A Republican who filmed herself harassing a trans woman lost her election. By a lot.

A Republican candidate for California’s house just lost her primary.

In May, Jazmina Saavedra streamed video of herself harassing a transgender woman in a Denny’s bathroom. For half an hour, Saavedra paced in the restaurant, shouted at the transgender woman through the stall wall, and laughed with a friend about how she carries a stun gun and pepper spray for situations like that.

“So, that guy is violating my right to use the ladies’ room here, and he’s saying he’s a lady! Stupid guy,” Saavedra said in the video, which Facebook removed.

On Tuesday, Saavedra soundly lost the primary election for California’s 44th House District, getting 10% of the vote behind Democrat Nanette Barragan (66%) and Democrat Aja Brown (17%).

5. Big "Of course." :)

I liked reading last week about Republican rejection of Kim Davis, that religious registrar in Kentucky who refused to marry gay couples. Davis lost her primary last week by a big margin.

Jacqueline Smith, 72, said many in the community didn’t like the attention Davis garnered in 2015. “I don’t think sexual orientation should have anything to do with it,” she said. “This is America.”

They were rejecting Davis for another Republican, of course, not faced with choosing between her or a Democrat, but it's illustrative anyway.

9. Awesome I didn't hear about that one, thanks

What goes around, comes around...

15. Glad to hear it. This woman and her

son have been living off the taxpayer for too many years.

18. I just read about that....

Kim Davis did NOT lose her primary - she was unopposed. The gay man who filed to run against her lost his primary to another guy - one that Davis only beat by 25 votes in 2014. However, she is still in office and still running in November.

21. Do you have a link for this

I can't find that she was defeated. According to this article she will face a democratic challenger in the fall:

24. article Link in top post is for California. Kim D Republican hater is Kentucky

[SoCalNative]

28. Understood, however the poster that I was responding to

specifically stated:

"I liked reading last week about Republican rejection of Kim Davis, that religious registrar in Kentucky who refused to marry gay couples. Davis lost her primary last week by a big margin."

31. Sorry, everyone. Gist correct but factually wrong-wrong.

I didn't remember here that she wasn't the one knocked out in the primary, one of her would-be Democratic opponents was--one of the two men she refused to marry, AND in copying from another post I made yesterday I left off the first sentence before the quote I wanted to share:

Some Republicans signaled Tuesday they wouldn’t vote for Davis in the fall. Jacqueline Smith, 72, said many in the community didn’t like the attention Davis garnered in 2015. “I don’t think sexual orientation should have anything to do with it,” she said. “This is America.” https://www.courier-journal.com/story/news/politics/2018/05/22/rowan-county-clerk-primary-election-results/635263002/

A number of journals over the past couple years and now have reported on the dislike of many in that community for Davis's troublemaking. She reportedly has little support there. The alternative for those who won't vote for her would be Democrat Elwood Caudill, whose site's only references to the town's unappreciated culture war are

... As your County Clerk, I assure you that every citizen of Rowan County will be treated fairly and respectfully, from myself and all employees. Human dignity will not be compromised in my office. At least four generations of our family have raised their families in Rowan County, so my desire to serve my friends and neighbors is genuine. ...

I assure you, I will serve each and every citizen with dignity and respect. It is my intention to focus on the future, and I look foward to continuing the run for County Clerk in November.

[Initech]

33. So much for your family values, assholes!

[Tipperary]

34. I would like to see that video, but it says unavailable.

Anyone got a link to it?

[colsohlibgal]

35. Awesome

Scientific American has an EBook out detailing how sex and gender is hardly as cut and dried as many, like that hateful excuse for a woman, think it is.

Hate is way too rampant in this Trump era.....hopefully a short lived era.
