Several leading black Democrats are criticizing California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) for nominating Laphonza Butler of Maryland to fill Dianne Feinstein’s Senate vacancy instead of current Senate candidate Rep. Barbara Lee (D-CA).
Butler has lived in California, and owns a home in the state, but lives in Maryland and must register to vote in the Golden State before becoming constitutionally eligible to replace Feinstein, who died Friday at the age of 90.
Lee has been running to replace Feinstein, whose retirement was announced earlier this year. Butler may be able to run for the post as well, once she has taken office, angering Lee’s backers.

Get that man some wet wipes. Gavin stepped in it by failing to vet Laphonza’s voter registration. Oops.
Fascinating though his nominee doesn’t even live in California what disrespect for the citizens of his state.
Oh well anyone he would nominate will just work to destroy the citizens anyway.
yep! sorry Lee, lesbian black female trumps, black female!
LMAO
Honestly, I thought he'd pick London Breed, failed mayor of SF.
If you live in Maryland, what right do you have to Register to Vote and Vote in California??
Sounds like VOTER FRAUD to me.
+1
From what I read she’s a fund raising hack who’s getting nominated because she gets millions of dollars for democrat candidates and this is her reward.
That and she’s being rewarded for her dedication to murdering babies in the womb.
Was this some 4-D chess move by Newsome that just isn’t obvious to us here?
They got a radical communist black lesbian that checks all the boxes. What are they complaining about? Because she isn’t a paraplegic too?
Lee would be over 80 for most of her term, were she to win the election next year.
Laphonza is a new one for me but I live a sheltered life. :)
Maybe Newsome picked Butler because she gives good advice on hair grease?
It's a way to make a living.
Not to worry—in next Sunday’s sermon black parishioners across the state will be instructed by their pastors to toe the party line.
He picked this gal because he wants this seat for Adam Shiftt in the election.
No, not really. Newsom had previously said he wasn't going to pick someone currently running for the seat, giving them an unfair incumbency advantage.
>>Fascinating though his nominee doesn’t even live in California
California... Maryland.. what’s the political difference?
Newsom did not pick anyone. The men that run the Democrat party told him who to pick.
At some point California Latinos have to wonder what they’re getting by voting for white Leftists who appoint out-of-state blacks to positions of power.
