This was a California senator saying this.

Trump and his administration has been fucking with California non-stop.

We're talking withholding funds despite the fact we pay more to the federal government than any other state. We're talking opening dams and destroying water reserves. We're talking sending swarms of federal agents to abuse and maim protesters while rounding up "immigrants" in the streets.

Sorry your goods are more expensive. We do know what that's like here, because tarriffs costs are all passed on to us directly.

The west coast is the primary wine region in the us. Washington, Oregon, and California all voted against trump every time he was on the ballot. A boycott on wine does cause harm primarily to the states that were always against this, hence the senator's reaction.

There is a simple way to help the wine industry during this crisis, leave the US. Now's the time. Make it happen, senator.
