[FrontPage] The Left's identity politics are really about politics, not identity.
California State Sen. Scott Wiener, a politician best noted for his radical LGBTQ positions, who happens to be Jewish, didn’t get the nod from Pelosi to replace her in Congress. Instead Pelosi picked a Chinese Communist-linked immigrant, Connie Chan, a member of the famously corrupt San Francisco Board of Supervisors, to succeed her.
Chan and Wiener have both come out against Israel with Wiener, knowing that it’s a particular political weakness in an increasingly antisemitic party, falsely accused Israel of ‘genocide’ for fighting Hamas, promised to vote against military funding, not to take money from AIPAC, yadda, yadda, but that’s still not good enough.
Progressive congressional candidate Scott Wiener can’t catch a break in super-woke San Francisco.
The leading candidate to win Nancy Pelosi’s seat in Congress was chased away from the city’s Pride March on Friday by an angry mob — a day after footage surfaced of pro-Palestinian agitator berating him inside a restaurant…
The person shouted that Wiener “stopped being queer the moment he started supporting Israel.”
That line is incredibly telling because it shows the left defines ‘queer’ not as a sexual orientation, but as a political orientation. (Much like black, just ask Larry Elder.)
