Resignation of Calif. Assembly women Cristina Garcia

Resignation of Calif. Assembly women Cristina Garcia

The Issue

California Assembly woman Cristina Garcia made comments against Asian Americans in a closed-door Assembly Democratic Caucus meeting. Around the same time in which she also acknowledged using homophobic slurs aimed at Perez, the first openly gay speaker of the California State Assembly.

Sources familiar with the incident say that Garcia, erupted in anger during a tense meeting of the entire Assembly Democratic caucus. “This makes me feel like I want to punch the next Asian person I see in the face,” according to sources present at the meeting and other legislative sources 

She also faces allegations, that she sexually harassed David John Kernick, a former staff member in her office in 2014.

We need to stand together and let it be known that  there are consequences for her reprehensible behavior. From allegations of sexual assault and harassment, to her admitted use of hate speech against Speaker Emeritus Perez and the LGBTQ community, to her racist and violent rhetoric against asian americans, she needs to resign!
