BLM Demands Newsom Appoint Black Woman to Harris' Senate Seat, Calls it 'Nonnegotiable'
|
[TRENDINGPOLITICS] 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 Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, Gov. Gavin can't be Bee'd Newsom
 ...mayor of San Franciscoas it transformed itself into Poopville, currently governor of Californiaas it transforms itself into Cinderland...
appoint a black woman to succeed Sen. Kámala Harris
Former Oakland mayor Willie Brown's former mistress, now a senatrix from California former 2020 Dem presidential hopeful, and Joe Biden's wing nut...
if, in fact, she ascends to the vice presidency.
Oh, and they don’t want to discuss it, either.
"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.
But wait, you say. Senators aren’t in office to represent voters; they’re supposed to represent states.
That would be true were it not for the fact that, in 1913, states ratified the 17th Amendment, changing the manner in which senators are selected.
When the framers wrote our founding document, U.S. senators were selected by state legislatures (thus they represented states — and, of course, the people elected the state politicians). But the 17th Amendment changed that and allowed for senators to be elected by the people.
