The passing of California Senator Dianne Feinstein left a vacant seat which the state’s Democrat governor Gavin Newsom was absolutely giddy over filling, but his pick for the job was such a bizarre one that even Democrats are confused as to why the hell he made the choice.
In the same way that Joe Biden openly swore he would make a black woman his running mate for 2020 to pander to black voters, Governor Newsom vowed back in 2021 to fill any Senate vacancies with a black woman.
At the time, Feinstein was already rapidly deteriorating and it was clear that she wouldn’t even be able to finish out her term so Newsom knew it was very likely that he would have a chance to replace her.
Newsom made sure that his new diversity hire Laphonza Butler – a black lesbian woman – would check enough boxes to give him some more political juice amid rumors that he might run for president in 2024… but things haven’t exactly panned out as the plastic politician had hoped.
“As we mourn the enormous loss of Senator Feinstein, the very freedoms she fought for — reproductive freedom, equal protection, and safety from gun violence — have never been under greater assault,” said Newsom, adding “Laphonza will carry the baton left by Senator Feinstein, continue to break glass ceilings, and fight for all Californians in Washington D.C.”
Butler is the president of a radical pro-abortion organization “EMILY’s List” and she served as a senior adviser to Kamala Harris’ failed 2020 presidential campaign. All of that paired with her race and sexual preference, normally the left would rejoice over the selection but there is one small detail that has left even the most loyal of Democrats FURIOUS about the pick.
Newsom’s pick to represent the people of California is a resident of Maryland and is not even registered to vote in the state which she will now be representing!
After the announcement was made, Butler did her best to remove any and all evidence from her online profiles that she lived in Maryland but she was unable to hide it well enough.
Many expected that he would pick California Senate Candidate Rep. Barbara Lee, a black woman, to fill the void – which is why his decision to go with someone who lives clear across the country enraged Democrats who haven’t held back in calling him out.
“It’s going to hurt him,” Fred Jordan, chairman of the board of the San Francisco African American Chamber of Commerce, said. “Those women in South Carolina that gave Joe Biden the bump, they’re gonna be outraged.”
Jordan said that Newsom’s appointment of Butler is “disingenuous” and said he “has not fulfilled his promise.”
Left-wing news outlet the San Francisco Chronicle shredded the governor’s choice, writing that “Newsom’s handling of Feinstein’s replacement was a highlight reel of his political flaws.”
The outlet continued:
“The governor’s bumbling response to the Senate seat opening should serve as a cautionary tale for those who see him as the vanguard of the Democratic Party and as a presidential contender.
Eager to generate headlines and to make history, Newsom is great at making bold proclamations — even if he contradicts them moments later.”
Others have pointed out that the governor’s decision to go with someone from outside the state shows just how useless California politicians are.
Newsom tried playing a game of identity politics and, boy, has it backfired!
Well, Calipornians elected him again so they can look in a mirror for their problem.
Well poor California ts,ts,ts, better start watching who you vote for, government can and will bite you in the a–. Next time all you California’s people vote — do not vote democrats– repeat do not vote for any democrat — surely you have learned your lesson– all those illegals you got ” from your loving democrat president ” your state is being taken care of so nice under your democrats!!!!!. So as said hope you learned— vote NOT FOR ANY DEMOCRAT!!!!. vote for Trump get America back.
Well Calif lib voters
You deserve both the idiot Newson and
Dementia Joe
Soon you will have to leave the very expensive
To live state
Hope all of you libs voters lose all of your
401k and retirement savings
Gov. Newsome is a total idiot just like his uncle, Pelosi! He doesn’t care about anything but himself.
How can the POS be a senator for cali and not live there?
If the woman Newsom appointed to replace Senator Feinstein does not live in California, how can he do this? There must be a requirement that in order to represent a state in congress,you must be a resident of that state. Someone do some research on this.
Newsom is Biden Jr.
Worse than that, he’s a pelosi, who is really a dalasandro (dem criminal that ran baltimore into the dumps.)
He’s just showing his true colors. He doesn’t give a tinkers damn about the law abiding ,working class in California. He’s self seeking and immoral. How sad for our State.
Now California will have one senator and Maryland will have three! Nice going, Guv!
If you think his election or recall was legiitmate I have a bridge over the ocean inOklahoma to sell you!
Newsoms a dem so he’s rqcist and that’s why they do racist things. What’s funny to me is people like her allow themselves to be humiliated and used as racist pawns. Hilarious.
NEWSOM – WHAT A TOTAL LYING SOCIALIST ELITIST DEMORAT HE TRULY IS. WONDER IF HE AND BIDEN ARE RELATED. CALIFORNIA POLITICIANS HAVE RUINED THE ONCE BEAUTIFUL AND GREAT STATE OF CALIFORNIA WITH THEIR LEFTIST IDEOLOGIES. ALL I CAN SAY IS, “CALIFORNIANS GOT WHAT THEY WANTED BY VOTING FOR AN IDIOT” ! CALIFORNIANS NEED TO VOTE REPUBLICAN OR VOTED FOR KENNEDY WHO WILL BE RUNNING IN A THIRD PARTY IN ORDER TO GET THEIR STATE BACK TO WHERE IT SHOULD BE. SEEMS LIKE CALIFORNIA HAS GOTTEN A WHOLE LOT OF UNFORTUNATE HOMELESS PEOPLE AND CRIME GOING FOR THEM. I DON’T KNOW ANYONE WHO WOULD WANT TO LIVE THERE. NORMAL CALIFORNIANS ARE LEAVING CALIFORNIA BEHIND !!!!
I doubt he was voted in. This lunatic and those who owned him, george soros, the WEF, installed him. We had the votes but the morons who think they owned the planet, cheated as they have for who knows how many elections past! I am an independent and vote on issues but since the bushes, clintons, mike and barry soatero, “WE THE PEOPLE” have no voice because the establishment has INDOCTRINATED the MASSES in AMERICA through the public school system and that is one of the reasons why california is the capital of the homelessness! They have destroyed the public education system and are still turning young people’s brain into mash! Tools of the state and their sick agenda(s).
As a former Democrat, I believe that people should be appointed to public office based on their qualifications, not on their race and sexual preference. Oh, well, at least Karine Jean-Pierre will have another one of her ilk to hang out with.
As far as putting someone in to represent a state– well there suppose to be from that state — but you have a retard democrat doing it so —- they play it there way and put someone in who was not even born in the state !! — just saying its the democrat way !!!. They vote for crime, they get alot of crime in there big cities and let there places rott. That’s democrats the great destroying bunch of piss for brains idiots that need on a one way train to hell. Sure hope they get voted out in 2024 — and hope they don’t try there fraudulent ballot shit again. Sure hope citizens watch the votes this time.
In my opinion Newsom made a unholy deal with Obama, in return for his support and connections to get Gavin into the White House! He already had his interview months ago. We know Obama is calling the shots with Biden administration. IMHO.
So another state, in effect, gets three senators and California only gets 1.
Anyone looking at this on either side?!?!
