“Casey Flores, a former member of Youngkin’s LGBTQ+ Advisory Board and founder of Log Cabin Republicans of Richmond, said during an interview Sunday that Youngkin has historically been supportive of gay rights. But Flores believes Earle-Sears does not want a gay running mate.

“I just think that Winsome didn’t want to run with the gay guy,” Flores said. “Winsome is not a conservative. She’s kind of a theocratic totalitarian. She actually does care what people do in their bedrooms. And, you know, I think the Republican Party is largely past that.”

Sears also attached a note to the bill banning discrimination in marriage saying she didn’t support it.

That tracks.

She’s full on nutter.

It was a set up and a poorly executed one. Moran, the suspected mastermind behind it and the head of Youngkin’s PAC, resigned over it once recordings of Moran discussing it were released. Youngkin sucks, they all suck.

Liar. That’s not what he said.

He said that “parents should not tell teachers how to teach”. There is some truth to this statement, but it is politically stupid to say. I would also be pissed as a parent if a teacher was not considering my feedback as it relates to my childrens education in the classroom.

Yes, it was politically stupid, but he wasn't necessarily wrong. I know so many teachers who have left teaching because they couldn't deal with crazy-involved-entitled parents anymore and felt like their school admins weren't supporting them.

It was wrong and voters overwhelmingly understood it was wrong.

No one has any legitimacy if they tell parents that parents should not be involved with their own Children's education. We need more engaged parents not fewer.

+1 Youngkin won on Covid normalcy + McAuliffe coming back and acting like he had it in the bag. Neither of those is happening this time. Spanberger by 7.

True true. Other poster right too that Spanberger is a limousine liberal. But, she will win by a huge landslide anyway. More than 7 points. Double digit landslide. It doesn't matter who runs against Sears. Any D will win by a landslide due to DOGE.

Spanberger doesn’t even fit that characterization. She is ex-CIA and has been elected in a fairly centrist district in VA. She was rated the fifth most bipartisan member of Congress at one point. More like a Mark Warner than an AOC type.

I’ve no doubt the MAGA crowd will attack her as a limousine liberal, but that will only play to hard-core Trumpers. Others will readily see through it.

She is indeed ex-CIA, and consistent with that, she’s extremely deceptive.

Remember when she was first elected? Her loud message to other progressives was: “stop using the word ‘socialism!! ‘“

Notice she did not call for an end to efforts to advance socialism or socialist causes. She simply wanted progressives to conceal their agenda from voters.

She is and sneaky and conniving in the extreme. She has no ethics whatsoever. Believe nothing she says.

LOL. Republicans talking about deception and ethics. That’s hilarious given the lying, amoral POSs you vote for.

I’m sure this picture is exactly why Sparnberger decided to emphasize her support for assault weapons ban. If Sears doubles down on this issue she will lose decent number of voters.

No doubt

Oh - so you think Black people should not be allowed to own firearms? That figures.

Obviously that’s not what the PP said.

Try again.

Involved, but not crazy. Parents ranking books out of schools b/c their precious Johnny might see something. My mom was a teacher and parents are ridiculous and many times have no idea what they are talking about.

Spanberger is lucky she is running against a total loon. A moderate Republican would make mincemeat out of her moderate Republican-dressed-as-a-Dem routine.

Well, teachers and administrators are picking some pretty vile books for school libraries, so my take is that they are the ridiculous ones. Buy that crap for your own kids.
