The Black Caucus? If you can’t make it there you can’t make it anywhere (To paraphrase Frank Sinatra).

Like being told “You aren’t good enough to hang around in this pool hall.”

Maybe he resigned before being bounced to the sidewalk.

...over remarks purportedly made by the caucus’ leader

This is Baltimore. Were the remarks too caucasian?

“Boyce accused the black caucus leader of saying, “We are going to let a white lesbian be the speaker of the House?” an apparent reference to Del. Maggie L. McIntosh (D-Baltimore City), the first legislator in Maryland history to acknowledge being gay.”

“My intentions are not to divide any group and cause further tensions, however I believe the publication of my email does,” she wrote. In her email to Barnes, Boyce accused the black caucus leader of saying, “We are going to let a white lesbian be the speaker of the House?”

I agree with her! Publishing an e-mail plainly disparaging someone on account of race and sexual orientation is most certainly divisive!

Racist, homophobic e-mails like Boyce's should be kept "under wraps" - for the good of the Black Caucus and the Democratic Party!

Re “We are going to let a white lesbian be speaker of the house”. Hey, they already did, Nancy Pelosi! /SuperSarc and LMAO.

If this gets to the House floor, the vote could well be Davis 72 McIntosh 69.

Sadly, the next House election is not until 2022 (in MD, each House member gets a 4 year term). However, when they redistrict the state after the 2020 Census, we could end up with 141 single member districts, which could really cut into the ‘Rat advantage in the House (at the present time, most districts are 3 member districts, which is a real advantage for the ‘Rats).
