Black Female Politicians Behaving Badly

In this Revolver News article, the outlet argues that Kamala Harris’s recent remarks urging Black women in politics to become more “transactional” reinforce conservative criticism of identity-driven Democratic politics and corruption scandals.

• Revolver frames Harris’s comment that Black women in politics should say “I’m gonna get mine also” as politically revealing rather than inspirational.
• The article connects her remarks to a broader conservative critique that some Democratic officials have treated public office as a personal or family enrichment vehicle.
• Revolver cites a viral X post listing allegations, investigations, indictments, or past convictions involving several Black Democratic women in politics.
• The article references figures including Cori Bush, Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, Louise Lucas, Ayanna Pressley, Maxine Waters, Ilhan Omar, Jahana Hayes, Jasmine Crockett, Sheila Jackson Lee, and Corrine Brown.
• The piece notes that some of the claims are proven while others remain allegations or ongoing investigations.
• Revolver highlights the reported FBI raid connected to Virginia State Sen. Louise Lucas as a recent example feeding the article’s broader argument.
• The article reprises Revolver’s previous criticism of DEI-driven political advancement, arguing that Democrats have elevated identity and “representation” over merit and accountability.
• Revolver contends that voters should become “transactional” too by asking whether these politicians are delivering safer cities, better schools, cleaner government, and stronger communities.
• The article closes by arguing that “I’m gonna get mine” may be honest, but it is a damaging slogan for Democrats trying to present themselves as public servants.
