VA-GOV: GOP Candidate Says Black Democratic Opponent Is 'Not For All Virginians'

[RandySF]

Republican gubernatorial candidate Amanda Chase questioned whether one of her Democratic opponents is for “ALL Virginians” on Thursday, immediately after noting that state Sen. Jennifer McClellan is vice chairwoman of the Virginia Legislative Black Caucus.

“If you thought Ralph Northam was bad wait to you see the McClellan agenda,” the GOP state senator wrote on Facebook. “She serves as vice-chair of the Virginia Legislative Black Caucus. One thing you can be sure of ― she is NOT for ALL Virginians.”

Chase also said she was “sick and tired of ALL of the identity politics” and lamented that the governor’s race was “shaping up to be ALL about who will be the best female for Governor.”

Chase deleted her post, but the site Blue Virginia captured a screenshot.

The post went up the same day that McClellan jumped into the 2021 governor’s race. So far, her competition for the Democratic nomination is state Del. Jennifer Carroll Foy, who is also Black. More candidates are expected to join the field, with the biggest question over whether former Gov. Terry McAuliffe ― who remains popular ― will run.

3. The ignorance, the laziness, the media dishonesty...it burns

The fucking Retrumplican Party, that is 99% white, accusing other people of being guilty of "identity politics".

Holy Dipshits Batman!

You'd think peoples heads would explode with that kind of disconnect, or at least someone in the media would say; "wait... what"?

There's a party that is definitely playing identity politics, but it's not the Dems.

How hard is that to figure out media? The stats and numbers are right in front of you.
