CA Lawmaker Says President Trump Doesn't Have A Soul: Report

CALIFORNIA -- A California lawmaker representing the city of Los Angeles called President Donald Trump soulless during a speech. State Senate President pro Tempore Kevin de León made the comment during a campaign speech in Sonoma County last week, according to the Press Democrat.

“This is a very trying time where our soul is being tested against a man who has no soul,” de León said during the speech.

"De León has taken an unrelentingly oppositional stance toward Trump since the 2016 election, perhaps most notably through a landmark immigration bill he spearheaded. The legislation, Senate Bill 54, further limits how state and local law enforcement agencies cooperate with federal immigration officials and has been called a 'sanctuary state' measure, though de León said Friday that term was a 'false characterization,'" the newspaper reported.

De León, who is running against longtime U.S. senator, Dianne Feinstein, has been a vocal Trump critic. He previously told a Los Angeles crowd that the Trump Administration "disregards our voices, demonizes our diversity" and "attacks our civil rights, our clean air, our health access and our public safety."

De León served in the Assembly in 2006-2010, was elected to the state Senate in 2010 and as president pro tem in 2014.
