Gov. Newsom claimed that he was just going to appoint a temporary seat-warmer to the Senate seat held by Sen. Dianne Feinstein. As one might expect of a politician with a valuable commodity on his hands, he was lying.
As Gov. Rod Blagojevich once observed, “I’ve got this thing, and it’s f_____ golden. I’m just not giving it up for f____ nothing. It’s a f____ valuable thing, you just don’t give it away for nothing. If I don’t get what I want … I’ll just take the Senate seat myself.”
Following the Blago playbook, Gov. Newsom didn’t give up Feinstein’s Senate seat for nothing either.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom will appoint EMILY’s List President Laphonza Butler to fill the seat of the late Sen. Dianne Feinstein, elevating the head of a fundraising juggernaut that works to elect Democratic women who support abortion rights, according to a person familiar with the decision.
Butler is a veteran organizer and well-known in Newsom’s orbit. He contemplated hiring the Southern Mississippi native to be his first chief of staff, and she was a one-time partner in the San Francisco-based consulting firm, now known as Bearstar Strategies, with his top political advisers. She has remained a confidant of Vice President Kamala Harris, after serving as a senior strategist on her 2020 presidential campaign.
Gov. Newsom gets to do a major favor for SEIU California, Emily’s List and put a major political ally whom he considered for his chief-of-staff into the Senate. There are a lot of very useful and lucrative connections there that would be helpful for a man who, and I’m just speculating wildly here, might have plans to become president.
And he avoids any of the criticism for it because she’s also a black lesbian.
Rep. Adam Schiff and Rep. Katie Porter will now have the thankless task of running against a black lesbian. Rep. Barbara Lee got the Congressional Black Caucus to sign on to a demand letter that Newsom give her the job, but not being a lesbian, Lee also loses.
This wouldn’t be that big of a deal if Gov. Newsom had kept his word an appointed a placeholder who wouldn’t actually run. But Newsom, as usual, lied.
The announcement was expected to come Monday, and an adviser to the governor, Anthony York, told POLITICO that Newsom is making his appointment without putting limitations or preconditions on his pick running for the seat in 2024. That means Butler could decide to join the sprawling and competitive field of Democratic contenders seeking to succeed Feinstein, with special elections now layered on top of the March primary and November runoff.
Newsom screwed Rep. Schiff, Porter, Lee and a variety of California congresspeople who wanted the Senate seat, while rewarding power brokers. It’s the move you expect from a player who wants higher office and who is term limited in his own state anyway.
That was some interesting politics. What struck me was that it was a tricky way for Newsom to get the heat from Lee off himself.
Also, if Lee and Butler split the black vote that might help some of the other candidates. Not that there is that much of a black vote left in California any more.
Did you know that lezzie, Butler, lives in some crappy North Eastern state? She sez she’ll move to CA for her job. One of these days.
Lucky us.
She considers her endorsement of Heels Up Harris and Hitlery Clinthog a “career move,” according to her Farcebook page. Whatever that means. We both know how bizarre and irrational Dirtbagocrat lefties are.
The ugly cunt endorses gun confiscation even though she has a gun permit. She endorses draconian global climate warming change policies, tax increases, abortion at the minute of birth and every deranged leftist agenda imaginable.
Greasehead Newscum is trying to be the Anti-Christ.
Stay classy, JB.
Stay gay, Dickshorn.
Have to wonder it’s not racist when a Gov. says he will appoint a Black Woman, but not the most qualified?
You are mistaken. For Democrats, being a female, black, lesbian is the highest qualification. Merit is just a white supremacist concept used to oppress people of color. Get with the program, man.
No need to wonder. It’s sexist, too.
And still blacks and women pretend they’re oppressed when they’re definitely privileged and pampered.
America is in a moribund state, no pun intended.
When her chief prerequisite was the color of her skin followed by her sex, one doesn’t need to wonder if she was a Democrat or Republican appointee.
And a dyke. That scores points with the Dirtbagocrats.
SEIU = Corruption Central
One more tangential tidbit: for an insurance broker to have the account of such a union is a nice plum, presumably rewarded to politically reliable insurance brokers. That never occurred to me before.
Anyone appointed by a Democrat should be reviewed with suspicion
Or hanged until dead.
Ah yes … another simian community organizer to govern us better …. and her name is Laphonza Butler …. Anyone ever hear of the name “Laphonza” … that’s a name that one would make up in a statement of parody.
