Bill Maher warns Virginia Dems: McAuliffe could lose election over schools issue because 'parents vote'

HBO star said 'what's going on in the schools' was going to be 'the issue' in future elections...

Bill Maher sounded the alarm Friday night about next week's Virginia gubernatorial election, which could go to Republicans for the first time since 2009.

Maher began the show's panel discussion by pointing out that Democratic nominee Terry McAuliffe "should walk away with it" since resident Biden won Virginia by 10 points and McAuliffe previously served as the commonwealth's governor, 2014-2018.

Instead, Maher noted, the race is "neck and neck," with GOP challenger Glenn Youngkin over an issue that Maher reminded viewers he previously warned about.

"I said this months and months ago that the issue in coming elections is going to be what's going on in the schools," Maher said. "Parents vote and they don't like what's going in schools. They feel like they are losing control and this became the issue in this election."

...

McAuliffe for his infamous debate remark when the Democrat said, "I'm not going to let parents come into schools and actually take books out and make their own decisions. I don't think parents should be telling schools what they should teach."

Maher called the McAuliffe comment an "applause line" for teachers but not for parents.

...

critical race theory means .. separating 5-year-olds by race and telling some you're oppressors and the others you're the oppressed and giving up on a colorblind society and resegregation and racism is the essence of America- then I'm out. I'm out on that," Maher

...

The Atlantic staff writer Caitlin Flanagan stressed that she's a "Democrat," railed against McAuliffe as a "hack politician" who is "siding with the teachers union" because "that's where his bread is buttered."

He's a rich man who sent all his kids to private schools

If school reform is the outcome of this race and other issues cross country, then this is epic.

Yes and parents are waking up to the theft and indoctrination of their kids by these marxist controllers. They’re OUR KIDS - not the governments!

Bill Maher is a pompous ass who’s responsible for all this division and for the Democrats being the radicals that they are today. He’s just lucid enough to see the writing on the wall and realizes that no one is buying what he is selling anymore.

The Democrat three legged stool is, education, abortion, Biden. McCauliffe like Biden has no accomplishments that appeal to voters.

Look for Fairfax County to report late due to volume of mail-in and found-in-trunk ballots that need to be counted.

Teachers nationwide don’t want to be associated with the CRT crap and they vote too.

Even stupid people begin to realize something went wrong when the communists begin to implement their vile ideology into coercive programs.

They’ve already ordered the champagne for the celebration. This is all fake just like the ballots will be and computers too very likely.
