All of the brainiac political pundits can put their pencils down now. The answer was Laphonza Butler. To all of you who thought California Governor Gavin Newsom was going something crazy and select Adam Schiff to replace Diane Feinstein, sit your ass down. Gavin went somewhere not many could see coming. That somewhere was Maryland. Yup, Newsom selected Laphonza Butler to fill in for the late Sen. Feinstein. Why? Because reasons. That’s why. Is one of those reasons the people of California? Who knows? We do know this: The first black lesbian to openly serve in congress. So, there’s that. Did the people on social media have a thing or two to say? You bet.
