Los Angeles ‘elected’ Rep. Karen Bass as its mayor. And parts of LA burned down. Now Oakland did the same thing with Rep. Barbara Lee.
Good things are sure to follow from electing a Communist member of California’s congressional delegation.
Lee is worse in every way than Bass. Her Communism is even more overt.
As the Discover the Networks profile shows Rep. Lee, now mayor-elect, responded to Castro’s death with comments such as…
“We need to stop and pause and mourn his loss.”
“I was very sad for the Cuban people.”
“He led a revolution in Cuba that led social improvements for his people.”
“He wanted normal relations with the United States but not at the expense of the accomplishments of the revolution.”
Rep. Salazar, the daughter of Cuban refugees, stated that, “Barbara Lee is a communist sympathizer who was a personal friend to Fidel Castro, has visited Cuba 21 times, and has been a mouthpiece for the Cuban Regime since 1977.”
And then there’s the Black Panther stuff…
“Lee worked on the Oakland mayoral campaign of Panther co-founder Bobby Seale and served as a confidential aide to the organization’s “minister of defense,” Huey Newton. (Panther members at the time referred to Lee as “Comrade Barbara.”) After Newton fled to Cuba in the mid-1970s to evade murder, assault, and tax-evasion charges, Lee she twice visited him there. Decades later, in her 2009 book Renegade for Peace & Justice, Lee fondly recalled her affiliation with the Panthers. “Despite his roughness, my mother really liked him,” Lee wrote of Newton. And regarding Seale, she wrote: “When I first met him, he impressed me as being very nice—a leader always willing to give positive feedback to me and the other ‘comrades’ in the party. I was known as ‘Comrade Barbara’ at the time. “
So now Comrade Barbara is in charge of Oakland.
