The recent death of former Sen. Dianne Feinstein left Gov. Gavin Newsom in a predicament. Would he keep his promise to fill the seat with a black woman even though two white people (Adam Schiff and Katie Porter) are leading the 2024 race for the seat? As RedState reported, the answer is yes.
Newsom appointed Laphonza Butler, whose only qualifications appear to be working on Kamala Harris' failed 2020 presidential campaign while being a "black lesbian." Naturally, the California governor is touting the latter.
Governor @GavinNewsom has selected Laphonza Butler to complete Senator Feinstein’s term.

I'm just really glad we select the most powerful people in the country based on race and who they sleep with. I mean, what could possibly go wrong with such an approach? What does merit have to do with governing competently anyway?
Let's ask Newsom, who apparently appointed a Maryland resident to the seat, birthing an immediate scandal.

You know, for all the talk of Newsom's smooth-talking demeanor, it's worth remembering that he's actually just an incompetent clown. That's why the comparisons between him and Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida are so laughable. Yeah, the coming debate between the two men will be entertaining, but it doesn't even really matter what happens because the real-world results are night and day. Florida is economically and socially booming with a huge influx of newcomers while California is drowning in a sea of far-left idiocy.
Getting back to Butler, the cover-up has already begun in earnest. EMILY's List, the rabid pro-abortion organization she worked for, scrubbed her listed residency in Maryland overnight.
Newsom’s office confirms she moved to DC area for EMILY’s list, but is a CA homeowner and will reregister to vote in California before being sworn in.— Ashley Zavala (@ZavalaA) October 2, 2023
Being a homeowner in a state does not make one a resident of that state. Given that she's not even registered to vote in California, it's fairly obvious that she does not live there and has no formal residency there. Where does she pay taxes? What state is her driver's license from? Has she claimed California residency in the last two years?
Hilariously, Butler even forgot to turn off her location data until after she was appointed. It's all fixed now, though.
Oh hey, look who remembered to remove the Location data from her bio overnight! It’s California’s newest Senator! pic.twitter.com/x90OxXoSd6— Enguerrand VII de Coucy (@ingelramdecoucy) October 2, 2023
Remember the constant jabs that Mehmet Oz got from the press for previously living in New Jersey? He was actually a resident of Pennsylvania when he ran for the Senate there, and he still got lambasted on a near-daily basis. Will Butler get the same treatment? Of course, she won't, because it's (D)ifferent.
Laphonza, Laphonza....the cover up is as bad as the crime, in your case.
Well, in CA, anything goes...so, there’s that.
I read this that Newsom was ordered to make her a CA Senator.
Its probable Newsom has never even heard of her.
This feels like an order that came from Michelle Obama.
Silver Spring is one of the inner suburbs of Washington DC.
She won’t even have to find a place to live in the Washington area, as she becomes a senator from California.
Maybe the real message is there are no citizens in California qualified to go to the senate?
Literally the only requirement is that the Senator “be an inhabitant” of the state at the time of election (or appointment).
Still, it seems like there are plenty of leftist black women in California available to fulfill Gavin’s pandering promise. Why not Senator Maxine Waters?
Forget it Jake — it’s Chinatown.
If Gruesome Newsome finds his way to the dem ticket he’s gonna have hell to pay to the rest of the nation as his pick was nothing but racial and sexual. Not gonna work in flyover country.
Newsom promised to pick a black female, but there must be hundreds of thousands of black female citizens of California who meet the age requirement to be a Senator, and maybe hundreds who meet his other requirements (being lesbian and militantly pro-abortion). So why does he have to pick someone from another state?
It’s 100% certain Newsom had no say in this.
It’s an indication of what a Newsom administration would be like, meaning a nongeriatric Biden administration.
Throughout most of Japanese history, the person on the Throne, whether emperor or shogun, was almost never the person who was the de jure ruler; the shogun’s decisions were made by a shiken, the emperor’s made by a sessho. Obama has been the sessho for Biden, yet even BHO acts on orders from someone who acts on orders from someone—we’ve just added our own slant to the traditional Japanese system.
Laughapalooza Butler...
LaFawnduh
isn’t he Pelosi’s nephew ?!
Nanzi’s dad was the crook who ran Baltimore !!!!
LOL!
Senator Mad Max!
LOL!
Well played!
Well played, Dick!
Did Feinstein vote after she died?
DemonKKKrats can do anything they please. They can have sex with their husband on the online platform Chaturbate and be celebrated as a one who knows how to spice up a marriage.
You would think Newsome could have found a lesbian communist black who happens to live in California.
