Black Democrats Furious at Newsom for Not Picking Barbara Lee
Breitbart ^ | 10/02/2023 | JOEL B. POLLAK

Posted on 10/02/2023 5:53:09 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Several leading black Democrats are criticizing California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) for nominating Laphonza Butler of Maryland to fill Dianne Feinstein’s Senate vacancy instead of current Senate candidate Rep. Barbara Lee (D-CA).

Butler has lived in California, and owns a home in the state, but lives in Maryland and must register to vote in the Golden State before becoming constitutionally eligible to replace Feinstein, who died Friday at the age of 90.

Lee has been running to replace Feinstein, whose retirement was announced earlier this year. Butler may be able to run for the post as well, once she has taken office, angering Lee’s backers.

It was postulated by many during the last week that Newsom was looking for a black female communist kwheer for the position. I have never heard of the appointee so I can’t speak to how many of those traits were satisfied but it sounds like Newsom found what he was looking for.

She will fit right in with the rest of this administration’s penchant for staffing with phags, phreaks, and phanatics.

In cas anyone hasn’t noticed, laws, rules, customs, facts, common sense, common courtesy, civility, propriety simply does not apply to Democrats.

Such things are only applied to conservatives and Republicans.

She’s an affirmative action placeholder. That’s how Democrats treat African Americans. Yet the African Americans support Dems almost unanimously - so there you have it.

At some point California Latinos have to wonder what they’re getting by voting for white Leftists who appoint out-of-state blacks to positions of power.

Good point, the Dems treat Latinos worse than Blacks.

Only the Cauliphonies will have a Senator from (D-MD). ROTFL. How can she make a good Cauliphonya Senator. She doesn’t even have any Cauliphonya Sidewalk Feces on her shoes.

Newsom the Vile didn’t “pick” anyone. Schumer made the pick ... and a four-pointer, at that! (woman; black; homosexual; abortion enthusiast).

I believe the reality is that there is a paucity of qualified or acceptable black male candidates. Just review the crime statistics.
