It claims his campaign effort to court Black voters in Los Angeles-while featuring outreach tactics like involving an R&#038;B singer-went badly after protesters disrupted the event in Leimert Park. According to the account, Steyer was escorted out through an alley as tensions escalated, with protesters confronting security and asking pointed questions about reparations and how \u201cchecks\u201d would be delivered.The article contrasts the group\u2019s demands for stronger reparations messaging with Steyer\u2019s lack of concrete policy details and suggests the incident may limit his support going into the gubernatorial jungle primary.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_2)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Near the front of the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >closely separated demolition derby field<\/a> that is California\u2019s gubernatorial jungle primary \u2014 where only the top two candidates advance \u2014 is Democrat Tom Steyer, a billionaire that billionaire-haters are supposed to love.<\/p>\n<p>Steyer doesn\u2019t have any real experience in governance or in enacting any of the policies he believes in \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/california-gov-candidates-beat-debate-poll-indicates-even-swalwell-exit-gop-might-lock-dems-race\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">environmentalist austerity<\/a>, tax hikes that might even give Michael Dukakis pause, and racial grievance-pandering of the highest order \u2014 but boy, will he ever tell you how much he believes in them and how he\u2019s going to get it done.<\/p>\n<p>He has to campaign hard on those to prove that diligence trumps experience, especially <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/bad-timing-california-gov-gavin-newsom-ratchets-feud-joe-rogan-republicans-lead-field-replace\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">since a Republican<\/a> is likely to end up in one of the top two spots in the jungle primary \u2014 meaning if he\u2019s going to translate his chances into a ticket to the governor\u2019s mansion in Sacramento, he\u2019s got to work it.<\/p>\n<p>In that vein, he decided to campaign to black voters, partially <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/city-sued-rolls-reparations-right-way-wrong-way\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">on reparations<\/a> and other issues, Saturday.

Sheila Jackson Lee of Texas introduced a bill to start the process of federal reparations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe moment we are in is 400 years in the making,\u201d Steyer said in a July 2024 statement, <a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/homenews\/house\/509179-steyer-endorses-commits-to-partner-with-jackson-lee-on-reparations-bill\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Hill<\/a> reported. \u201cThe structural racism stemming from slavery that is baked into the founding and the foundation of our nation has permeated all aspects of American life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Of course, Jackson Lee\u2019s bill dealt with reparations in the most Democrat way possible: by funding a committee to explore whether black Americans should get reparations and which ones should get them.

Rumors of a \u201csecurity incident\u201d spread inside the venue as towering members of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters \u2014 a union supporting Steyer \u2014 inexplicably paced in their orange vests from the front door to the back door. Instead of taking questions from the audience, the event\u2019s moderator announced they\u2019d have to cut the dialogue short (even though Steyer insisted he wanted to stay).<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>As voters grabbed final selfies with the candidate, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/labor-unions-lash-out-over-job-killing-energy-policies\/\" title=\"Labor unions lash out over job killing energy policies\">union workers<\/a> and several plainclothes <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/chicago-gas-stations-partnering-with-armed-security-to-protect-customers-amid-carjacking-epidemic\/\" title=\"Chicago Gas Stations Partnering With Armed Security To Protect Customers Amid \u2018Carjacking Epidemic\u2019\">security guards<\/a> formed a tight circle around Steyer and escorted him out through the kitchen to the alley where his black SUV was waiting. But protesters, who numbered less than a dozen, had already surrounded the vehicle \u2014 putting themselves directly in its path once the candidate was inside.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Two security guards in sunglasses motioned for them to step back and tried to inch the vehicle down the alley. But they quickly came chest to chest with demonstrators who refused. \u201cDon\u2019t you put your motherf***ing hands on me,\u201d one protester said, shoving the security guard back. Others gave Steyer the middle finger through the tinted windows.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cYou\u2019ve got to let him go,\u201d one security guard pleaded.
