Some commenters call for consequences such as removing Stevens from House committee assignments for the lame-duck session, while others frame the episode as proof that centrist Democrats serve personal interest over the party.
“Is it me or is it just gross how often she couches her criticism of AES in terms of "BlaCk VoTeRs" to give cover to her support for the white nationalist candidate?”

Doing the thing progressives constantly get accused of doing (we don’t) can’t make this shit up
-
The past several months have shown that lots of the centrists on here owe Kat a massive apology.
-
That is a true punishment that fits her crime.
-
K
she loves appropriating any community she’s not apart of to tear him down
-

You were classy, Kat, and people will remember that.
-
Gonna start calling her Haley Fetterwoman
-
Is it me or is it just gross how often she couches her criticism of AES in terms of "BlaCk VoTeRs" to give cover to her support for the white nationalist candidate?
-
Waiting for the apologies from everyone who said it was a big mistake to pick El Sayed over Stevens.
-
When progressives say that there really isn't much daylight between the Dem establishment and the GOP, this is what we're talking about. This is the candidate Schumer wanted, not in spite of the fact that she's a shitty Democrat but directly because of it. This is why they all have to go.
-
She and Fetterman need to go fuck off with Sinema. I think it’s worth looking into how much she was paid. 7 zeroes at least.
-
Having worked on a number of campaigns in Michigan, I’ve met her numerous times. One of the fakest people in the game. Not an ounce of real sincerity or heart. Absolute fucking grifter.
-
I just think she is showing what she really is and what she would have done as soon as she was sworn in as a senator. How many others are there?
-
The idea that she believes the Republican is going to help black people is insane.
-
Stevens should be stripped of her committee assignments. Yes, it’s just for the lame duck session but do it anyway.
-
Every centrist. MLK said white moderates were as bad for civil rights as the Klan. And then for some reason we allowed them to take over our Party despite MLK very clearly explaining, in writing, why they were so bad. But in 1992 they took power in a bizarre election. Now look at us!
-
Centrist Dems proving yet again they're in it for personal gain and power. She would have been a MAGA useful idiot for decades if she had become senator. This is the behavior of a mercenary. Not someone who'd fight for constituents.
-
“Centrist” Dems have always been the first ones to sell out the Democratic Party.
-
She’s gonna be on Fox News on a weekly basis for the next 5 years as a “former Democrat” speaking out against the party until the network just fades on her as people forget why she became a personality in the first place
-
Weird that when all these politicians say they’re putting country over party, that country is always Israel, not the US.
-
For the primary, I talked two people out of voting for Stevens and for Abdul ***in the car on the way to the voting center*** Both of those people messaged me this morning to thank me 😅 I wish I could have voted for you, @katmabu.bsky.social !!!

R
Never has a politician offered such a clear justification for her own defeat in a primary. Good riddance.
-
As a son of the great state of Michigan, I hereby revoke Haley Stevens' Michigan citizenship. She is now from Toledo, Ohio.
-
Just a reminder that corporate media never covered the extremists whose support Rogers welcomed.
-
Yes, tell us all about how you endorsed your primary opponent after you lost, and went out to campaign for him in the name of unity and defeating Republican fascism.
