Say Anything To Win…

…And to stir up the hate vote. Some candidates really don’t care if what they say is true as long as it gets them elected.
Schools dispute Assembly candidate's transgender-law argument

California Assembly candidate Young Kim hopes to win votes in one of the state’s tightest races by attacking a new law requiring schools to allow transgender students to use bathrooms of their choice and participate in sports by their gender identity rather than their anatomical gender.

“That doesn't represent the values of this community,” the Fullerton Republican said. She also expressed concerns about practical repercussions. “This bill adds a giant additional burden to our schools.”
Wong!

The school district refutes her claims,
But school districts contacted by the Register said they’ve experienced no increased costs or drain on resources. They said the impact of the law, which took effect Jan. 1, has been minimal and what changes it has brought have been positive.
Her opponent knows what she is trying to do…
Assembly District 65 incumbent Sharon Quirk-Silva, D-Fullerton, said Kim is preying on misunderstanding and fear for political gain.

“I understand, in the way it’s being described, why parents would be afraid,” said Quirk-Silva, who backed the law in a largely party-line vote. “They’re trying to present is as a divisive, fearful issue.”
The conservatives tried to get a recall on the ballot by creating fear but failed and now this Republican is trying to get elected by trying to fan the fires if bigotry.
