Gavin Newsom’s pick to replace Feinstein appears to scrub online evidence of living in Maryland
< < Go Back
California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s pick to replace the late Sen. Dianne Feinstein in the Senate has been quick to scrub online evidence that she actually lives in Maryland.
Screenshots of Laphonza Butler’s account on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, show that she still listed her location as “Maryland” on Sunday when news of her selection was first reported. Her account has since been updated and currently does not list any location.
Butler, who is president of the pro-abortion group EMILY’s List, has a bio on the organization’s website that was changed hours after the news of her Senate appointment came out, removing references to her living in Maryland. A previous version of her bio concluded with the sentence, “She lives in Maryland with her partner Neneki Lee and their daughter Nylah,” which has since been removed.
In addition to the online references to Maryland, a Federal Election Commission filing from EMILY’s List also identified Butler as a resident of Silver Spring, Maryland, as recently as Aug. 31.
