Schiff, Porter urged to drop out of California Senate race because they're White in name of 'genuine equality'

White Democrats must drop out of California's Senate race, or they aren't actually committed to diversity, a guest essay in the Washington Post argued.

Democratic Reps. Katie Porter and Adam Schiff have already thrown their hat in the ring in the Senate race to fill the late U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein's seat. But author and podcast host Steve Phillips urged them to step aside and allow U.S. Rep. Barbara Lee, D-Calif. a Black woman, to take the lead instead, to prove they "care about diversity."

"Time and again it has been shown that Black women are the heart and soul of the Democratic Party. Democrats across the country agree that Black women are badly underrepresented in our nation’s leadership. Schiff and Porter are White; Lee is a Black woman. The right course is clear, isn’t it?" he wrote in his opinion column.

Exposed as hypocrites, Schiff and Porter express "great shame for their involuntary lack of preferred ethnicity," as they drop out of CA senate race...Naaaaaaah!!!!

Why would Schiff drop out? 2 black women split the black vote and three females split the womens' vote.

What if its a different black women and not Lee....like Laphonza Butler?
Is this really about putting a black women into the Senate or, more about the Barbara Lee-legacy building project?

But most importantly, he argued, "she (Lee) has proved to be an effective legislator who can work across the aisle on a variety of issues while maintaining her progressive values."

She has?
Which issues or, bills has Lee worked with from across the aisle?

Why don’t Schiff and Porter adopt their party’s philosophy and identify as black? Surely no Democrat would oppose that. Wouldn’t it be racist to do so?

Maxine Waters?

In other news, Dr Frankenstein has been killed by his monster.

Isn't it great that this woke party is getting a taste of their own medicine? Serves their asses right!

No way he drops on based on that. The only thing that outstrips that scumbag's wokeness is his hunger for power.

I don't think anything gets more racist in US politics than that article.

Or American Indian. Surely they could take one of those DNA tests and find at least 1/1024th Indian blood.

Nobody is born this stupid. You have to work hard to be that much of an idiot.

I'd support Winsom Sears for Congress, she's a Jamaican immigrant. I'm sure the author would stand behind an immigrant black woman veteran who's served in Virginia State House and Lt Governor.

He should borrow from Piers Morgan and identify himself as a black lesbian.

Only problem...Sears is with the 'wrong' political party.
Phillips and his wife are raging Lefties, she was the heiress (until her death this year) from a large banking family, who's donated well over $200 million to 'social justice' and other left-wing ideological organizations. He's an avowed Marxist/Maoist while enjoying the limousine liberal life. Its people like THESE, who've created, stimulated and encourage the social discourse and culture wars we currently have.

I had to click on that link just to see if it was Babylon bee or not.

That’s too much funny since it’s a “non parody” website. Calling it legit is giving too much credit.

I love when the revolution eats it’s own.

A bit OT, but speaking of Adam Schiff,

https://www.cnn.com/2023/11/02...alifornia/index.html

For more than a decade, California Senate hopeful Rep. Adam Schiff has claimed his primary residence is a 3,420 square foot home he owns in Maryland, according to a review of mortgage records.

At the same time, Schiff has for years taken a homeowner’s tax exemption on a much smaller 650 square foot condo he owns in Burbank, California, also claiming that home as his primary residence for a reduction in his tax bill of $7,000. He did not take an exemption on his home in Maryland.

While Schiff has signed documents asserting both the Maryland property and the significantly smaller Burbank condo as his primary residences, tax records indicate that he paid his California property taxes in 2017 with a check featuring his Maryland address – the only year he paid with a personal check. And a review of past comments, pictures shared on his public social media, and records indicate Schiff makes his full-time home in Maryland.

Schiff is in a competitive primary in California for the Senate seat against Democratic Reps. Katie Porter and Barbara Lee, and his dual residency claims could present a political problem for the congressman. Schiff announced his run in January 2023.

Deed records show Schiff, who was elected to Congress in 2000, designated the Maryland home as his primary residence in 2003. In 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012 Schiff refinanced his mortgage and again indicated it was his primary residence.

Los Angeles County deed records for Schiff’s Burbank condo, purchased in 2009, were notarized in Maryland. On one page of the deed, the state: California and the county: Los Angeles are crossed out and Maryland and Montgomery County are written in. The records also list Schiff’s Maryland home as an address the records are being returned to.

Marisol Samayoa, a spokesperson for Schiff’s campaign, asserted his primary residence was in California and said he had been open about it citing several news mentions and a mention in his book.

“Adam’s primary residence is Burbank, California, and will remain so when he wins the Senate seat,” she told CNN in an email. “As Adam has discussed openly many times over the years, including in his recent New York Times best-selling book, he and Eve made the difficult decision to move their family to the D.C. area to spend more time with his children while doing his job.”

His spokesperson also told CNN the properties were both claimed as primary residences for loan purposes.

“Adam’s California and Maryland addresses have been listed as primary residences for loan purposes because they are both occupied throughout the year and to distinguish them from a vacation property,” she added.

Despite purchasing the home in Maryland two years into his tenure in Congress, a biography on his campaign website from 2010 to 2014 suggested Schiff was raising his family at his home in Burbank.

“Settled in Burbank, CA, Adam and his wife Eve are the proud parents of daughter Alexa, age 13, and son Elijah, age 10,” read the biography, which made no mention of his Maryland home.

In 2020, Schiff refinanced his mortgage indicating the Maryland house was his second home, but a social media post from 2021 suggested the congressman was still living at the home with his wife. A school publication and athletic records also show his son was attending a local high school at the time.

A family photo on his website in 2021 also matches the exterior of his Potomac home.

Various photos on social media within the last year, some of which were publicly posted by the congressman, have also indicated Schiff is still living in Maryland.

On June 7, 2022, on the day of Democratic primary in the Los Angeles mayor’s race, Schiff posted a photo of himself wearing an “I Voted” sticker on Twitter in front of his Maryland home.

“On the merits, technically there’s absolutely nothing wrong with it,” said Candace Turitto, a professor of political science at the University of Maryland. The US Constitution says that members of Congress must have an “inhabitancy in the state at the time elected” – a fairly vague requirement.

“It might not mean anything to voters,” said Turitto, “but if one of these candidates can turn it into a larger argument about the quality of representation or integrity that Adam Schiff will display as a senator, it might work to create daylight in an otherwise tight primary campaign.”

According to the left, that's all fraud and he needs to go directly to prison. And if his kids knew about it, they need to be locked up too.
