A GOP CANDIDATE FOR CALIFORNIA'S 44TH DISTRICT
WANTED TO MAKE A STATEMENT ABOUT TRANSGENDER INDIVIDUALS USING
THE BATHROOMS THAT THEY IDENTIFY WITH.
THE CANDIDATE'S NAME
IS JASMINE SAAVEDRA AND SHE WAS AT A DENNY'S RESTAURANT, SHE
NEEDED TO USE THE RESTROOM AND SHE WAS INFORMED THAT THE PERSON
USING THE STALL WAS A TRANSGENDER WOMAN.
SHE THOUGHT
IT WOULD BE A GREAT IDEA TO TAKE HER PHONE OUT AND START FILMING
A FACEBOOK LIVE VIDEO WHILE SHE IS SIMULTANEOUSLY HARASSING
THIS PERSON AS SHE USES THE RESTROOM.
TAKE A LOOK AT THE VIDEO.
OKAY, THIS IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW IN DENNY'S IN LOS ANGELES.
I AM TRYING TO USE THE LADIES ROOM RIGHT NOW.
LADIES ROOM.
AND THERE IS A MAN HERE SAYING THAT HE IS A LADY.
I SEE A
DIFFERENT CUSTOMERS TRYING TO USE THE RESTROOM.
HE IS A LADY.
FIRST OF ALL YOU GUYS ARE HARASSING ME, I'M JUST
USING THE RESTROOM.
WHY ARE YOU USING THE LADIES ROOM?
INVADING MY PRIVACY.
YOU ARE INVADING MY PRIVACY BECAUSE I AM A WOMAN.
I AM IN THE TOILET.
HOW AM I INVADING YOUR PRIVACY.
HELLO?
DO YOUR HOMEWORK BEFORE YOU SPEAK TO ME.
YOU ARE VIOLATING MY RIGHT.
YOU ARE SICK, STUPID, SICK.
SO SHE IS CLAIMING THAT HER RIGHTS ARE VIOLATING AS SHE
IS HARASSING A PERSON IS THAT PERSON IS USING THE RESTROOM.
I CAN'T BELIEVE SHE'S NEVER CINNAMON IN THE WOMAN'S RESTROOM
BEFORE.
IF SHE BELIEVES THIS PERSON IS A MAN.
ONE OTHER THING I WANT TO MENTION IS THE ARGUMENT THAT YOU
HEAR FROM CONSERVATIVES IS THAT IF YOU ALLOWED TRANSGENDER
PEOPLE TO USE THE BATHROOM THAT THEY IDENTIFY WITH THAT WILL
CREATE UNSAFE SITUATIONS THAT THE ONLY PERSON WHO IS ARRESTING
ANYONE OR CAUSING AN UNSAFE SITUATION IS THIS
CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATE IN CALIFORNIA.
YOU ARE HARASSING SOMEONE AS THEY ARE USING THE BATHROOM.
THAT PERSON IS SIMPLY USING THE BATHROOM AND YOU ARE GOING
OUT OF YOUR WAY TO HARASS THEM.
YOU KNOW, I READ THE STORY AND THEN I FORGOT SHE WAS A
CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATE.
THAT IS INSANE IF YOU WERE JUST A
NORMAL PERSON.
SHE IS A SELF PROCLAIMED LATINO SPOKESPERSON
FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP.
SELF-PROCLAIMED.
SHE IS A
CANDIDATE IN THE 44TH DISTRICT IN CALIFORNIA, AMONG THE
REPUBLICANS RUNNING.
BY THE WAY, TO BE FAIR, ANYONE CAN RUN.
DOES ANYONE WHO IS A REPUBLICAN LOOK AT THAT VIDEO AND I KNOW
THE
ANSWER TO THIS, BUT I AM TRYING TO FIND THE ONES THAT ARE NOT,
THAT LOOKS AT THAT AND GOES, I AM PROUD.
WAY TO GO,
YOU SHOULD GO INTO A BATHROOM WITH A VIDEO CAMERA AND YOU
SHOULD HARASS PEOPLE LIKE THAT.
I AM SO PROUD OF HER.
IF YOU
ARE IN THAT CAMP, DO SOME SELF EVALUATING FOR A SECOND.
ARE YOU SURE YOU ARE THE GOOD GUY?
ARE YOU POSITIVE ABOUT THE QUEST IS THE ONE STALKING PEOPLE IN
THE BATHROOMS AND SAYING THAT PERSON'S IDENTITY BOTHERS ME SO
MUCH THAT I AM GOING TO TRY TO HUMILIATE THEM PUBLICLY.
WHAT A SAD, SICK PERSON YOU ARE.
LOOK, IT IS ONE THING TO HAVE CONSERVATIVE VIEWS ABOUT THE
TRANSGENDER COMMUNITY AND KEEP THOSE VIEWS TO YOUR SELF.
IT IS
ANOTHER THING TO TAKE THIS KIND OF ACTION.
IT IS SO HIDEOUS AND
SO INCREDIBLY CRUEL.
WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE STATISTICS AND YOU
LOOK AT THE SUICIDE RATE AMONG TRANSGENDER PEOPLE BECAUSE
OF THE WAY THAT THEY ARE DISENFRANCHISED, THE WAY
THEY ARE DISCRIMINATED AGAINST, THE WAY THEY ARE CONSTANTLY
BEING ATTACKED IN THE NEW SEE VIDEOS LIKE THAT.
THIS WOMAN IS SO INCREDIBLY IGNORANT DIET AND SHE
THINKS IT IS A GOOD IDEA.
I AM GOING TO FILM THE STOCK.
I IMAGINE SHE IS TRYING TO MAKE A NAME FOR HERSELF
BEFORE THE PRIMARY, BUT I IMAGINE SHE IS A FRINGE
CANDIDATE TRYING TO SORT OF CREATE A VIRAL MOMENT FOR
HER SO PEOPLE PAY ATTENTION AND PERHAPS THAT WILL HAPPEN.
I'M CURIOUS, DO WE KNOW WHAT THE DENNY'S GUY WAS DOING?
IT WASN'T A DENNY'S EMPLOYEE IN THE BATHROOM, NOT THE
ONE IN THE STALL BUT IN THE VIDEO YOU CAN SEE A MAN IN
THERE WAS AN EMPLOYEE.
HE WAS KNOCKING ON THE DOOR, WAS HE TELLING THEM TO GET OUT?
I AM NOT CLEAR ON THAT.
I THINK I KNOW THIS PART OF THE STORY.
IT WASN'T THE
TRANSGENDER PERSON BUT THEY FOUND, THIS IS DENNY'S
STATEMENT, THEY FOUND DRUGS ON THE FLOOR AND SO THE DENNY'S
EMPLOYEE WENT IN THERE TO TAKE CARE OF THAT, BUT THAT HAD
NOTHING TO DO WITH THE TRANSGENDER WOMAN IN THE
BATHROOM STALL.
TO BEN'S POINTS, UNFORTUNATELY, AND WE ARE ALSO
GUILTY OF THIS, WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THIS WHEN ALISON HARTSON
WAS HERE ON ELECTION NIGHT LAST TUESDAY.
SHE IS RUNNING AGAINST
DIANE FEINSTEIN IN CALIFORNIA FOR THE SENATE SEAT AND WHO
IS THE ONE CANDIDATE IN THAT RACE THAT THE MEDIA HAS
COVERED THE MOST?
I HAVE COVERED HIM TOO, IT IS A GUY NAME PATRICK LITTLE WHO IS A
NAZI AND HE SAYS HE WANTS TO DRIVE JEWS OUT OF THE COUNTRY
AND HE IS DOING ROBO CALLS ABOUT HOW FEINSTEIN IS A JEW AND NEEDS
TO BE DRIVEN OUT.
BY THE WAY, AND ONE OF THE POLES HE WAS AT
18%, SO ALL OF A SUDDEN, FRINGE CANDIDATES, HE WOULD COME IN
SECOND YOU WOULD GO TO THE GENERAL ELECTION IF THAT POLL IS
ACCURATE, I HOPE TO GOD IT IS NOT BUT BLANKENSHIP WITH THE
CHINA PEOPLE, THESE GUYS, THIS PERSON GOING INTO THE
BATHROOM, WHY?
I HOPE ACCIDENTALLY NOT ON PURPOSE INCENTIVIZE BAD
BEHAVIOR BECAUSE IF YOU ARE CRAZY, WE COVER YOU.
IF YOU ARE A GREAT CANDIDATE WHO IS GOING TO HELP THE PEOPLE
OF YOUR STAY, YOU DON'T GET ANY COVERAGE AND SO THIS IS THE
RESULT OF THAT.
ALLISON HAS THE AUDACITY TO OF SPENT THE LAST COUPLE OF
YEARS TRYING TO GET MONEY OUT OF POLITICS AND SHE WAS A
SCHOOLTEACHER.
THAT IS NOT SEXY, IT IS NOT VIRAL.
I DO NOT KNOW WHAT WE'RE SUPPOSED TO DO BECAUSE ON
ONE HAND, WE DO COVER THOSE CANDIDATES.
YOU HAVE AN ENTIRE SHOW DEDICATED TO COVER THOSE
CANDIDATES.
THE PROGRESSIVE CANDIDATES, NOT THE CANDIDATE THAT WE WERE
TALKING ABOUT THE STORY, BUT AT THE SAME TIME, YOU HAVE THESE
LUNATICS RUNNING AROUND VICTIMIZING PEOPLE AND THEN
WHAT DO WE DO?
WE SIT BACK AND LET IT HAPPEN.
TO BE NOT CALL THEM OUT?
DO WE NOT PROVIDE A VOICE FOR THE POWERLESS?
BECAUSE THAT IS THE ISSUE HERE.
FOR ME, THAT WOMAN BEING
HARASSED LIKE THAT, SHE HAS NO POWER AT ALL, AND WHO IS
GOING TO SPEAK UP FOR HER?
WHO IS GOING TO DEFEND HER?
IT'S TRUE BECAUSE THAT WOMAN LEFT AND THIS LADY STAYED AND
SAT DOWN AND HAD DINNER.
SHE HAD MOONS OVER MY HAMMY.
DELICIOUS BY THE WAY.
THAT BEGS THE QUESTION OF WHAT YOU DO WITH THIS WOMAN
WHOSE NAME WE WILL LEAVE OUT AND ERIC SCHLOSSBERG, THE GUY IN NEW
YORK, I AM THINKING OF DENNY'S APPARENTLY, THE MAN WHO HAS HAD
THREE VIDEO OF INCIDENCES OF CONFRONTING PEOPLE WOULD SUGGEST
THAT MAYBE THERE WERE A FEW THAT WERE NOT CAUGHT ON TAPE.
HE IS A SERIAL RACIST.
SO HE HAS LOST, HE HAS BEEN KICKED OUT OF HIS OFFICE.
HE
HAS HAD HIS, I DON'T KNOW IF HIS HOME ADDRESS GOT OUT THERE, BUT
HIS LAW FIRM ADDRESS DID.
GOOD DECENT PEOPLE WERE LIKE I AM NOT
COMFORTABLE WITH THAT PART OF THIS STORY.
YOU ARE ALSO NOT COMFORTABLE WITH THAT.
IF YOU SAY, HEY, THE OFFICES MAY BE SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT BUT
DON'T GO TO PEOPLE'S HOMES.
DON'T DO THAT.
THEY SENT A
MARIACHI BAND TO HIS OFFICE, THAT IS FUNNY.
THAT'S
FUNNY.
THAT'S THE KIND OF THING BRIAN KEMP WOULD DO.
DON'T
STOCK PEOPLE, THIS WOMAN IS FATHERING THE POOR TRANSGENDER
PERSON AND SHE IS A LUNATIC.
DON'T GO TO HER HOME, WE HAVE TO FIGHT BACK
WITH IDEAS AND ANA IS RIGHT, WE HAVE TO SAY DON'T DO THAT, THAT
IS TERRIBLE.
THINK ABOUT HOW AWFUL YOU ARE MAKING A PERSON,
SHE IS AN ACTUAL HUMAN BEING.
FOR GODS' SAKE, BE DECENT FOR A
SECOND BUT DON'T GO TO THEIR HOUSES BECAUSE
THEN BY THE WAY NOT ONLY IS IT IMMORAL BUT IT ALLOWS THEM
TO PLAY THE VICTIM.
DON'T DO THAT.
I AM WITH YOU 100%.
I KNEW THAT WOULD HAPPEN TO ERIC AS
SOON AS HIS NAME GOT OUT THERE I THOUGHT THIS IS GOING TO BE UGLY
BUT IN THIS POINT, WHEN YOU PUT IT LIKE THAT, SHE WILL HAVE
IMMUNITY.
SHE WILL GET TO VICTIMIZE THE POWERLESS AND GET TO DO IT
AGAIN SOMETIME.
THE WEIRD PART ABOUT THAT VIDEOS ALL THOSE PEOPLE
EATING AT DENNY'S, NO ONE REACTED.
IF YOU WATCH THE FULL VIDEO, YOU HAVE THIS CANDIDATE
YELLING AND FILMING THIS VIDEO.
WITH HER SELFIE STICK.
TO BE FAIR, THEY WERE HAVING MOONS OVER MY HAMMY.
YOU CAN'T LET IT GET COLD.
AND I WILL SAY ONE LAST THING ABOUT THIS AND BY THE WAY,
LUCKILY COFFEE BEAN AND SOME OF THE OTHER PLACES ACROSS THE
COUNTRY, THEY HAVE NOT BEEN REACTING THAT WAY.
THEY HAVE
BEEN SAYING STOP IT, DON'T DO THAT TO ANOTHER PERSON IN THE
STORE.
IN THIS CASE, THIS REPUBLICAN LADY SAYS THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE,
THAT PART IS TRUE, AND SAYS ONLY IN CALIFORNIA THIS HAPPENS.
THEN GET OUT OF CALIFORNIA.
EXACTLY.
IF YOU EVER SAY ANYTHING BAD ABOUT ALABAMA OR
MISSISSIPPI, THE REPUBLICANS NEED A SAFE SPACE AND THEY GET
TRIGGERED.
YOU ARE IN CALIFORNIA RUNNING FOR OFFICE IN
CALIFORNIA.
IF YOU DON'T LIKE CALIFORNIA, THERE IS A SUPER
EASY THING.
YOU CAN SELF-SUPPORT.
YOU CAN LEAVE, GO
TO ALABAMA.
YOU MIGHT FIND A LOT OF REPUBLICANS THAT AGREE
WITH YOU, ALTHOUGH NOT AS MANY AS MORE APPARENTLY SINCE DOUG
JONES WON, BUT WHY ARE YOU HERE?
I AM TELLING YOU, PLEASE LEAVE.
SHE IS JUST HAVING A TOUGH TIME ASSIMILATING CALIFORNIA CULTURE,
RIGHT?
THAT IS WHAT YOU HEAR FROM RIGHT-WINGERS ALL THE TIME.
YOU SHOULD ASSIMILATE.
IN CALIFORNIA IT IS NOT A SECRET.
IT IS AN INCREDIBLY LIBERAL STATE AND IF YOU DON'T LIKE
PROTECTIONS FOR TRANSGENDER PEOPLE THAT DON'T LIVE IN A
BLUE STATE LIKE CALIFORNIA.
CAN I JUST SUGGEST ANOTHER DOOR SOLUTION?
THANKS LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR.
WHY DON'T WE JUST MAKE ALL THE
BATHROOMS UNISEX?
WE DO AT HOME.
LOS ANGELES HAS BEEN MOVING IN THAT DIRECTION.
I NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT IT LIKE THAT.
PEOPLE MANAGE.
GOING TO THE BATHROOM IN SOMEONE'S HOUSE,
WELL, THAT IS THE MALE BATHROOM.
