Torristas and Molinistas is a term used to describe a political feud in Los Angeles, California, in the last part of the 20th century. The term was akin to the Montagues and Capulets or the Hatfields and McCoys, a highly localized internecine feud. The term gets its name from the antipathy between Art Torres, Gloria Molina, and their respective allies.
