I thought Mass. had a Senator of color who was schtupping Barbra WaWa.

Yes. Ed Brooke.

‘I thought Mass. had a Senator of color ‘

Well, there was John Kerry.

He may have been black before he was white.

I do believe that he was a Vietnam war hero...

Edward Brooke. Also, don’t forget Carol Moseley Braun.

I guess they mean the first black senator from the south.

Dunno about Babs WaWa - but I expect you’re thinking of Edward Brooke, 2 time senator — R — from Massachusetts who served in the 60s and 70s. Eventually lost re-election to Tsongas.
