Carl DeMaio's tenure as a San Diego assembly member has drawn significant criticism from Democrats and some Republicans alike, often due to his MAGA alignment and self-promotional tactics. Despite his criticism of party leaders and being accused of criminal wrongdoing, DeMaio's opinions have sparked further ire during legislative sessions. In a recent contention regarding a resolution for Pride month, he objected to its complexity and perceived divisiveness. His remarks were notably interrupted by a Democrat during his address, showcasing tensions within legislative discussions on LGBTQ+ matters.
"DeMaio complained that the resolution larded with more than three dozen whereas-es strayed far afield from a straightforward commendation, endorsing some very controversial and extremist positions opposed even by members of the LGBTQ+ community."
"This is not about affirming the LGBT community, DeMaio said. It's about using them as a political pawn to divide us."
