Rep. Barbara Lee delivered election night remarks before any results dropped. Lee, who was expected to fall short in the race for California’s Senate seat, emotionally greeted phone bank volunteers at her campaign headquarters in downtown Oakland. She also passed a baton — literally and figuratively — to Lateefah Simon, her chosen successor to replace her in the House.
“There is a woman who has inspired millions of women around the world, millions of women who decided to pull up our own table, our own chairs,” Simon said as the two women wiped away tears. Lee, a three-decade veteran of Capitol Hill, handed her protege a relay runner’s baton as the two women embraced and volunteers broke into cheers.
Sounds like a DEI selection.
It’s Oakland..........To be truly ‘DEI’ they would have to pick a ‘white’ candidate.................
Barbara, We Hardly Knew Ye!
Trying to work up a tear.
She was proof that there is no bottom rung on IQ to serve in Congress.

She[Barbara Lee] was the only African-American Girl Scout in El Paso, and she recalls having faced racial discrimination throughout her childhood.
Lee’s parents divorced in 1955. Five years later, she moved to California with her mother and two sisters. She attended San Fernando High School in the Pacoima neighborhood of Los Angeles, where she worked with the NAACP to become the school’s first African-American cheerleader, and she graduated in 1964. When she was 15, Lee had a back-alley abortion in Ciudad Juárez. She married Carl Lee, a member of the United States Air Force, and moved with him to England after high school; they had two children, and then divorced when Lee was 20. Lee describes the marriage as abusive, and she became homeless following the divorce.
She later moved to the Bay Area and attended Mills College, where she served as president of the college’s Black Student Union, and she graduated in 1973 with a bachelor of arts in psychology. She later attended the University of California, Berkeley, from where she graduated in 1975 with a master of social work. Throughout college, Lee was a single mother of two on public assistance and food stamps, and she often took her children to class because she was unable to afford child care.

A white person CAN’T be a DEI because they are ALWAYS the oppressor. Even if they are a 14 year old white child who has been kidnapped and forced in to sex trafficking by an illegal alien.
She now has a net worth of $1.5 million.
Nice work if you can get it....................
I hate to engage in stereotyping, but I have no confidence in “Lateefa”.
Lateefah? Is that an Amish name?
I’ll give her one thing. She was the only one who said it was a waste of time and live to go into Afghanistan.
Where is that flag on Mars anyway?

That said, I'm glad she got deep sixed. But Schiff is a very bad man and Katie Porter is no better.
At least Lee is an honest socialist.
Hopefully we can defeat Schiff in his run for Senate. Porter will most likely win reelection in her district. But if more & more blacks continue to migrate away from the Democrat Party, we just might experience a pleasant surprise. Let's pray that is the case. 🙂 👍
Bye Bye to Barbara “Commie” Lee.
She will not be missed.
Her replacement could be worse...................
