Politician Derails Labor Lobby Over a Keffiyeh

Union members showed up to Sacramento to fight surveillance pricing in grocery stores and push cannabis legislation. Henry Stern tanked the meeting because a worker on the handout was wearing a keffiyeh. A scarf. On a handout. That's what he chose to make it about.

We can win @TomSteyer without making Jewish Californians like me feel like we don’t belong just because we believe in Israel’s right to exist and that we can eliminate the leverage of petrostates like Iran through clean energy, not with dog whistles about @AIPAC and dark money.
