Today on the Guy Benson Show, Guy sat down with Carl DeMaio, CA State Representative, Assembly District 75, to discuss a shocking story out of the CA General Assembly. The story involves Democrats blocking a bill that would make it a felony to buy sex from a 16 or 17-year-old. The Democrats claim that the issue is because of "injustices" towards minority demographics and members of the LGBT community, and Guy and Carl discuss the absurd nature of this claim from the Democrats. The Democrats originally passed the loophole that would prevent buying sex from a minor a felony years ago, and now continue to use anti-LGBT stereotypes to block the closing of said loophole.
