor Dwarfs Her Radicalism

With the Wicked Witch of the West Coast — a.k.a. Nancy Pelosi — finally retiring from Congress, the race is on for her broom ride to Washington, DC. Unfortunately, if you can believe it, those seeking to fill this congressional power vacuum are even more ideologically and morally duplicitous.

One such front-runner candidate for Pelosi’s seat is California State Senator Scott Wiener.

Wiener, a San Francisco politician, has generated immense human suffering in the Golden State. He’s responsible for SB 132, the 2020 law that allows males misidentifying as females to be housed in women’s prisons. This heinous legislation has turned into a form of cruel and unusual punishment for incarcerated females, many of whom have been raped, harassed, and intimidated by mentally ill males.

Wiener would rather see these women experience brutalization than admit that his stance is terribly wrong. In fact, whenever he’s confronted with the issue, he shuts down, doesn’t actually address the problem, and in some cases calls those who protest it “disgusting.”

Wiener is also behind SB 357, a law that decriminalized loitering with the intent to solicit prostitution. Guess what that hellish decision led to? The sexual slavery of young women and men — some of whom are minors — who are being flaunted with impunity down the streets of Los Angeles. This is not justice. It’s a tragedy.

SB 357 is even unpopular with some Democrat lawmakers because when legislators tried to introduce a bill to protect these vulnerable children by prosecuting their customers, Wiener and his ilk changed the legislation beyond all recognition.

Wiener was behind SB 107, which made California a sanctuary kidnapping state for gender-confused kids to run to if their families disagree with their adoption of gender pathology. As California Policy Center President Will Swaim put it, “Team Wiener says the law, which Newsom signed in 2022, protects vulnerable kids from bad parents and regressive red-state policies. You might say it violates parental rights, encourages runaways, and makes those kids vulnerable to abuse, including sex trafficking.”

These are but a taste of Wiener’s legislative bugaboos. If any bill has anything to do with the promotion of promiscuous sex and/or annihilating the freedoms of parents and the safety of children from predatory behavior, his name is generally associated with it. Even recently, after black lesbian rap artist Tish Hyman got kicked out of her gym for confronting a gender-confused man for being in a women-only space, guess who Wiener defended? Hint: It wasn’t the black lesbian; it was the wife-beating, gender-confused sociopath.

Forget Pelosi, Here’s Why You Should Fear Her Likely Successor

It was a good day this week when Nancy Pelosi announced her intention to retire at the end of this term. There has been speculation for years that she would retire soon, and it is finally happening. The problem? Her replacement may actually be much, much worse than her.

The man who has been looking to replace her in Congress in State Sen. Scott Weiner. His record is so radical that we’ve actually discussed him many times here at PJ Media. He checks all the boxes for the radical left: fanatically obsessed with climate change lawsuits, a champion for “trans refuge” policies that upend families and public safety, and always eager to line up with the most extreme social experiment the Sacramento swamp can devise.

Pelosi’s announcement that she won’t seek reelection has all but cleared the path for Wiener, whose campaign website is already up and running, and features a pride flag as part of his branding.

Earlier this year, Wiener authored legislation giving wildfire victims a blank check to sue oil companies for “climate change-related damages.” Instead of holding the real culprits accountable for California’s wildfire crisis — years of mismanagement, neglected forests, and feckless bureaucracy — Wiener wants to let trial lawyers loot Big Oil in the name of justice. The bill does a neat job of distracting from government failure, while inviting a legal circus that rewards people for blaming anyone but the inept officials actually responsible.

Wiener’s zeal for legislating the culture war is unmatched. In 2023, he pushed AB 957, rewriting California’s Family Code so that if a parent doesn’t “affirm” his or her child’s “gender identity,” a judge could deny the parent custody of their child during divorce proceedings.

This isn’t Wiener’s only foray into pushing the sexual boundaries that the left favors. He’s the architect of SB 145, dubbed the “pro-pedophile” bill, which essentially decriminalizes sex with certain minors under the guise of “equity” for the LGBTQ community.
