California’s newest Sen. Laphonza Butler became the first Black lesbian to serve in Congress on Tuesday.
Vice President Kamala Harris administered the oath to her close friend from the floor of the Senate.
Butler was accompanied in the chamber by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and California Sen. Alex Padilla. At a reenactment ceremony, her partner, Neneki Lee, held the Bible as Butler took the oath from Harris.

Republicans👎🏽
Something isn't right…..newsom didn't have potential candidates in California… something is off….
so that is what you have to talk about, not her qualifications?
CA comes through once more. Surely, it IS the land of fruits and nuts with an extension into Maryland.
Elect a clown, expect a circus which produces more clowns.
This nation is in serious and perilous times. Everyone needs to read Revelations in the Bible. I'm staying with Jesus
What??? She doesn't live in California. This makes no sense 😮
How and the hell can she represent the people of California When she doesn't even live there.
Gavin douchebag strikes again.
Tramp +putin cil America 😅
Unqualified
I am happy there are more black ppl holding offices but why are there so many corrupt? Why can't the whites be the bad and the blacks standing up to the corruption.
🤮
Why didn't Biden swear her in? Oh, that's right, he's a bumbling fool.
Another diversity hire!
and if you think barry's 3rd term sucks, just wait until the 4th
I say if you have mental issues you can’t do the job . And somewhere in the alphabet there is a mental issue fact
Of course California would set her up. Thats crazy town buch of s joles
Disgusting !!! 😵💫
🤮
Congratulations, Maryland!
Cute couple 😂
This is a very bad choice. More chaos to come.
Not even elected uuuuu pays to bf black now days
Disgusting!
More peddling
Congratulations 🎉😊😊
Nepotism hiring their friends
She is a mentor to Gavin and Kamala so that sounds a little iffy. Hopefully she brings better things to the table than they do. I am a Hispanic lesbian that lives in Cali but don't support G or H. I'd like to see how she does before placing any judgement and hope she was sworn in because she was the most qualified. She was not running for the position and lives in Maryland but has a house here so I hope it just wasn't favoritism of race or identification.
And that's why she got the job, checked enough boxes. Seems like a good reason to give someone power
We'd expect nothing less from California… where diversity and tribal politics are more important than economy, crime and common sense.
Dems 👎
Why is she swearing to uphold the constitution None of these dems do !!!!! Where was she sworn in Maryland ???
