LOS ANGELES (AP) — California Gov. Gavin Newsom has selected Laphonza Butler, a Democratic strategist and adviser to Kamala Harris’ 2020 presidential campaign, to fill the U.S. Senate seat made vacant by the death of Sen. Dianne Feinstein.

Butler currently lives in Maryland, according to her Emily’s List biography. Izzy Gardon, a spokesman for Newsom, said Butler owns a home in California. She is expected to reregister to vote in California before being sworn in. That could happen as early as Tuesday evening when the Senate returns to session.

Of course.

A big government hack whose loyalty is entirely to government.

Not even a Californian.

What a sad sick farce our constitutional republic has become.

Emily’s List, the left wing Super PAC which previously employed Laphonza Butler, removed a section of her bio that stated she lived in Maryland.

Internet Archives reveal the removed section of her bio that said, “She lives in Maryland with her partner Neneki Lee and their daughter Nylah.”

is it even legal to appoint someone that doesn’t live in the state? Not that anyone cares. The constitution was torn to shreds on usurpation day, January 20, 2009

Five percent of the population of the State of California is black and somehow, a Senate seat is reserved for someone with that ethnic background. I don’t care if one group comprises 88 percent; the test should be their capabilities, not what they look like and in this case, they didn’t have to go to Maryland to get someone this mediocre.

Sad to realize that it makes good political sense for the amoral Newsom who has Presidential aspirations to appoint a really viscious, pro abortion racist to the United States Senate.

Butler currently lives in Maryland,

“and is (hah) registered to vote in Cali”........rotflol

A spokesman for Newsom, said Butler owns a home in
California.......which is almost impossible to believe.

She is expected to reregister to vote in California before being sworn in

FEC filings from EMILY's List record Laphonza Butler's residence as Silver Springs, Maryland as recently as 31 days ago. She doesn’t legally reside in California and has most recently registered to vote (and voted) in Maryland

Laphonza Butler currently lives in Maryland. And a California senator must live in California.

I can conclude only one thing. California has invaded and annexed Maryland.

For those who may not know the Emily of Emily’s List is not a person—it is an acronym.

Early Money Is Like Yeast.

It is all about the money.
