Why are you making this an issue about race? We had an African-American speaker of the PA house in the 80s.

Perhaps it's more pertinent that we finally have a woman in the position?

Either way, this is not "identity politics" as that would be that she was elevated solely because of her identity... not because, say, she was a well-liked minority speaker for 3 years prior?

They don't; it just makes for an awfully convenient and legal way to funnel money from party coffers, collected from the average Joe Bumfuck Potter County racist, to their friends, business associates, and big-money donors.

And those folks will see nothing wrong with it and keep on donating.

Bryan Cutler is a disingenuous piece of shit.
