Another day, another Democrat pulling the race card to distract from corruption.
Democrat Rep. Terri Sewell unleashed a tantrum on her Republican colleagues and the Department of Justice for harassing black women “over and over” with investigations of fraud. Her lecture took place at the “Preventing Fraudulent Donations: Transparency, Verification, and Accountability” hearing in the House, where the CEO of the Democratic fundraising platform ActBlue testified.
ActBlue CEO Regina Wallace-Jones repeatedly refused to answer questions from lawmakers on Wednesday, invoking her Fifth Amendment right nearly two dozen times as she faced allegations that the group had directed foreign donations to federal campaigns. Despite her stonewalling and evading answering questions, Wallace-Jones’ testimony set off Sewell, who delivered a grandstanding lecture about racism.

“Over and over again, Donald Trump’s Department of Justice has harassed black women with bogus lawsuits,” she said.
“We should not forget the harassment of the Federal Reserve Board of Directors, Board of Governors, Lisa Cook, the harassment of New York Attorney General Tish James, and their harassment of our colleague, New Jersey Congresswoman Lamonica MacGyver,” Sewell continued. “So it is not surprising that this Republican-led committee is now attacking ActBlue and its CEO, Miss Wallace-Jones.”
ActBlue has been under scrutiny by the House Administration Committee since 2023 over the processing of overseas donations, and Wallace-Jones’ testimony came after allegations that she had made false statements to Congress.
“The Democrats at the hearing posed no questions to Ms. Wallace-Jones but instead attacked WinRed, the Republican fund-raising platform, and Ken Paxton, the Texas attorney general and Senate nominee who has mounted his own investigation of ActBlue,” the New York Times reported on Wednesday’s hearing.

Sewell’s defense of the CEO and her lambasting of the GOP with claims of racism were ripped on social media.

If Black women weren’t committing crimes they wouldn’t be prosecuted….
Stop making crime about race.— countrylvng (@ddaspit2019) June 10, 2026
I’m sorry but your race card has been declined. Would you like to use another form of oppression?

So they want to use their color as a shield to prevent anyone from looking into their corruption.
