.@LarrySabato says, if @GlennYoungkin wins, it'll be b/c of white power & accepting lies: "The operative word is...race. That is what matters...There's a lot of...white backlash, white resistance, whatever you want to call it...We live in a post-factual era[.]" #VAgov
Sabato's lead-in was this 👖 on 🔥 lie from MSNBC's Chris Jansing: "Every single person I asked, why are you supporting Glenn Youngkin, it was education, education, critical race theory. I mean, first of all, critical race theory, as we know, isn't taught in Virginia schools."
WashPost's Jonathan Capehart: "I love what @LarrySabato said...It's not critical race theory, we have to focus on race & in this case, @GlennYoungkin, by throwing the word Beloved onto the embers of white resentment. he's been able to close the gap." #VAgov
Speaking to Joy Reid, McAuliffe doubles down on smearing concerned parents, saying parents at school board meetings believe in "a made up, racist dog whistle" and their behavior "sickens me" b/c Youngkin wants "parents fighting parents, and parents fighting teachers" #VAgov
Hilarious. After calling @GlennYoungkin a "divider" who's a racist, would ban *all* abortions, end gay marriage, and backed by Virginia parents who support a "racist dog whistle" about CRT, Terry McAuliffe tells Joy Reid that he's "a uniter" who "bring[s] people together" #VAgov
Terry McAuliffe is desperate to go on Joy Reid's show and talk about having been "a brick wall" for the abortion industry by keeping "my 16 women's clinics open" while @GlennYoungkin would "ban abortions" (a lie) and thinks climate change isn't real (also a lie) #VAgov
Great to see @AliBradleyTV on @NewsNationNow with @LelandVittert to talk about the latest migrant caravan: "No one is driving. That is something that is not allowed at all in this caravan...They have only made 36 miles of progress...[L]ong way to go to get to Mexico City still."
.@AliBradleyTV on the caravan: "They have been met one time w/opposition from about 400 Mexican National Guard here & these 5,000 plus migrants...barreled through [them] within seconds...We went right thru an immigration customs checkpoint w/not" one "conversation w/a migrant."
.@AliBradleyTV: "They were carrying a sign that says 'Joe Biden is for all.' Several migrants that I talked to, they have notion that that is what's going to happen" and the Biden administration will let them in.
She adds she's talked to lots of people from Africa & Venezuela...
Joy Reid ended her show last night by gleefully insisting Ron DeSantis wants to purposefully bring in unvaccinated cops to Florida so they can "breathe on" as many "vulnerable senior citizens" as possible and commit murder via sending them to the ICUs in the name of "freedom"
More lies and poison about DeSantis from Joy Reid: "[T]hat’s the thing with Death-Santis. He denies. He denies the efficacy of masks and vaccines. He’s a pandemic denier who hawks Regeneron to line the pockets of his biggest donor. He puts conspiracy theorists on TV[.]"
"Crimes against humanity? Isn’t that exactly what we saw...with Baby Don Death-Santis? Killer Ron has gone all in. He isn’t even pretending to care about Floridians staying alive anymore."
Joy Reid is lying about @GlennYoungkin, claiming he's "vowed to fight back against racial inclusiveness in schools and says an abortion ban in Virginia is appropriate." #VAgov
Joy Reid is PANICKED @GlennYoungkin could win: "[C]an you explain why it’s even close, when you have a Trump-backed Republican who’s vowing to turn it basically into a mini-Texas on abortion and who’s...whining about Critical Race Theory, which isn’t taught in Virginia schools?"
More Reid conspiracy theories about @GlennYoungkin: "Giving any Republican power seems so dangerous. This will be a huge prize for Republicans, that you -- you know what Youngkin would do with it. He would be one of those Republicans trying to steal the 2024 election[.]" #Vagov
UNHINGED -- Malcolm Nance to Joy Reid last night: "November 2022 is///going to be a referendum whether American democracy ends, whether the American experiment comes to a crashing halt...We're on the cusp of an insurgency" by the millions of Americans who identify as Republican
This is how you get to a world in which some liberals shrugged when Republicans were nearly murdered in Alexandria.
Here was Malcolm Nance saying Republicans "could" soon care out "broad-based political violence" to ensure that they take power nationwide like "in Sudan"
Joy Reid, reacting to Nance's call to arms against the GOP: "Americans have to wake up to this idea that we are not different in substantial ways from any other country and that if we don’t actively defend democracy, we just won’t have one. That is just the reality[.]" (3/3)
