Kamala Harris’ impending resignation to become vice president opens up California’s U.S. Senate seat, and with Gov. Gavin Newsom under pressure to appoint a black woman to serve out the term, the top contender is a radical Communist sympathizer.
Congresswoman Karen Bass, a Los Angeles Democrat, isn’t just one of the most radical liberals ever elected to Congress, she has openly praised some of the world’s most oppressive Communist regimes.
Born and raised in Los Angeles, Bass was steeped in Communism from the start.
“In Hamilton [High School] for example, a lot of the Jewish parents were activists and some of them were in the Communist Party. And so I grew up with a lot of red diaper babies,” Bass said in an interview published in the book “Black Los Angeles: American Dreams and Racial Realities.” “Red diaper babies” was a term popular in the 1950s and 1960s to describe children of members of Communist Party USA.
Bass then spoke of being raised among both Communists and members of the ultra-violent Black Panther Party. “And there were some African American parents who were in the Communist Party. There were teachers who were in the Communist Party. So, white radicals were very influential. And at the same time, you have the Panthers and the whole black movement,” Bass told the authors.
Bass was further instructed in socialism and Communism by Oneil Cannon, an infamous Communist organizer and publisher. An active member of Communist Party USA, Cannon ran a print shop in Los Angeles that published tracts and books to spread Communism in the United States.
Bass even eulogized Cannon on the House floor after his 2017 death, giving a speech in which she called him “my friend and mentor.”
“Oneil was instrumental in supporting my own work as a community organizer early in my life, and without his help my life would have taken a very different path,” said Bass.
Her speech went on to refer to Cannon’s short-lived 1940s membership in the socialist “Independent Progressive Party,” but she left out his later membership in Communist Party USA.
Bass stepped up her Communist ties from there, even traveling to Cuba in the 1970s to meet with Fidel Castro’s Venceremos Brigade, which Breitbart reports “is a communist front group founded in 1969 by Cuban dictator Fidel Castro and run by the Cuban intelligence service, the General Directorate for Intelligence (DGI).”
The purpose of the group with which Bass met was to train and groom Americans to spy on, and spread Communism in, the United States.
“Cuba’s communist regime used the Venceremos Brigade as a recruitment tool to co-opt American radicals as assets for intelligence gathering and long-term political influencing, according to a 400-page FBI report from 1976 based on information obtained from former DGI officials,” Breitbart reports.
Bass was said to have been considered by Biden for the vice-presidency, but her radical liberal record and ties to Communism may have thwarted it.
Already named a member of the House committees on the Judiciary and Foreign Affairs by Nancy Pelosi, if appointed to the Senate Bass would likely be named to key posts on committees with national security implications.

…not much different from ho harris…just a tad uglier..
Can’t get much uglier than Harris
I would let Harris suck it though
Only after she took it to but
I was born in Glendale way back when, My wife was born in Fort Bragg Ca. We left CA for better
life style and cost of schooling in 1997. While Oregon has gone down hill since our arrival here it is still a better place to live and to raise a family. Similar to Ca., the family core of our lives has
changed for the worse since the 1950’s. What was important, caring for family, helping out your neighbors, just being a good citizen is not what is important to the average citizen anymore. It
is a shame the life changes we have made.
Same old same old. That’s what you voted for America.
I’m praying harder than ever!
Prayer is needed but I think that God also wants us to take charge and upend any EVIL!
I have been a christian all my life and I believe God will not help America as he spells out in 2nd chron 7:14 what Any country must do to receive his help. Evidently by the # of votes cast for Biden the majority of Americans did not do that. Therefore, America has doomed itself to go the way of ancient Israel. My guess is biden will open the door for us to be taken over by the CHICOM’s. I pray that I am wrong.
Those votes were mostly ILLEGAL votes but when you are up against Satanists it is hard to overcome. Evil is engulfing the USA
Waiting for His signal
that’s what the dem/lgbt, blm, antifa america voted for; not me or 75 million others did. Biden will never be my president as he won by fraud. There should always be an * after his name.
You mean pres elect Corpse.
Communist sympathizer? I don’t think so, she is a democrat, a pure bred communist!
She will not be able to get a security clearance. Just check the form you must sign to get one. I held top secret/ comsec TS clearance I remember having to attest to the fact that I was never a member of the CP. Maybe that was changed by the dems, if it was I would recommend the repubs pass a law, when they take over both houses in 2022, that forbids members of the CP from holding a SC or being a member of congress.
Calif passed a law that the communist party isnt illegal and is a real party. No popular vote. Legislature voted it in.
So what! You Americans allow the likes of the anti-American squad of AOC, Ohmar and Rashid and now the Domestic tyranny of the anti-America democrats, RINOS and their tool the medias 1 Stupid Americans!
We allow everybody. But you have to follow the laws.
The vast majority of Kalifornia’s congressional delegation already are communists anyhow. She’ll fit fight in.
I don’t fear the Karen Bass’, AOC and her squad of ugly commie women. I fear the ignorant ppl who voted for these horrible anti-American’s. Putting them in office is the first step in the demise of the America we know and love.
We are in massive change times. I have one video out on this with three coming in the next week. The bad guys are fighting hard to not lose. The reason I am doing these videos because so much is contributing to an exaggeration of emotions. I am an astrologer, speaker and writer, been around awhile have seen a lot and feel knowledgeable but I also feel the extreme emotions about these times.
Time to start taking out the trash
Well… World War Three Kinda Snuck Up On Us… Not To Worry… Combine Our US Government Response Of A Declaration Of War With Internment-Camps For Japanese-Americans, In This Case We’ll Lock Up Godless Communists And Their American Allies, And Confiscate Whatever Properties These Treacherous Slime Think They Own In Our USA…!!!! Anybody Heard Of Joe McCarthy…???? A Healthy Dose Of A Similar Spirit Of Enmity As Ole J. McCarthy Demonstrated Against The Enemies Of Government Of The People, For The People, By The People, Ought To Establish For All Concerned Who’s On What Side Of The Tracks…!!!! Time To Separate The Goats From The Sheep…!!!! And Be Damned Certain Wolves Like The Clintons, The Obamas, The Bidens, Comey, And Others Out To Make Themselves Rich By Lying To We The People Of These United States Of America 🇺🇸 With Broken Promises And Meaningless ‘Intellectual Jabberwocky’…!!!! These So-called Democrats Obviously Haven’t A Democrat Ideal/Idea…!!!!
Do not need socialist or communist in American government of any sort
“In Hamilton [High School] for example, a lot of the Jewish parents were activists and some of them were in the Communist Party.”
What is it about American Jews?
Do they have a death wish???????
they are atheist secular marxists..pro Palestinian… they will get liquidated by the left just they way they did in Russia after they, the bolshevik jews, destroyed the tsar
Isn’t it funny how the US government banned the pro-Nazi German-American Bund, but still, to this minute, refuses to ban the Communist party?
Even now, Nazis are persecuted by Big Brother, while Communists are protected. Odd, considering the fact that Communist ideology has motivated 10X as many murders as Nazi ideology.
more black racist marxist trash nurtured at tthe public ti
more black racist marxist trash nurtured at the tit of the public….. like bathhouse barry and Kamala the commie
Progressive decay has accelerated for more than a century, aided by traitors with commie and or other tyrannical upbringing.
Trump just needs to stay in office. He has the military and police. What would they be able to do? Nothing… This was a coup. They cheated. Stay in office mr President. 100 million have your back
The people of that state should elect the next Senator NOT the Governor. and it doesn’t mater weather she is black – hispanic – Chinese or White. Let the people elect the Senator.
The whole “Progressive” movement is a pro-Communist movement. Progressive, Socialist, Communist, Fascist and Nazi are all just variants of the Statist politico-economic philosophy. As such they all anti-U.S. Constitution. Woodrow Wilson, the super star of the Progressives, stated openly his distain for the Constitution and just about all it stands for.
What else would anyone expect from Newscum?
I read a few weeks ago that Newsom was considering appointing himself to replace Harris. California law allows this. There has been a lot of talk about recalling Newsom as governor for his Nazi tactics against the citizens of California – all of his corruption – his laws apply to thee NOT me attitude and just today he was reported as being involved in getting companies that support him millions of dollars worth of undeserved COVID-19 relief money. Money that Newsom’s Aunt – Drunken Nancy Pelosi repeatedly withholds from desperate citizens – all while she condemns OTHERS vast wealth a privilege. Of course Nancy Pelosi is ENTITLED to be vastly wealthy and privileged – so this condemnation does not apply to her.
So Govenor Newsome this decision will truly tell every Californian where you stand in America.
Are you a Patriot or a Communist? Who you appoint to replace Harris will determine how you are looked upon by the REAL HISTORY BOOKS!!! NO COMMUNIST IN POLITICAL OFFICE!
It is so disgusting that these people all want to be the king or queen. There are many people who will not go quietly in the night but there are also too many people who will willingly neal before the swamp people and continue to elect them. Why because they are too afraid of having to actually make their own decisions and take care of themselves. This country must either wake up, stand up and see or remain on your knees and stand in the food lines of corporate domination.
Your right. But how many will actually make a stand. Can’t have any weak knees. Cowards die a 1000 death, but a brave person only once. Trump 2020
.WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE IN CA? DON’T THEY CARE ABOUT THE PEOPLE THEY VOTE FOR?
THE ONES THAT VOTED HER IN MUST BELONG TO THE SAME PARTY. TRUMP WILL NEVER BE AS BAD AS THE ONES COMING IN. YOUR RIGHTS ARE GOING RIGHT OUT THE WINDOW. WAIT & SEE.
I HAVE LIVED HEREF OR 801/2 YEARS I CAN NOT BELIEVE HOW BAD CA IS NOW. YOU ARE ALL GOING TO BE SORRY.
KAMALA HARRIS IS BAD ENOUGH. WE REALLY DON’T NEED KAREN BASS TO HELP HER.
