FROM LOS ANGELES TIMES
Leandra Blades visited Washington this week for a self-described girl’s trip to spend time with friends and sightsee.
It was like a slumber party with wine, said Blades, who was recently elected to the Placentia-Yorba Linda Unified Board of Education in Orange County, in an interview streamed online.
Except that two days into the sojourn, Blades and her friends attended the rally of Trump supporters that culminated in the attack on the U.S. Capitol in which five people were killed and the nation’s democratic foundation was shaken to its core.
Blades, who denies entering the Capitol or participating in the violence, is one of at least two Southern California officials facing calls to resign because of her presence at the event. An online petition calling for her to step down had nearly 2,800 signatures as of Saturday afternoon.
Martinez announced her intent to participate in the rally on Twitter alongside multiple tweets questioning the legitimacy of the presidential election and branding Republicans who accepted the result as “traitors.” On Wednesday morning, she also uploaded a clip of video footage from the rally.
There is calls to censure Martinez, County Supervisor Janice Hahn also added her voice to those calling for Martinez’s censure.
“Any attempt to delay or prevent the peaceful transfer of power is a threat to our democracy and there must be consequences,” Hahn said Friday in a statement.

Martinez’ former actions do not square with her denial that she was at the rally.
In six tweets posted, she responded to tweets such as saying Somalia-born Rep, Ilhan Omar, D-Minneapolis, “can go back wherever she came from and REALLY be a victim” or saying about U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Massachusetts, “President Pocahontas? She needs a Wigwam not the white house.”

We have a right as Americans to participate in rally’s, marches, etc. we do not need to apologize because we want to be part of a group of citizens who are voicing their constitutional right of what they believe. The physical violence was appalling. It should’ve never happened, if she indeed perpetrated any violence then absolutely she should be charged, but not just because she was there. It was her right. It truly disgusts me how un-American our country has become if we proclaim to be a conservative or a trump supporter. We have become a country that hates opposition of any sort, no tolerance at all for a different point of view. We condone unspeakable acts against the defenseless. We are literally calling “Evil good and Good evil. ” As the scriptures states in Eccl 8:11
“Because the sentence against an evil deed is not executed speedily, the heart of the children of man is fully set to do evil.”
