California Republicans are facing increased hostility from constituents over policies related to high-speed rail, immigration, and budget cuts. Notably, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy faced considerable backlash during a speech in Los Angeles, while Rep. Jay Obernolte encountered disapproval in Yucca Valley for his praise of budget cuts that resulted in job losses for local park rangers. In another instance, state Senate Minority Leader Brian Jones's unveiling of anti-sanctuary city legislation prompted protests, illustrating a broader trend of Republican dissatisfaction among voters in the state, regardless of their political affiliations.
It was crazy," Nina Fisher, Jones' press representative, told SFGATE Tuesday. She said that when Republican state Sen. Ochoa Bogh attempted to speak with someone in the crowd, "they just started screaming at her ... It was horrible."
Instead of being met with cheers of support, the officials were confronted with screams of disapproval from groups of protesters who disrupted the event that morning.
