A county supervisor declaring that &#8220;San Diego is no place for Trump Republicans&#8221; discriminates solely based on a difference in political views and does not present a welcoming or uniting message for the County. Not to mention that the Board of Supervisors is majority Republican, so he is not even speaking as a member of the majority. Fletcher is effectively saying that his colleagues\u2014and their constituents\u2014are unworthy of being in San Diego simply because they disagree with him politically.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a similarly divisive nature, Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez tweeted out last week pushing legislators to vote &#8216;yes&#8217; on ACA 5, which a <a href=\"https:\/\/sandiegonewsdesk.com\/2020\/03\/affirmative-action-bill-sponsored-by-assemblywomen-shirley-weber-and-lorena-gonzalez-is-racist-and-regressive\/\">racist and regressive<\/a> affirmative action bill.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I don\u2019t want to see a single one of my fellow legislators post about <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/blacklivesmatter?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#blacklivesmatter<\/a> but not vote on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/ACA5?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#ACA5<\/a> next week.
