Clyburn backs Lee in California Senate race
The Hill ^ | 05/03/2023 | CAROLINE VAKIL

Posted on 05/03/2023 8:19:29 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Rep. James Clyburn (D-S.C.), assistant House Democratic leader, is throwing his weight behind Rep. Barbara Lee (D-Calif.) in the California Senate race to replace Sen. Diane Feinstein (D-Calif.).

“Barbara Lee is the voice Americans need now in the U.S. Senate,” Clyburn said in a statement.

“She stands by what she believes in, and she doesn’t back down. In the House, she is an extremely accomplished legislator with a record of delivering historical achievement to end poverty, eradicate HIV and AIDS, and work for global peace and security,” he continued. “In the Senate, she will use all of her experiences to address the challenges that Californians and Americans are dealing with every day, including economic inequality, housing affordability, and the climate crisis.”

It will be between Commie Schiff and Commie Lee.

Obviously race is not a factor in Clyburn’s decision.

She stands by what she believes in, and she doesn’t back down . . .

And most importantly, she shares the same skin hue as Clyburn.

Of course he does. A racist for a racist.

“Obviously race is not a factor in Clyburn’s decision.”

For Democrats blacks, race trumps everything.

For Democrat white women, sex trumps everything.

It is all about your tribe.

Lee is trash

And so is Schiff. This is the best they've got for California?

This is why there is pressure on Feinstein to resign. If she does then Newsome appoints her replacement and he already has said he would appoint a black woman (almost certainly Lee). Everyone demanding Feinstein should resign knows that Lee will become the next Senator from California and they are trying to squeeze Schiff out of the job for now and insure he has to run uphill against an incumbent once the term is up.

But it has nothing to do with race, of course. Lee is basically a cadaver drawing a salary, much like her predecessor.
