'CULTURAL RESET': A new California bill—named after Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk and former Minnesota Democratic Rep. Melissa Hortman, who were both murdered last year — seeks to classify violence based on political affiliation as a hate crime.
“It’s about a cultural reset. It’s a commitment to the idea that every Californian has the right to their political views without fear of being targeted by those who see them as an enemy rather than a neighbor," State Assemblymember Laurie Davies said.
