The unhinged Democratic left continues to put skin color and ethnicity first and foremost in terms of qualifications for public office, not whether a person is the best one for the job.
This identity politics is on full display once again as Black Lives Matter officials demand – demand – that California Gov. Gavin Newsom appoint a black woman to succeed Sen. Kamala Harris if, in fact, she ascends to the vice presidency.
Oh, and they don’t want to discuss it, either.
VOTE NOW: Are you BOYCOTTING Fox News After They Betrayed Trump?
“Appointing a Black woman to this seat is nonnegotiable — this must be done,” Black Lives Matter Global Network wrote, instructing the Democratic governor to appoint either U.S. Reps. Karen Bass or Barbara Lee to fill the seat for the remainder of Harris’ term.
“If there is not a single Black woman in the Senate, then the Senate is simply not a proper representation of the people,” the petition states.
Really?
Since when did ‘representation’ depend on the color of the representative’s skin? And consider this: While both Bass and Lee were obviously elected to their respective offices, no one will have elected them to fill a Senate seat. So, it’s ludicrous to say that either one of them would truly ‘represent’ Californians.
Because according to the 17th Amendment senators are to be elected by the people.
So yes, any replacement for Harris would have to be representative of half of Californians, at least.
BLM = Terrorists so Nobody cares what they say !!! Get a Life !!!
When a domestic terrorist organization is the one puppeteering our politics were all in huge trouble. If the next ‘Civil’ war doesn’t start this decade I’ll be surprised.
He should put in a white man
BLM is a racist party if whites did what they get away with we would already be in a second civil war since 2016. Any person regardless of color should have the same respect and same opportunities based on ability . BLM needs to think seriously about their image.
