Liberals are preparing for Democratic Sen. Kamala Harris’s possible expulsion from the Senate Judiciary Committee by highlighting she is a black woman.
In the event that Republican Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith wins the Mississippi runoff election on Nov. 27, the makeup of the Senate Judiciary Committee will shift in favor of the GOP, with a seat currently held by a Democrat flipping red. Consequently, Harris, the most junior Democratic member of the committee, will likely be squeezed out.
“Not only would it be unconscionable to remove the only African American woman from the committee, but Senator Harris also is the most skilled questioner on the entire panel,” Brian Fallon, the former press secretary for Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign, said according to The Washington Post. “Whatever options they need to consider, removing Harris should not be one of them.” (RELATED: Los Angeles Taxpayers Had Been Footing The Bill For Kamala Harris’s Travels, Report Finds) Fallon is the executive director of Demand Justice, a progressive advocacy organization founded to oppose President Donald Trump’s judicial nominations — the Senate Judiciary Committee’s role is to oversee and consider executive nominations. Fallon added that “the backlash would be so intense” if Harris is removed.
“She’s a real lawyer, she is the real deal, she’s a pro, and she also happens to be an African American woman,” Democratic Sen. Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut said according to WaPo. “She belongs on that committee … she is an ideal member.”
Democrats have been urging Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to expand the Judiciary Committee so that Harris can preserve her seat, however, no other Senate Judiciary Committee members thus far have offered up their own seats so that she can remain on the committee, including Blumenthal.

Why, it's Rosa Parks all over again (but the liberals won't see it that way).
They'll try to get McConnell to cave, but who sits on the democrat side is not his problem.
Strike all before she’s African American.
What ever happened to “The content of character, not the color of the skin”?
The Kav Monkey Business [can I say that?] has consequences.
That only applies to the GOP.
Next year could be fun.
If not Sen. "Stolen Vietnam valor" Blumenthal, maybe Sen. Sparticus would give up his seat for the lady?
It is the Democrat leadership who gets to decide who sits on the committee with their allotted number of seats. If they remove her rather than one of the white men, that is their decision - the Republicans have zero control over that. Yet amazingly, the Democrats and the media portray it as the Republicans removing her due to sexism and racism.
It doesn’t even register to the media that this is a lie and wrong to say - all about the narrative, now matter how dishonest and distorted that narrative may be.
Yep. And anyone else they don’t agree with or doesn’t conform with their group think..
If she’s dropped, Schumer will find some way to blame it on Trump. Just watch.
Then why don't you agree to step down from the committee so she can keep her own seat? Be the change you want to see, Senator - it is YOUR fault if she loses her seat. The Republicans have ZERO control over who the Democrats put on that committee within their allotted number of seats.
These outrageous, literally never-ending blatant lies are just infuriating.
Actually, half Jamaican American, half Indian American. Both of her parents were voluntary immigrants to the US, just like mine. Her race deserves about as much consideration as mine does - ZERO.
What should be highlighted is her THREE nationalities at birth.
Not a natural born citizen.
These women are pro's too, what’s your point?
And she has a political career because of her formerly intimate relationship with Willie Brown.
BS, she sounded like a blithering idiot along with that jackazz Booker during the Kavanaugh circus.
She’s half Jamaican, half Indian and half American. Not eligible to be POTUS.
5k or 10k?
” Senator Harris also is the most skilled questioner on the entire panel,”
Duh ...
I have come to the conclusion that liberals might be best modeled psychologically as infant babies.
their arguments might best be summed up as:
“gimme, gimme, gimme.”
