EMILY’s List Removes Line In Newsom’s Senate Seat Pick Stating She Lives In Maryland
Daily Caller News Foundation ^ | October 02, 2023 | Robert McGreevy

Posted on 10/02/2023 8:37:36 AM PDT by george76

EMILY’s List, the left wing Super PAC which previously employed newly selected California Sen. Laphonza Butler, removed a section of her bio that stated she lived in Maryland.

Internet Archives reveal a now-removed section of her biography that said, “She lives in Maryland with her partner Neneki Lee and their daughter Nylah.”

Butler, who California Gov. Gavin Newsom selected to fill the seat vacated by Dianne Feinstein’s death, had listed her home address as Silver Springs, Maryland, as recently as August, according to FEC filings. She had also reportedly registered to vote in Maryland in 2022.

...

Newsom tapped Butler after promising to fill Feinstein’s seat with a black woman. Previously thought of as a placeholder for one of the three major contenders for the seat in the upcoming election, Butler may have a chance to keep the seat, as Newsom said her selection was not contingent upon a promise not to run in 2024....

If Butler chose to run she would likely face competition from Democratic California Representatives Adam Schiff, Katie Porter and Barbara Lee, another black woman who Newsom ruled out for the temporary gig “over worries about giving someone a leg up” in the 2024 election,

...

Before joining EMILY’s List Butler was the director for Public Policy and campaigns at Airbnb and served as a labor leader for the Service Employees International Union in California. She also served as a senior strategist on Kamala Harris’ 2020 presidential campaign and remains a “close confidante” to the Vice President

Sodomite Black Female.

I think he checked all the boxes needed, instead of concerning himself with the best servant leader for all the people of the state...

Sorry, that applies to reconstruction abuses to the south. The appropriate term is carpet muncher in her case.

I do not believe United States Senators must reside in the State that appoints them.

No Person shall be a Senator who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty Years, and been nine Years a Citizen of the United States, and who shall not, when elected, be an Inhabitant of that State for which he shall be chosen.

Can be from Venus, when selected/not-elected, apparently.

Newsom should have appointed a Reptilian from another galaxy—apparently being human is not a requirement either.

A homosexual negro woman who is an abortion enthusiast. If she was also mentally deficient — like Pelosi, Fetterman and, of course, FJB — she would qualify as a five-star politician by Democrat/Communist Party standards. (Oh, and by the way, Newsom the Vile didn’t pick her, Schumer did.)

Article 5, section 3 stated, “Every member of the Senate shall be . . . at the time of his election, a resident of the state from which he shall be chosen.”

Doesn’t say selected though.
