AP news. SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - California Democrats rejected on Thursday a Republican-backed effort to advance a policy to increase penalties for soliciting and buying sex from 16- and 17-year-olds, an issue that's caused friction among Democrats and prompted Gov. Gavin Newsom to weigh in.

Consul,
"Bertie is the biggest fraud on this site.: He was independent, he wasn't a Trump supporter and yet his posts scream out: I'm so far right I make Jim Jordan seem like AOC and I truly believe that Trump is greater than Jesus Christ."

Liar,
I've never claimed to be independent, been a registered Republican my entire life.
I did not vote for Trump in his first election primary, after he won the primary I did vote for him in the November election. No one is greater than Jesus and you'll find that out yourself at some point in time.

Antithesis,
From your article,

"Democrats in the Senate last year rejected a similar effort to increase penalties for soliciting older teens."

And, I can seem to find the below quote in the article you posted,

"The amendment was removed from the bill because "it could have criminalized teens in consensual relationships."

Completely false.

The bill in question had an amendment that would make it a felony to solicit sex from a 16 or 17 year old.

The Democrats passed a bill last year that made it a felony to solicit from anyone under 16, and a felony for repeat offenders if the victims were at least 16. In comparison, North Carolina makes it a felony to solicit from anyone under 16, but has no condition for repeat offenders.

The amendment was removed from the bill because "it could have criminalized teens in consensual relationships."
