Rep. Karen Bass, a possible top-tier contender to be Joe Biden's running mate has had to row back on remarks she made in 2010 where she was heard praising the Church of Scientology.

On Friday, video emerged of an event from 2010 at which the California Democrat spoke at a ceremony for a renovated Scientology Church in Los Angeles.

During her remarks, while calling for peopel to treat one another with respect and fight oppression, she also spoke highly of the Church's controversial founder, L. Ron Hubbard.

She is a totally unqualified candidate considered only for her skin color.

When Biden gets blown out in November, will the Democrats blame racist America for voting against a Black Woman VP candidate?

Yes, whoever he picks he’s just going for the smell-good pick. She won’t be properly vetted on the issues or on her past and we will have a field day with that. I say “her” because it’s guaranteed he picks a broad.

Karen Bass:

"Mr. Speaker, I would like to honor the life and memory of my friend and mentor, Oneil Cannon, who passed away on January 20, days before his 100th birthday….

“Oneil was instrumental in supporting my own work as a community organizer early in my life, and without his help my life would have taken a very different path…

I would like to salute Oneil Cannon for his longstanding commitment to serving and uplifting others, and for a century of fighting to make the world a better place.”

Oniel Cannon with red star on his cap.

Breitbart has a lengthy article on her. She’s basically a flat-out Maoist, and is closely tied to Cuban intelligence. No way she should ever have a security clearance, much less an office like VP.

They will be popping corks in Havana, Moscow and Pyongyang if they put her on the ticket alongside the Dementia Patient.

Don’t count out Michigan governor Wretched Hitler.

Hey Wretched Hitler. Up your game. Require all gas stations to have attendants with surgical gloves to pump gas for customers. It’s a win/win/win...you, Joe, the ‘rona. Joe is still looking for a VP (Virtual Person) to sniff.

Tell him that you were born in a Crossfire Hurricane and you’ll let him sniff your gas.

You have to wonder how she ever got on the list, and if they just refused to look over her past twenty years of statements and positions.

In 2012, a lot of voters didn’t vote for Romney because he was a Mormon. Outside of Hollywood, there are very few votes for Scientologists.

Not many Black Scientologists, other than Isaac Hayes, Joy Villa and there’s rumors Will Smith dabbled in it at one time or another.

The real question is how much of a “Karen” is she?

Will Smith was probably doing research in case he got the starting role in Tom Cruise life story.

Boy, those Scientologists. They can be pretty sensitive sometimes.

I don't even know L. Ron Hubbard!

They keep referring to the VP pick as “Biden’s pick”. He isn’t picking anyone, his handlers are. He has no say in the matter.
