As for the real focus of this story, Gavin Newsom, a) he kept his promise and did not alienate blacks, dames and lezbos, and thereby totally sabotage his chances should he decide to seek the Dem nomination, b) it’s only to fill out the remainder of Feinstein’s term which is up this coming cycle, so Karen Bass, Schiff-for-Brains and whoever else can fight it out amongst themselves thereby allowing Newsom to keep his hair perfect like a London werewolf, c) this makes no difference to the already doomed state of California but courtesy of the 17th Amendment, it affects the rest of the nation just as the framers of the Constitution never intended it.
Another interesting little tidbit about this broad, from just this past June:
EMILY’s List — an organization whose goal is to elect pro-abortion Democrat women to public office — told Politico over the weekend about its plans to promote the epically incompetent VP, whose approval ratings have teetered around the low-40s and mid-30s for much of [so-called quote-unquote “president”] Biden’s first term. . .
. . . President of EMILY’s List Laphonza Butler told the outlet that the PAC wants to “push back against the massive misinformation and disinformation that’s been directed towards [Chlamydia Harris] since she’s been elected.” The PAC previously supported Harris in 2020 after she was announced as Biden’s running mate, and Butler also helped guide Harris’s failed presidential bid while working for a leading California political consulting firm.
So, maybe it’s a case of “friends close, enemies closer” for Newsom or else an indicator that he believes Harris is on the outs, or promoting an ally of hers as a means to influence her loyalties?
[Nice catch from Ace. I’d guess that Newson picked Phonzie for precisely the reasons in the first part of the excerpt above, except that it’s so heavy-handed and weird that it’s more likely to backfire on him. The bizarre idea of picking a non-resident over other black women in California might even play against him with Democrats, and appointing a super-PAC honcho to office, especially a PAC as divisive and partisan as EMILY’s List, will generate tons of effective messaging for any Republican opponent in a general election. — Ed]
