Racially charged feud over Senate race in California spills into Democratic convention

WT: PHILADELPHIA | California’s racially charged all-Democrat Senate race has spilled onto the Democratic National Convention as the candidates continued to feud over President Obama’s endorsement of one over the other.

Attorney General Kamala Harris, the recipient of Mr. Obama’s blessing, said Monday that she thought Rep. Loretta Sanchez should apologize to the president for suggesting that race played a role in the endorsement. Ms. Harris is black and Ms. Sanchez Hispanic.

“I find it very troubling, and I think that that is not the voice or perspective of a leader,” Ms. Harris told Fox11 in Los Angeles.

“Especially in these times, where if you want to be a leader, you should understand it’s in the best interest of our country to bring people together, not divide them, and certainly not based on race,” Ms. Harris said. “I frankly think she should apologize to the president of the United States.”

But Ms. Sanchez, a 10-term congresswoman who placed second to Ms. Harris in California’s top-two primary, showed no signs of backing down, reiterating her contention that Mr. Obama should not have taken sides in the all-Democratic race.

“I think the president as head of the Democratic Party should be campaigning for our senators who are running against Republicans in other states, or helping Hillary,” Ms. Sanchez told KABC-TV in Los Angeles. “Why is he getting into this?”  MORE

  1. Kamala Harris would be just about the worst Senator if she’s elected-another racist using her skin color to advance more REressivism. If I was in CA, since the R whomever that poor soul is, hasn’t got a chance, I’d vote for Sanchez in a heart beat.

    Jesus, WTF has happened to CA?

  3. The most unnecessary paragraph in the history of what now passes for “journalism”:

    [Attorney General Kamala Harris, the recipient of Mr. Obama’s blessing, said Monday that she thought Rep. Loretta Sanchez should apologize to the president for suggesting that race played a role in the endorsement. Ms. Harris is black and Ms. Sanchez Hispanic.]

    As to what happened to California? Californians forgot how to California and became Lefties.

  5. sanchez presides over orange county. a former republican stronghold. and she has voted with pelosi 97% of the time. both are pandering progs to victim voters.

    she also credits the government for who she is. i do too.

  8. Since Buttcrack Obunghole endorsed Camel Harris, my vote HAS to go to that nutcase Loretta Sanchez. There is no Republican on the ballot because only the top two finishers in the primary are on the ballot. A vote for Sanchez is a vote against Obunghole. I hope she wins in a landslide.

  10. Harris has personally turned the California attorney general’s office into a bitter, staff in the back, nasty place. People are bailing left and right. She’s known throughout the organization as a Bitch. They’ll be glad to see her go.

  11. This is not so cut and dry.
    Trump is a Harris backer. His political and financial support was very helpful in getting the political leg up she needed in 2012.
    Shouldn’t we go with Trump on this one?
