Democratic Senate candidate haunted by racism scandals.

Former congresswoman Debbie⁤ Mucarsel-Powell accused of committing ⁢violence through ⁢cultural appropriation

What happened: Debbie Mucarsel-Powell, ​a former Democratic congresswoman from Florida, announced she is challenging Sen. Rick Scott (R., Fla.) ⁤in the 2024 election.

• Top Democrats, ‌including Senate Majority Leader ⁤Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.), have been mucarsel-powell-rick-scott-2024-challenge-00109897″ target=”_blank” rel=”noopener”>urging Mucarsel-Powell ⁣to enter the U.S. ⁢Senate race in ​Florida.
• Mucarsel-Powell is a ‌long shot to win. At one time considered a swing state, Florida has become an increasingly hostile environment for Democrats in recent years. ‍Sen. Marco Rubio (R., Fla.) won reelection in ⁤2022 by a margin of 16⁣ percentage points.

Big picture: Forget the general election. Mucarsel-Powell might struggle to win⁢ the Democratic primary given her habit of “committing racist ‍violence” through “cultural appropriation,” in the parlance of the radical left.

• A Washington‌ Free Beacon analysis determined that⁤ the former congresswoman ⁤has problematically‍ appropriated​ both iterations ‍of Indian culture—dots and feathers—by wearing costumes ⁢most liberals would describe as racist if ⁢a ⁤Republican wore them.

As a member of Congress in 2019, Mucarsel-Powell appeared to enjoy her colleague Rep. Steve Cohen’s (D., ⁢Tenn.) cheap ⁣stunt involving fried chicken, which ‌two of America’s most⁢ prominent black women denounced as “racially insensitive.”

Why it matters: It doesn’t really. The Free Beacon defended Mucarsel-Powell’s fetish for cultural appropriation because ⁤America is ‌a ‍free country. Nevertheless,‍ the‌ Democratic ⁢Party and its supporters are constantly whining about this crap, so maybe they will care? (They won’t, because it’s only bad when a Republican ⁢does it.)

Go deeper: For some reason, Chuck​ Schumer and the Democratic Party really don’t want black candidates winning⁣ primaries.
