SERIOUS (?) RECALL ATTEMPT AGAINST REP. AISHA WAHAB

By Bob Walsh

 

California Senator Aisha Wahab Faces Islamophobic Slurs for Anti-Caste Bill

 

Regular readers will remember I wrote recently about a legislative proposal in the formerly great state of California to legally outlaw discrimination based on "Caste" within the state.  I expressed curiosity that this was even an issue.

Well, apparently State Senator Wahab has so irritated some of the people within the 17th District with her proposal of SB 403 that a maybe serious recall attempt has been launched against her.  A LOT of those in opposition are members of the significant bay area Hindu community. One of the principle opposition members is a former congressional candidate Ritesh Tandon.  He is an engineer in the south bay and has never identified with any caste either in India or here.  

Wahab is the first Afghan-American woman elected to public office in the U. S. and has cited several alleged instances of caste discrimination within the formerly great state of California.

Tandon asserts that the recall is not even primarily about SB 403 but is due to voter dissatisfaction and her job failure.

Wahab's supporters are the usual suspects.  Radical pro-choice psychopaths, unions, and various left wing party hacks.  This is a significant power base within California.
