Newsom’s vow to appoint a Black woman to the Senate looms large amid Feinstein health concerns

As California Gov. Gavin Newsom stepped on stage at the state Democratic Party Convention this weekend, Vilma Dawson applauded with the visible faith of someone who had supported him through multiple elections and a recall campaign.

Dawson does not expect her loyalty to Newsom will be tested in a politically fraught decision that may lie ahead – selecting a successor to fill the seat of Sen. Dianne Feinstein, should the 89-year-old, who has already announced she’s not running for reelection in 2024, resign before the end of her term.

“I’m sure Governor Newsom has a plan to appoint an African American female,” said Dawson. Pausing to consider her words, she continued, “I don’t think the governorship is where he’s going to stop his political career. People have long memories as to whether they can trust someone to support, shall we say, promises that they made.”

Looks like she’s Halfrican.

She’s actually a white person who identifies as a POC. It’s Rachel Dolezal. She’s like Fauxcahantas who identifies as a Native American.

They want nothing less than the genocide of white people.

And that’s not internet hyperbole or conspiracy theory stuff.

They have stated as much.

Feinstein isn’t going anywhere. She views this as a personal affront. And the vast majority of GOP (what’s left in CA) support finishing her term as we know that anyone Gavin appoints will be far worse.

I do find it quite sexist and hypocritical - nobody mounted a major media campaign to push out Bobby Bird, Strom, Grassley or any other aging member of the Senate. OF course the rats are all about short term convenience these days, with no long term vision.

Makes sense, merit has never been a good reason to hire someone. Skin color and gender (I think there’s 226 of them now) makes far more sense.

This plan has been floated since 2021 when Harris showed her lack of leadership. Park her in the perpetual D CA senate seat.

Time for a black lady man tranny in the senate, Seat the lady man between Feinstein and Fetterman, who no longer can distinguish a man from a woman from an aardvark.

It really should be a trans Black “woman”, that’s the new thing.

Just did a quick check on California’s demographics. Blacks make up less than 6% of the population, so black women are less than 3%. Why do black women ‘deserve’ a Senate seat when whites (non-Hispanic) are over 35% of California’s population and Asians are over 15%?

Or is it the debt we all owe for the death of St. George Floyd of Fentanyl?

Not only that but slavery was never legal in California in the first place.
