On the eve of a government shutdown, which could throw a whole lot of Virginia residents who are federal employees out of work, the Republican candidate for governor has decided that there's nothing more important to talk about than those pesky transgender folks.
Lt. Governor Winsome Earle-Sears has just launched a campaign ad accusing Democrat Abigail Spanberger of wanting "boys to play sports and share locker rooms with little girls."
Oh, sigh. Maybe so-called parents' rights issues worked for that empty sweater-vest known as Glenn Youngkin back in 2021, but that election feels like light-years ago now. And even the GOP is admitting that Earle-Sears is lagging because she refuses to address the issues that people are worrying about today. "One of the common complaints or observations as to why she hasn’t been catching fire is because there’s really been no overarching message or theme or even positive vision for the future," one (anonymous, of course) Republican strategist said.
So, nothing from Earle-Sears on the cost of living or the threats to democracy — or Benedict Donald's crusade against the government, which has thrown thousands of Virginians' lives into chaos. Got it. Jeez, it's just utter political malpractice. We cats HISS.
