As a woman of color, she understands that feeling when you come in second to a man with much less experience. So, you’re totally cool with this, right Litesa?
I made a huge Bisstake. It was a Bissstep that I will always regret. I Bissplaced my priorities when selecting Carlos. I hope you, the voter, does not Bissinterpret my failure to select Letisa first as Bissogyny.
“Bruce Rauner picked Slip and Sue… and then still kept her. I knew I needed to make a change. That’s called leadership and I hope you remember this… but not remember this… but… Maybe I’ll let Litesa speak now…
I’m sorry, but I have started to answer the question of the day numerous times by starting, “As a woman of color she understand that…” but I have yet to come up with something both entertaining and non-offensive.
