Why was my first internal question “is she black?”

Does she know how to pull fire alarms? That seems to be important.

Harry had better stay away from Meghan for a few days. She’s going to be more than a little upset.

Laphonza Romanique Butler began her career as a union organizer for nurses in Baltimore and Milwaukee, janitors in Philadelphia and hospital workers in New Haven, Connecticut. In 2009, she moved to California, organizing in home caregivers and nurses, and served as President of SEIU United Long Term Care Workers, SEIU Local 2015.



Butler was elected President of the California SEIU State Council in 2013. She undertook efforts to boost California's minimum wage and raise income taxes on the wealthiest Californians. As President of SEIU Local 2015, Butler endorsed Hillary Clinton in the 2016 Democratic presidential primary.

Butler joined SCRB Strategies as a partner in 2018. At SCRB, she played a central role in Kamala Harris' 2020 presidential campaign. Butler was known as a political ally of Harris since her first run for California Attorney General in 2010, when she helped Harris negotiate a shared SEIU endorsement in the race.

I knew that Gavin Newsom would make this pick, in fact I said it somewhere on FR recently. But he should have picked a Hispanic male because they’re the largest minority in California, if he’s playing identity politics.

Newsom faced considerable pressure around the decision after first pledging to name a Black woman to the seat.

Latinos have gotta be getting sick of this crap.

"Black black blackity black blackity blackity black black!" is all they ever hear from Democrats.

Meghan Markle is going to spit her English Tea out when she hears about this. She was hoping to use it as a stairstep eventually leading to the presidency. Yes. The Presidency!

It’s a safe pick for Newsome and done in with the expediency one would expect.

Emily's List - To elect Democratic women in favor of abortion rights to political office

That's good for Biden's reelection in 2024 because he'll need the abortion issue to help him win the election again.

He said he was going to pick a black woman. And he did.

Newsom’s selection of Butler comes at a moment of immense change in California’s political establishment, with millions of people still mourning the death of Feinstein

Get real! Hundreds, maybe thousands, not milions. The Democrat left didn't love her. Neither did whatever Democrat right is left. Republicans and Conservatives certainly didn't. And most Americans just don't care.

Adam Schiff just realized where he ranks when it comes to the “check your boxes” totem pole. LOL! If only he had higher cheek bones!
