Prominent law professor Gary Francione has been a lifelong Democrat dating back to the 1960s. In November, he voted for Kamala Harris and Rep. Chrissy Houlahan, D-Pa., who was one of 206 Democrats to vote against the bill last Tuesday.
But Francione, who is an advocate for LGBTQ rights, abortion rights and even a vegan and animal rights abolitionist, was so offended by the Democrat representatives who tried to tie the bill to empowering child predators that he unregistered as a Democrat after last Tuesday's hearing.
"That just made me very upset because it screamed out lack of integrity, lack of honesty," Francione told Fox News Digital in an exclusive interview. "This is the way you fight battles? By trying to insult other people who oppose you and disagree with and insinuate that they're child molesters or pedophiles? It seems to me you've lost the game… I don't know how they're ever going to come back from this.
