Vice President Kamala Harris swore in former Emily’s List President Laphonza Butler on Tuesday in a touching moment for the two Black women and political allies. Senator Butler is only the third Black woman to serve in the US Senate, and her appointment fills the vacancy left behind by Vice President Harris, whose ascendancy to the White House meant there were no Black women in the Senate.
California Governor Gavin Newsom appointed Butler to fill the seat the seat of Senator Diane Feinstein, who passed away late last week.
“For women and girls, for workers and unions, for struggling parents waiting for our leaders to bring opportunity back to their homes, for all of California, I’m ready to serve,” Butler said in a statement to The Root.
Who Is Laphonza Butler?
Butler will be the first openly LGBT person to represent California in the Senate and the only Black woman to serve in the Senate since Kamala Harris.

Identity politics at its worst.
“..Identity politics at its worst....”
Without a doubt, that’d be them.
Useless as teats on a wild boar hog.
The first openly LGBT person, and the only Black woman. But I’m sure those factors had nothing to do with it. What is a woman, anyway?
Laphonza…..cmon man
It bodes ill that they’re trying to pad the numbers of black eomen in the Senate. Particularly because “nlack woman” seems to be the only qualification necessary. Mosely-Braun made it on merit. She had her faults, but, hey....Illinois. Harris and this new one....not so much. I hope there’s a dogfight for the seat next year.
You missed another first…..the first Senator to represent a State they didn’t live in! Just think of the future firsts; first Senator from another Country, first non-English speaking Senator, etc.
A made-up Californian with a made-up name.
Officiating a swearing in, That’s very presidential of Commiela
What’s next?
Californians are goofy that way!!!!!!
I’m sure it doesn’t matter what state it’s from as long as it knows the LGBTQXYZ agenda and nothing else.
Didn’t she marry Kip in Napoleon Dynamite?
I wonder if either can add 1/2 and 1/3.
Yeah. C’mon, man!
By the way, Laphonza is Italian for “The Fonz”, a. k.a., Fonzie, a.k.a., Arthur Fonzarelli.
Instead of celebrating, you'd think black Americans would be repulsed by the appointment of a spokesperson for an industry responsible for killing more black babies than the democRAT's KKK could have ever hoped for.
“...a touching moment...”
Is the article about Joe Biden in the shower with his 11 year old daughter? Or did KumAllah spread her legs or something? Exactly what is so touching about swearing in a filthy politician to office?
Adam Shiff hardest hit!
In true Democrat fashion, Butler will probably be swapped for Harris before 2024.
A phony swears in another phony. How appropriate. Both of the hos need to stay in their lane. They are in over their head. ****head Harris got us into that mess at the border.
