Here we are just a few hours away from the polls opening in Virginia to decide what some have characterized as a “bellwether” race between Democrat nominee Terry McAuliffe and Republican nominee Glenn Youngkin. McAuliffe, his frantic supporters and others are pulling all the strings as his campaign sinks.
When a Democrat gets desperate in a race they’ve fallen behind in, their most tried and true tactic is to trot out the raaaacism card. McAuliffe has the card on his forehead since months. This insults Youngkin as well as at least half the state’s voters by suggesting that racism is the reason they oppose Critical Race Theory being implemented in public schools.
But despite the fact that the trick doesn’t appear to be working, that hasn’t stopped his unofficial surrogates like the creepers at the Lincoln Project from doing his bidding and staging disgusting stunts like the mock Charlottesville tiki torch rally that happened Friday.
All this leads me to McAuliffe playing the race card. Today was an earlier example. MSDNC MSNBC, professor and “political scientist” Larry Sabato, who we’ve been informed is a respectable and reliable pollster, proclaimed that the central issue in this contest was not education and the economy – which numerous polls show. According to him, it all came down to one word. “Race” or “white backlash, white resistance, whatever you want to call it.”
You can watch:
@LarrySabatoIt is possible to say, “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 pic.twitter.com/33KQvZNVkV

Relatedly, another MSNBC commentator – WaPo columnist and editorial board member Jonathan Capeheart – piggybacked on Sabato’s remarks like a good little McAuliffe megaphone:
Jonathan Capehart of WashPost says, “I love the things I read.” @LarrySabato said…It’s not critical race theory, we have to focus on race & in this case, @GlennYoungkinBy putting the name Beloved on the flames of white anger. He was able to bridge the gap. #VAgov pic.twitter.com/SIt50fybCq

I’ve seen varying clips of the Sabato interview, and nowhere in them did I see it mentioned that he has a vested interest in seeing McAuliffe win this race. What is the reason? Look below to find out why
Larry Sabato campaigned in August for Terry McAuliffe, opening him up at an event and “highlighting many achievements.”
McAuliffe’s dog attack, so it is no surprise that he pushes McAuliffe’s dirtiest and most grueling smears. https://t.co/ZKIKVapYs8 https://t.co/Z8ssnb4VdH pic.twitter.com/gA1t9zAK9u

You’d think MSNBC would find that relevant information to include in any segment involving Sabato providing commentary on this particular race (that and the fact that Sabato’s “Crystal Ball” just declared the race “lean Youngkin”), but I guess when it involves commentators attempting to speak “Truth to Power” or whatever the more inconvenient truths are rather conveniently left out.
Is it “racist” to oppose CRT? No, it’s not – perhaps Sabato and McAuliffe should talk to black parents who have shown up to some of these school board meetings to protest it and call them racists to their faces. What have these parents been protesting at the meetings as well? The transgender/gender identity politics dogma that is being put in place in schools, terrifying when you consider what happened to the young female student in Loudoun County who was raped by a boy in a skirt who claimed he was “gender fluid.”
Last I checked, opposition to that did not make one a “racist,” either.
They are also protesting other things. They are not informed about the teaching of explicit sexual material to their children in advance. That’s not racist either, and in fact, has been an ongoing debate in school districts across America going back decades. Did I mention this isn’t “racist,” either?
Larry Sabato may be a clown. But the most important thing is that he’s Terry McAuliffe’s clowMcAuliffe basically says that n is all he knows about Youngkin and parents.
McAuliffe’s behavior in this race, like I mentioned yesterday is quite bizarre. McAuliffe, unlike Youngkin has taken an innovative approach to gaining support.
He’s decided that he will not only insult a voter’s intelligence but that he’ll also dig a deeper hole by insulting Voters themselves (including some in his own party) – and then expects them to say “more, please.” His campaign has been the 2021 version of Hillary Clinton’s failed 2016 presidential campaign, where she infamously declared half of the then-GOP nominee Donald Trump’s supporters to be “deplorables.”
Clinton’s tactic backfired, And McAuliffe’s has, too. Virginia voters must do the only thing that remains: Give Clinton the exit.
