Yvette Clarke
Yvette D. Clarke is the Democratic party representative from New York's 9th Congressional District in the U.S. House. Clarke is a member of the totalitarian-oriented Congressional Progressive Caucus and is a co-sponsor of the communist Green New Deal and Medicare for All bills.
In the 2020 Democratic primaries Clarke was accused of darkening the skin of primary challenger Adem Bunkeddeko in a mailing.
"As Democrats, we are supposed to be the party of equality, truth, and facts. But instead, Ms. Clarke puts out a racist mailer that clearly darkens my skin. This is despicable. She needs to apologize to me and every single one of her constituents."[1]
