And when people see that our basic needs are not being met, they're angry," Fors told Fox News Digital.
"I think the people of California — they're willing to pay high taxes. They're willing to support things that maybe they don't necessarily agree with because there is a basic assumption that underlies it all, that our government is here to take care of us," he continued.

That bill has special status in the Senate. Like the budget, it cannot be filibustered, and only needs a simple majority to pass. ...'

He swore allegiance to ISIS. He killed 15 people and wounded at least 30 more. There were IEDs in his truck, too.
