Democratic socialist set to challenge Pelosi after placing 2nd in primary
Washington Times ^ | 3/04/20 | Andrew Blake

Shahid Buttar, a democratic socialist hoping to unseat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, declared a tactical victory after finishing second in California’s primary election Tuesday.

Mrs. Pelosi, California Democrat, easily won the primary contest upon receiving roughly 72.5% of the vote, guaranteeing her a spot on the ballot in November’s general election and effectively a shot at serving an 18th term representing the state’s 12th Congressional District.

And despite receiving only 12.7% of the vote, Mr. Buttar’s second-place finish means his name will also appear on the ballot when Californians return to the polls this fall.

Rules governing the state’s “top two” primary system allow for both the winner and runner-up to appear on the November ballot, even if they are members of the same political party.

As a result, Mrs. Pelosi is now set to compete against another Democrat during the general election for the first time since being voted into Congress more than three decades ago.

“We did it!!” Mr. Buttar’s campaign said on Twitter late Tuesday. “For 30+ yrs, Pelosi’s corporate fundraising machine protected her from a Democratic challenger. Tonight, WE changed that.”

“We’re looking forward to giving San Francisco a new voice in Congress!” the campaign said in a separate tweet.

A Pelosi campaign spokesperson did not immediately return a request for comment.

Use “Buttar” in a sentence: Third worlders living in San Francisco who use their hands wiping or never wiping or cleaning their butt cracks, collects butt tar.

He proved that 12.5% of the Democrat voters in Nany’s district are stupid enough to vote for a Muslim.

Shahid Buttar.

If you think Alahwahoo Whackbar Buttar will clean up the cess pool of San Francisco without using his taqiya legal skills to impose the Hadith on the entire district, you are sadly mistaken.The only difference is that Buttar will have the homeless digging the feces off their arses exclusively with their left hands instead of both.

Shahid is not the answer.....electing a Trump Republican is THE ANSWER

Unknown for now. My guess is that he was brought in during the Obama era Muslim immigration era debacles early in 2019 or so. Web information on Buttar is rather sparse.We know Obama had international ties with affluent Muslim families such as the Obama Muslim Somalian man who was a former US MArine, politically active in Minnesota and in Somalia ( you had photos of him)

I would imagine Buttar was part of that wave encouraged by Obama to immigrate into the US to eventually reek vengeance on America by transforming our country with Sharia law, because of its historical exploitation of Muslims around the world ( or so goes the story). Its like a long march plan.Seeing people like Buttar running for office makes me sick.Imagine having a few dozen more like Talib and Omar in Congress? Yech!

It would be nice to see nancy replaced by a normal, decent human being. No socialist can be called a decent human being.

Cannot stand Pelousi, but the last thing we need in the House is another Tlaib/Omar.

Yep, its the Muslim Zappa Alahwqahoo Whackbar kool R&B look. It will fool many but not us.

Underneath the image is a radical Muslim taqiya toting jihadhi bent on bringing Sharia law and “historic justice” to convert America into the United Caliphates of America. So called U.S. colonialism and the alleged historic exploitation of brown and black people around the world demands it.And the idiots of San Francisco who insist on their constituents walking in human excrement, are the ones who actually encourage the use of our elective representative selection to ruin America?

Not gonna happen.

Put in a Trump Republican and Ben Carson will have the streets of San Francisco cleaned up within a month.We do not need any “Buttars” to represent ordinary Americans.
