In case you don’t remember, Robert F. Kennedy, Sr., served as a Senator from New York State from 1965 until he was assassinated in 1968. Anyone who was politically savvy at the time understood that since Ted Kennedy had been a Senator since 1962, it was unlikely that Massachusetts voters (yes, even Massachusetts voters) would elect Robert Kennedy to serve alongside his brother. The Kennedy family did have some roots in New York State, but had much deeper roots in Massachusetts. In the 1970’s when you walked into the house of a good Massachusetts Democrat, there were two pictures over the fireplace in the living room–the Pope and John F. Kennedy.
Fast forward to California in 2023.
Breitbart reports:
Laphonza Butler has apparently removed her “Maryland” residence from her X account as well as her professional biography after Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) appointed her to the U.S. Senate seat in California, which was vacated on September 29 upon the death of Sen. Dianne Feinstein.
After news broke of her appointment, reporter Elex Michaelson captured a screenshot of her X bio, which had Maryland as her location as recently as Sunday:
However, by Monday morning, Maryland was missing from her bio. (Screenshot in article).
The article notes:
According to the website of the pro-abortion EMILYs List organization, where Butler is president, she also served as the president of the biggest union in California, SEIU Local 2015. Additionally, she served as its international vice president and president of the SEIU California State Council. Her bio indicates that she grew up in Magnolia, Mississippi.
According to the Washington Examiner, on Sunday night, the bio on the website said, “She lives in Maryland with her partner Neneki Lee and their daughter Nylah,” but by Monday morning, that line was removed.
Butler served as a senior adviser to Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign, according to the bio.
Article I Section 3 of the U.S. Constitution states:
No person shall be a Senator who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty Years, and been nine Years a Citizen of the United States, and who shall not, when elected, be an Inhabitant of that State for which he shall be chosen.
Admittedly, she was chosen, not elected, but she was not a resident of California when chosen. I guess the Constitution only matters to Democrats when it is convenient.
