Can I Get An Amen?! — Winsome Sears Lays Down Some Gospel Truth on CNN’s ‘State of the Union’ – Opinion

Virginia Lieutenant Governor-elect Winsome Sears appeared on CNN’s State of the UnionDana Bash with Dana Bash. She lit some fires and dropped some truth bombs. Sears’ trademark is this, and it seems to reflect who she really, rather than politicky-speak. Sears doesn’t just theorize and bloviate, she speaks from where she has been, and from that experience, lays out a vision of where she plans to go. It’s a breather of fresh air and is sorely needed by our body politic.

Bash must have had some issues as her taciturn scowl, doe-eyed eyes and taciturn demeanour were evident throughout the exchange.

First, Sears torched the whole “equity and inclusion” mantra, by emphasizing that she is no one special, and no different than anyone else. She rose up to be the person she is today through hard work, determination and perseverance. Anyone can achieve this feat.

SEARS: “Well, it means that, when children look at me, they can say, well, Winsome is there. If she can do it, I can do it, because, as I have said to them in their little enclaves when they get together or in their celebrations when they’re graduating, I have said, I didn’t do anything special. It was all I did, which was study and stay in school. And you can do it too, because I am an example of what you can be, if you put your mind to it.”

Bash was uncomfortable and moved quickly to Virginia’s infrastructure bill. Virginia-focused issues such as funding for historically Black colleges and universities, rural broadband access and funding were also discussed. Sears slipped in some reality, notably pointing at the failure of the VA Democrat State House to fund HBCUs. Republicans are the ones that have introduced a bill to remedy this. Sears pointed out that the infrastructure bill, now law, has rural broadband access predicated upon the number of immigrants in the area.

SEARS: So, coming back to that bill, we know now that there’s money in there for rural advancement. But here’s the kicker, only if you have an immigrant population that is absolutely growing and at a certain point. So, once again, our folks in the Southwest are going to be left out because we don’t have that there.

In regard to CRT, Bash felt the need to insert, “which I should say is not part of Virginia’s curriculum.” Sears quickly corrected her, then delivered facts like flaming arrows.

SEARS: Well, let me back up. However, I disagree that CRT cannot be taught.

BASH: I didn’t say that. I just said it’s not in the curriculum, just to be clear.

(CROSSTALK)

SEARS: It — no, no, no, no, it is part of the curriculum. It’s weaved in and out of the curriculum.

In fact, in 2015, former Governor, who was just defeated, McAuliffe, his state Board of Education had information how to teach it, so it’s weaved in. (RS article) So, it’s semantics. But it’s weaved in.

Sears did an excellent job of debunking the Left’s talking points about how CRT is just a conservative bogeyman, then she laid out what education ShouldTeachers would be well-served by taking some notes.

SEARS: What we want to say and what governor-elect Youngkin has said is that all of history must be taught, the good, the bad, and the ugly, because what we learn from history, Dana, is that we don’t learn from history and we continue to repeat the same mistakes. But while we’re talking about history, how about we talk about how people from the 1890s, black people from the 1890s to about 1950-1960, according to the U.S. census, had been marrying in a percentage that had far surpassed anything that whites had ever done?

When we talk about the Tulsa race riots, let’s ask ourselves, how did the black people amass so much wealth right after the Civil War, so that it could even be destroyed? What was their secret? These men came from absolutely nothing. Many of these men never got 40 acres or a mule.

Let’s try to emulate that. The one thing that the slaves wanted — well, three top things, their freedom, certainly. They wanted their family to be found. The third was that they desired an education. Oh my God! When did education go out of fashion among blacks?

After the Left gained control of the education system, it disenfranchised Blacks especially in the inner-city.

SEARS: Yes, there will be a quality education system. It’s going to — it’s going to represent all people. And I’m going to help see that through, because education lifted my father out of poverty when he came to America with only $1.75. Because I must find my way in the world, education lifted me. Education will be a lift for all.

BOOM.

Sears saved her most truth-bombs for the end. Bash created false equivalencies between measles and rubella vaccines, as well as the COVID vaccine, when she moved to school vaccine mandates.

BASH

SEARS: Well, let’s ask ourselves. And I’m not saying yea or nay. Let’s ask ourselves, if the purpose of the COVID vaccine is to prevent us from getting COVID, then why is it that those who have had COVID must get the vaccine?

The one doesn’t follow the other. There are also people who get monoclonal antitherapy therapy when they have COVID. And it’s working. It’s working very well in Florida, if you notice what’s happening there. And so why — one size doesn’t fit all.

Sears destroyed the Left’s fallacy that if the vaccines are safe, and you are fully vaccinated and masked, why do others have to follow suit in order to make you feel safe? It’s nonsensical.

SEARS: Now, I have said, get the vaccine, and that, if you’re not going to get the vaccine, then do what’s necessary to keep yourself safe, keep other people safe.

I have a question for you. You don’t have to put the mask on. It is now your mask. The vaccine is now in your possession. My God, you’re fully protected. You’re armored.

I think, ultimately, we have to remember that we’re America. Our freedom is our greatest treasure. We love our liberty. Many people want to be able to provide for their family and themselves in this country. Let’s not make it like some other countries. Let’s let liberty shine.

Bash made an attempt to downplay this, invoking the usual “experts” who say natural immunity does not last long. Bash took a dangerous step with the last question.

BASH: But just before I let you go on this topic, during the campaign, you were — as I said, you’re encouraging people to get vaccinated, but you’re not saying whether you are vaccinated. Would you like to comment now?

WATCH:

SEARS: As I said, America, if it’s nothing else, it’s about liberty. It’s about being able to live your life free from the government telling you what to do.

We now know the truth about slippery slopes. The minute that I start telling you about my vaccine status, we’re going to be down the bottom of the mountain trying to figure out how we got there, because now you want to know what’s in my DNA. You’re going to want to know this, that and the other.

The government is forcing us to take vaccines because of the slippery slope. What is this different from checking the health of Black slaves during slavery, such as their teeth and muscle tone? Some people, particularly Blacks, find this push to mandate vaccines offensive and invasive.

Sears continued:

SEARS: We have waiters and waiters in New York asking about vaccination status. Do you also know the requirements of these people? You will need a photo I.D. to determine if this vaccine card you’re presenting is really you.

Photo I.D. You need to show that you can prove your identity when voting is considered racist and outlandish.

Sears’s one-liner highlights the sheer hypocrisy that is the Left.

SEARS: What are we up to? You can’t deny it. Let’s say you get the vaccine. Get the vaccine. If that’s what you want to do, get the vaccine. Don’t force it on anybody else. We know — and, by the way, media, they’re not telling us that people are suffering as a result of getting the vaccine, that they have all kinds of problems.

It might seem small. But when you’re the one out of 30,000 that gets it, it’s important to you. The good news, bad, and the ugly are all part of this vaccine.

It isn’t small, which is the problem. The Left has now taken aim at the health and well-being children, as well as babies. This dangerous slope continues to get more perilous.

The Left’s embedding of CRT is no different than their push to mandate everyone get vaccinated. Instead of providing people with the ability to choose their path, the Left is hiding and concealing data that could be threatening health and potentially causing serious harm. The CDC stopped collecting data about breakthrough COVID cases. If you really care about saving lives, why would that be done?

Winsome Sears is a great example of how to uncover, discredit, and expose the double standards, doublespeak, and double speak of the Left. More voices such as hers are needed in politics and beyond.
