[@CynthiaMorgan-h6y]

As in any relationship.. when your party / other half changes up on you.. you are allowed to walk away.. as a former Democrat I did the same due to the party being so extreme.. Also the reporter was very one sided . As is soon much of media these days

[@rebeccacanales]

how was she one sided? At least she's not one of those crazy people from MSNBC.

I admire the decision to uphold moral principles and standards despite the potential loss of status and ego. It takes courage to choose the right path, which I immensely respect.

[@d10dozerman2]

I agree with your statement 100%

[@samacosta837]

Great interview, Sen Alvarado made a personal sacrifice to switch in order to the walfare of our Nation. We all vote as AMERICANS!!! Vote for what's best for our Nation. Vote Trump / Vance to make our nation great again.

[@danielmagana7963]

It is already great! Perfect? No. But we are going backwards if u vote Trump.

[@mayakllr]

Thank you for posting the whole interview for constituents can watch and make an informed decision on her party change.

[@chrish5503]

This woman is a trooper, and cares about what her constituents think. This claim of harassment from her COS is complete horse hockey - It's a part of a great scheme to discredit her for having exposed the lies of the DemoRat Party, and what it has become.

[@RARELYDOIGIVEAFUC]

Not at all , they kicked her out once found her true nature.

[@AndypIsntSure]

i'm really impressed by Ashley Zavala in this interview. She has a strong grasp of the issues, letting the senator give her thoughts and pushing back with specific facts and trying to talk policies instead of the senator's talking points. As for Senator G-A, she does raise good points about the power of special interests. We will have to judge her by her future votes and campaigns and see if she stays politically moderate or runs to the right wing.

[@josephyarbrough9316]

You spoke well, Marie. You kept your cool with the obvious partisan "interviewer". I can't say I'm surprised how she demanded you tow the perceived Democrat line. Shame on Ashley. I only look at KCRA for their weather app.

[@danielmagana7963]

The interviewer was a bit rude. But she did ask a fair question. Why not answer the question? Why do the announcement in LA hundreds of miles from her district?

[@jonitawarren9622]

Isn’t this the woman whose staffer is suing her for ongoing sexual harassment?

[@peterpowder8546]

Forced to perform oral. Yep. As nuts as it sounds. Likely part of a smear campaign

[@d10dozerman2]

🤣 Librats slinging mud cuz they are bad she left the crazy left..

[@danielmagana7963]

I was following her all the way through, until she said the Republican party is the party of humility and honor. Umm, not from what I have seen. Not this era's Republican party.

[@kimtran8922]

Republican is the party of common sense for American first. Many people have left the Democrat pary for the common sense Republican party. Democrat party is now in the path of the Marxist ideology. Senator Alvarado has put Californian 30:20 first. Thank you Senator Alvarado.

[@danielmagana7963]

LOL

[@neilwhittenberg3070]

shes's not a traitor, her previous party is. this is reagan all over again. she ain't left the party, the party left her, and us! #805 for trump, wassup?

[@theAverageJoe25]

She was elected by 1 party’s voters with the understanding she would represent them as such and now after being elected she is ignoring their voice and switching to a party she was not elected by. It would be the same if a republican switched to democrat or independent. It is a fraud on the voters. She is absolutely a traitor. She betrayed the trust and will of her constituents

[@jon-e2y]

This was a brave interview. Ashley listened and pushed back, when it was appropriate. This district has been scammed by this Senator IMO

[@budperez2921]

Marie thank you!!!!

[@MarleneKerr-p6x]

13:12 this senator ignores her own key words there, you are a public servant, so your “personal” decisions are no longer relevant when you’re representing THE PEOPLE.

[@user-di8hm2jl2u]

I had to leave the Democrat party in 2017 after I saw the absolute disgusting policies that they were pushing through. We have had several years now to see the results of those policies and it has been absolutely devastating to be American people.

[@d10dozerman2]

“We have to be political” is one of her reasons for switching parties side that’s banning books and healthcare? 😂 so dumb / lame.

[@tobecontunedusa7527]

She must have been polling her district and seeing the future that made her decision to do so. I think they need to be farther away from each other they were just too close together.

[@lucyc1077]

You are right. She was voted as Democrat. She basically cheated her voters.

[@TonyHanderson]

is Kamala Harris elected or selected? after President Biden was elected by the people and resigned, it was not democratic to assign her for the Presidency just through agreements with big voters. Does that mean that Democratic voters were just voting for fun?

[@takeoverusa]

United States edit Both Washington and California implement a two-winner nonpartisan blanket primary by plurality vote. The plan is used in Texas and other states in special elections but not primaries. A notable example involved former US Senator Phil Gramm, who in 1983 (while a member of the House of Representatives), after switching from the Democratic to the Republican Party, resigned his seat as a Democrat on January 5, ran as a Republican for his own vacancy in a special election held on February 12, and won rather handily.

She seems frankly weird, but this is a crappy interview. Most people aren’t political junkies. What was the specific policy difference she lost on, that was “the last straw”? Naming proposition numbers & “poison pills” doesn’t explain anything. What *exactly* do her constituents demand that her former colleagues kept her from delivering?
