The Big Racist Fail in Virginia – WSJ

On PBS the Washington Post s Jonathan Capehart said that if Mr. Youngkin won it would be because Republicans decided that tap-dancing with white supremacy is their way back into power. Terry McAuliffe was especially nasty as he closed his campaign this weekend, saying of his rival: He s run a racist campaign from start to finish.

So what did all these racist Virginia voters do Tuesday night? In addition to electing Mr. Youngkin as Governor, they elected Winsome Sears as Lt. Governor. She will be the first African-American woman to be elected to statewide office in Virginia history. These same racists appear to have rejected Mark Herring, a Democrat who admitted he d appeared in blackface. Instead they chose Jason Miyares, who will be Virginia s first Latino attorney general.
