Newsom’s Senate pick of Laphonza Butler is all about virtue signaling
Fox News
California Gov. Newsom’s Senate pick of Laphonza Butler is about virtue signaling. She was chosen for characteristics, not character. That's not what civil rights fights were about.
Being a Black female member of the LGBT community checks a lot of the pandering boxes on Newsom’s list, but apparently, being a resident of the state isn’t one of those boxes. Curtis Hill is Indiana’s attorney general.
However, what we see with liberal politicians is not progress. They are virtue signaling by appointing officials based solely on favored identity and not the merits of their character and qualifications. In fact, it’s antithetical to what civil rights freedom fighters like my father spent their lives fighting.
