Mia Love Tries to Be the First Black Republican Woman in Congress

White, white, white. In nearly every room Love enters as she stumps her way across Utah’s 4th District on a quest to become the first black female Republican in Congress, she is not just the only black person there. She’s the only person of any color, unless you count farmer tans.

This 39-year-old, Brooklyn-born daughter of Haitian immigrants and former mayor of Saratoga Springs, Utah, seems completely at home in a crowd of mostly old white dudes. What’s more, she gets a warmer reception here than when she made a speech at the University of Chicago Law School in 2013. Her advisers had urged her to stay way the hell away from the Windy City. “That’s Obamatown,” they told her. “Those people will eat you alive.”

The dems will say the most disgusting things about her imaginable. I can imagine Howard Dean leading a lynch mob, just like his Democrat mentors taught.

The dims in Utah have piled on too. They don’t want her for all the obvious reasons.

I hope the lovely Mia stays alert when she gets to the House. I’m afraid those hags in the CBC (eg. Corrine, Marxine, SJL) may tear her apart.

Harriet Tubman leading the slaves off the 21st century plantation. Any non-White male is a threat to the Democrat lynch mob.

Wonderful gal.

Mia Love for United States Congress

Her 2012 video - excellent comment re "human responsible agency."

Oh man oh man. The Poverty Pimps will tear her limb from limb.

Too bad, I like the way she talks.

More from the article...

Love makes a lot of people uncomfortable, and that’s just fine with her.

“I’m kind of a nightmare for the Democratic Party,” she said at an April event in South Jordan. “They don’t want me there. But I’m coming.””

For her to win in Utah would be a tritium-boosted photon torpedo to the racism thing so big...

I also love this (no pun intended) from the article.

“Love’s effect on the Congressional Black Caucus won’t be to make it stronger, as she has made clear throughout her campaign. It will be to “tear it up,” as she told the Deseret News in an interview last year—to flip on its head the notion that African-Americans should keep voting in lockstep with Democrats.”

+9? That’s great. She was down last week. I have given a bit of money to some of the conservatives running. (Directly - much to the dismay of the GOPe that keeps emailing me!). She was one of the people I supported - a true conservative. (Like Joni Ernst, IOWA, she’s a concealed permit holder! I’m not sure if she carries everywhere like Joni said she does!)

Well I’m not so particular about Mormon (at best that’s a confused variety of Christian) but I wish her well if she really is conservative and not a weather vane.
