The first step for the candidates running in next year’s California Senate race is to quietly try to spook newly appointed Sen. Laphonza Butler into not running at all.

It’s just so fucking hypocritical and denigrating that one of two Sentators for California isn’t even from the state. She’s from Maryland and knows Maryland issues - she can’t represent the issues of the state of California. She has no legislative or elected office experience whatsoever.
Hell, Newsom as much came out and said she was appointed just because she’s so close to the Democratic Party machine.
Last election, Dr. Oz was a “carpetbagger” and evil for living in NJ and running in PA - it was a core piece of the Fetterman campaign. It resonated with voters - Fetterman won.
So, Republicans do it = bad, Democrats do it = so progressive, don’t question it.
I haven’t read one thing yet that shows she’s at all familiar with California or the issues facing the state. Just how progressive and LGBTQ and Black she is.
Yeah there’s some odd things going on here. I can’t imagine that newsom couldn’t find a better appointment. I’m starting to lean towards he doesn’t like the people in the field and he wanted someone who knows how to raise money. Hopefully there’s a good investigative journalist working the story right now.
