BLM Turns on Dems, Demands Schiff NOT Be Appointed As Next CA Attorney General

Democrats used the Black Lives Matter movement to win the 2020 election and have discarded them now that they are in power.

Now, BLM is not happy about it and is going after a top Democrat.


It has been reported that California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom is being lobbied to appoint Rep. Adam Schiff as California’s next Attorney General.

Current Attorney General Xavier Becerra is expected to vacate the position if he is confirmed to serve in President Joe Biden’s Cabinet as secretary of Health and Human Services.

Axios reported that “Schiff is quietly lobbying” Newsom and the governor’s allies, citing “people familiar with the matter.”

According to the outlet, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) “has given her approval to Schiff’s bid,” adding, the AG job “would better position Schiff…to run for Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s seat, should the 87-year-old decide not to run for reelection in 2024.”

What am I missing here?  Seems to me a CA AG post would be a demotion from a ranking committee  member in the House of Representatives.

From the article:

The Reimagine Justice California Coalition, which includes Los Angeles-based Black Lives Matter leaders Patrisse Cullors, Melina Abdullah, and dozens of allied progressive activist groups, co-signed an open letter to Newsom scrutinizing Schiff’s record.

“When Adam Schiff was a member of the California legislature, he was not only supportive of, but deeply invested in, creating our current system of incarceration,” the letter reads. “This system of incarceration has continued to devastate communities of color and continues to take resources away from our schools, cities, and from all Californians in need.”

“Schiff was elected to the California State Senate in 1996, four years before moving on to the U.S. Congress. The letter includes a litany of decades-old bills attributed to Schiff, along with a brief breakdown of the alleged negative consequences those measures had on society after passage. It suggests that Schiff’s policies helped increase the state’s prison population, make more people homeless, and are partly responsible for leaving some rural areas of the Golden State without access to clean water,” the Daily Wire reported.

So Schiff voted to punish real criminals? Too bad he abandoned that practice.

I hope Newsom takes him, for he is extremely destructive on the national level.  Let him continue to destroy California, which has become a sh*t state, no pun intended.
