Over 25 percent of California is unemployed and that number is only growing. Many people are struggling to feed their families while the state government obsesses over a virus that has resulted in <a href=\"https:\/\/sandiegonewsdesk.com\/2020\/05\/two-more-counties-refusing-to-obey-governor-newsoms-stay-at-home-order\/\">zero cases<\/a> in several California counties.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With this tweet, she shows that she is not a labor leader, but a Democratic shill. The fact that she would turn an issue that is affecting millions of people into a cheap virtue signal for identity politics shows that she does not care about workers. It&#8217;s also quite likely that if the protest featured exclusively &#8220;young black and brown men,&#8221; Gonzalez would have had nothing to say. This sort of transparent racialism has become the norm for many Democrats, and she is no exception.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During this time of crisis when many are out of work, the state needs people that truly care about resolving the issue and Gonzalez has shown that she is clearly not one of them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/146269332@N03\/48093598351\/in\/photolist-2ggSgez-2dvaRix-24hvs32-2dN2mB7-Mtae69-2dDS7N1-7km8dV-J1PQFb-8cQoj7-8cQorG-NBczVt-avzQEM-7GT5YQ-2w2ws-4ryvvD-cfuWhh-fDQMmo-aztvtR-aFyrht-6rWZa-rMtFd-6boCx9-Gj8sxH-2fxNVV2-WATzHX-2h9YN1x-HfcRiL-XXt7T1-27qtRRy-XPF5pg-K6FbEG-2ibdbt8-2a5CfPj-7U4hHR-26JHAa7-nvRwa8-6ECErT-bBB6ZA-aCdbC7-74YWhh-effmU-QjFs-E63T-SUSXAL-effjC-MqH3if-NeGNdN-Rf3Jhr-2ibdbyJ-25puDLJ\">Photo by Trending Topics 2019 via Flickr<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Written by Nicholas Vetrisek Earlier this week, Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez tweeted about protesters who want their jobs and lives back, and attempted to turn it into a forced connection to race.
