‘Moderate’ California Governor Candidate Weaponized the Law Against Conservatives on Abortion, Transgender Ideology
7th June 2026
To hear the legacy media tell it, the sensible “middle-of-the-road” and “centrist” Xavier Becerra is likely to proceed to the runoff in the California governor race, and while he may have been the establishment pick, he’s far from moderate on abortion or transgender ideology.
In fact, Becerra has an ugly record of weaponizing the law against conservatives.
Becerra spent 24 years in the House of Representatives before California Gov. Jerry Brown, also a Democrat, appointed him attorney general to replace the outgoing Kamala Harris. After four years as attorney general, Becerra led the Department of Health and Human Services under President Joe Biden.
Becerra wielded the attorney general’s office against conservatives.
