Last night it was announced that Californian Governor Gavin Newsom had decided to appoint Laphonza Butler to fill Dianne Feinstein's Senate seat. The only problem with the pick of Butler is, of course ... that she doesn't live in California.
Today, Butler has officially acknowledged and accepted the nomination. Of course, all of the Lefty accounts are heaping praise on her, because she's on their team so of course they are.
The responses from the Right side of the aisle are, as one might expect, less congratulatory and more interested in pointing out the peculiarity of the circumstances surrounding Butler's appointment.
Ashlee Lee (@ashlee_leeee) ~ Imagine the outrage if a Republican governor appointed the leader of the NRA to a Senate seat. 🤯🤯🤯
Dan Goldwasser (@dgoldwas) ~ Not gonna move back to CA though, right?

You're from Maryland.
In fairness, Maryland and California are practically next to each other, so who's going to quibble?
Calamity Jen (@realCalamityJen) ~ LOL!
Oh ... they're not practically right next to each other?! Who knew?!
Never forget (@kathy25932350) ~ Unless she gets a better gig in another state then she’s out of there, again.
Hard to argue - incoming Senator Laphonza Butler's state affiliations and allegiances do seem to be up for grabs to whoever provides the most interesting offer.
The New Yawk Times: All the news that’s not. (@SherrilynJ77881) ~ {Replying to @LaphonzaB and @GavinNewsom} Do you really live and vote in Maryland?
And have never held elected office?
And are you embarrassed?
Wouldn't it be nice if Newsom had asked these questions?
strallweat (@strallweat) ~ I like that no one in California had the qualifications for this job. Says a lot about that state.
Wow ... California really is a sh!thole if this is the best Newsom can drag out of the cesspool.
As if we didn't already know more than enough about how California is run these days before this.
Bojac (@HeartlessBojac) ~ Didn’t know Gavin could nominate a third MD Senator.
Strange times indeed!
Now no one is saying you have to be a California resident to be appointed to the Senate in California, this is all we assume perfectly legal. But as in so many cases what is legal and what is right just don't seem to be syncing up here. Congratulations, California. This is what you voted for, and now this is what you're getting.
