Letter: Who welcomes diversity to Congress?

Mia Love said that Democrats “targeted me because I am a black female Republican. … They tried to get rid of every diversity that they possibly could.”

Let’s see which political party, Republican or Democrat, seemingly is diversity/female challenged. The best I can tell:

Black Republicans in the 2019 U.S. House of Representatives: Two. Oops, only one now, from Hurd, Texas. Black females: Zero.

Estimated “Diversity/Female Spread” for black and other minorities elected to the 2019 House of Representatives: Democrats: 88/35 vs. Republicans: 1/0. Mia, you gave “no love” and you lost.
