Mia Love elected as Republicans' first Black Congresswoman

[polychronopolous]

Utah Republican Mia Love narrowly won election to a House seat, becoming the first black woman to represent the Republican Party in Congress.

Ms. Love fell short in a close 2012 race against Democratic Rep. Jim Matheson, who declined to run for re-election this time. Running in the same district, Ms. Love defeated Democrat Doug Owens by 64,390 votes to 60,165 votes, or 50% to 47%.

“This is a great night for our nation. It is especially a great night for Utah,” Ms. Love told supporters. Referring to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, or the Mormon Church, she went on, “Many of the naysayers out there said that Utah would never elect a black, Republican, LDS woman to Congress. And guess what? Not only did we do it, we were the first to do it.”

Ms. Love, a former mayor of Saratoga Springs in Utah, is of Haitian-American descent and a convert to Mormonism. She gave a rousing speech at the Republican National Convention in Tampa, Fla., in September 2012 and was heralded by party operatives as a rising star.

Expect the lions share of responses to this thread to be about Mormons having a history of hating blacks.

Racist liberal education analyst Alex Wilpon calls Mitch McConnell's wife, Elaine Chao a ‘mail order bride’

They just can’t help themselves.

Alex Wilpon, who describes herself as a “Harvard/Brown graduate” and analyst for Brookyln-based educational advocacy group TNTP, indulged in a cheap and vulgar racist “joke” against Kentucky GOP Sen. Mitch McConnell’s wife, Elaine Chao, tonight. The Dodgeball characters she refers to are here.

TNTP was led by Asian-American Democrat Michelle Rhee for 10 years and established “with the aim of giving poor and minority students equal access to effective teachers. From the beginning, TNTP has drawn inspiration from the hard work, talent and impact of America’s best educators.”

Wonder how they all feel about Alex Wilpon’s mockery of a successful minority role model?

Note her hashtag and unrepentance: #sorrynotsorry

No regrets and no worries. Being a liberal racist means never having to say you’re sorry.

Rest assured: Wilpon can always find work with a racist liberal superPAC…

Wait for Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and Benny to come in say her and Tim Scott aren't black enough.

A majority of blacks don't like gays.  They might think you're not black enough.

I thought they were the party of old racist white men??

Good for her. The more cases like this, the less effective the Dems' Race Cards will be.

Black enough for what? Oh that right, no ebonics, no hanging on the corner with a 40oz, those bastards

This why it was the Dems that screwed the blacks up by having them think they're the oppressed. These so called "black leaders" obama included are the worst thing that's ever happened to the black community.

"Black leaders"....are these elected officials not black leaders. They got elected...and they're black! The only thing Jesse Jackson every led was his deposit slip to his bank account...same with Al Sharpton...love to see their tax returns.
