RedState has reported previously that Virginia Republican nominee Glenn Youngkin beat Terry McAuliffe in the gubernatorial race.
The latest Fox News poll shows that Youngkin ranks as the most popular person in America. Eight pointsMcAuliffe is preferred by most likely voters. Two and a quarter weeks ago, McAuliffe was up five in a Fox News poll. This is an enormous shift of momentum for Youngkin. Real Clear Politics has Youngkin leading in polling averages for the first time.
The poll asked respondents to rate which issue they see the greatest shift in their opinion. Economy and Education, with the former becoming a priority. The major focal point of the race between the two over the last couple of months, accelerated by McAuliffe admitting during a late September debate that “I don’t think parents should be telling schools what they should teach.”
McAuliffe is now doubling down on that disastrous declaration. His woes are further compounded by a lack of enthusiasm from the Democrat faithful during the last weeks of campaign, as well as a shift in independent voters away from Democrats to Youngkin over the closing days.
So what’s a guy like McAuliffe do when he knows he’s against the ropes a la Ivan Drago getting pounded by Rocky Balboa in Rocky IV? He summons the clowns, in the form of the Lincoln Project, a surprising move since the LP aren’t exactly known these days for trying to make behind-the-black-curtain moves against anyone who isn’t over the age of 15.
As per the norm, the race card was trotted out with wild abandon in the new LP ad, with a generous tossing in of the words “Southern Strategy” to really try and scare black voters, who a panicked McAuliffe really needs to show up on Election Day. On board to present the latest offering from the sexual-predator-defending outfit was Rep. Eric Swalwell, who never met a Chinese honey pot who he didn’t want to sell his country out to for the type of “comfort” disgraced Lincoln Project founder John Weaver sought among underaged young men looking for their big break in politics:
There’s a word @GlennYoungkin would really like to say to talk about black people, but he knows he can’t, so he codes it with “Critical Race Theory.” Don’t take my word, trust the honorable Republicans who made this ad and know how this ugly strategy works. https://t.co/J8Nqqriy0p

Watch the video and you will see there is absolutely NOTHING that could tie Glenn Youngkin into the Southern Strategy or modern racists. There is nothing. You see a bunch of references to Youngkin talking about the dangers of CRT, which McAuliffe himself has declared a “racist dog whistle” much in the same way he insinuates former President Trump’s support is a “signal” that supposed “racists” make up the bulk of Youngkin’s support base.
It’s all one big GIANT slap in the face to the black voters of Virginia, who like black voters in other parts of America are growing tired and are getting sick of such manipulative tactics used to scare people into voting for the Democrat. The same goes for Hispanic voters, to who McAuliffe insultingly suggested during a recent campaign event should “get busy … fairly quickly” procreating so their babies could grow up and pledge allegiance to Democrats and give them their votes.
As I have already stated, it is a shameful thing that McAuliffe and his campaign surrogates say anything to minority voters. I mean McAuliffe and his campaign surrogates (whether “officially” affiliated or not) are all but literally saying here that black and Hispaic voters can’t think independently and owe their votes to the Democratic party without question. It’s eerily reminiscent of then-Democratic candidate for president Joe Biden last year insulting black voters by telling them “you ain’t black” if you don’t support his campaign.
It’s a terrible look, an admission of the “quiet part out loud” about the Democratic party’s low opinion of the minority communities they claim to want to protect.
Remember, too, that former Virginia Dem governor Doug Wilder (who is black) absolutely unloaded on McAuliffe’s pandering towards black voters earlier this week in a clear sign that there are members of the black community in Virginia who are fed up with being taken for granted.
Lastly, no post dunking on Swalwell would be complete without mentioning the, ahem, infamous “fart heard ’round the world” two years ago:

So let’s do the math here. Terry McAuliffe will be supported by defenders and sellouts to his country. If that’s not desperation from Terry McAuliffe, I don’t know what is, bless his heart.
