McAuliffe lead evaporates in Virginia as he smears critical race theory opponent as 'racist'

Recent comments by Virginia Democratic nominee for governor Terry McAuliffe denouncing opposition to critical race theory as "racist" are drawing criticism on social media, as the former governor's lead over Republican opponent Glenn Youngkin continues to evaporate in the homestretch of a race that is now a dead heat.

McAuliffe, who previously served as governor during 2014-18, was asked during a candidate forum on Thursday evening how he would define critical race theory. In response, he denied CRT is being taught in the state's public schools and declined to define it.

"I answer this question very clearly," he said. "It's not taught in Virginia, it’s never been taught in Virginia."

When pressed to define critical race theory, McAuliffe said: "Doesn't matter. It's not taught here in Virginia. So I'm not going to spend my time. I'm not even spending my time because the school board and everyone else says it's not taught. It's racist. It's a dog whistle."

I still say McAuliffe will easily win though because absolutely nothing has been done about election integrity.

Yay an article telling us what we want to hear. Meanwhile, McAuliffe will win.

McAwful institutionalized vote fraud in his first term.
Removed the citizenship check on new registrations and the Democrats have been registering non-citizens, green card holders and illegal aliens alike.

Yes. You nailed it.

“Dead heat” means McAuliffe wins.

Even “Youngkin IN A LANDSLIDE!” means - McAuliffe wins.

Sorry to say this but I agree with the pessimistic comments. A Virginia Democrat could be caught stealing from a child and still get elected governor here... Just too many government bureaucrats and hangers-on.

I am involved in the fight for election integrity in VA and am actually working on Youngkin's team in that regard. Your statement that nothing is being done is absolutely wrong. The problem is that the Democrat-controlled legislature revamped the Virginia election law in a way that makes cheating easier. There's not much we can do about that. We need poll watchers every day up to and including election day. If you live in VA and want to do something other than complain, sign up to a be a poll watcher.

Does Virginia have the liberal mail in ballot procedures in place? If so, that will make an uphill climb for the GOP. If these polls are accurate, the additional mail in ballots will put McAuliffe over the top. They will tip the balance to Clintonista McAuliffe.

Republicans are useless, its obvious as hell 2020 was a fraud election and they all stood against Trump and allowed the Democrap domestic enemy party to go forth with this mail in ballot/ballot harvesting crap. Absolute ZERO reason why there should be early voting, late voting. Mail in ballots should ONLY be allowed to those who are disabled and cannot leave their residence, otherwise forget it! I am so sick to death of this garbage and Republicans constantly acting like wuss bags when it comes to democrats. This is it! If the domestic enemies take the midterms and 2024 our lives are going to be hell on earth. Look at the extreme damage in only 9 months by these bastards. Election integrity should be the #1 focus by Republicans

I think McCallum was more hurt by saying "I don't think parents should be telling schools what they should teach."

Watch this political add on McCaullif titled "Terry McAuliffe doesn’t think you should be in charge of your kid’s education,” the ad said. “Parents: it’s time to fight back." https://m.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=47&v=wny39nks0Gs

The communist Democrats are going to lose the mother vote over this.

Shouldn’t win be in quotes? “Win”.

Will he claim to have gotten 81 Million “Votes” like Biden does?

Dems win unless the other side is 20% ahead.
They cheat by that margin

Someday, when it is too late for them to do anything about it, blacks will come to realize that the real racists are the democrats. Democrats always treat blacks as incapable and dumb and always needing a handout from government. Meanwhile, democrats know how to point fingers are republicans and accuse them of being the racists.

Racism is about treating people as dumb and ignorant and keeping them from progressing on their own. No other party does that better then democrats.

It is not race they run that bothers me. It is the communist indoctrination called critical theory that does

When the democrats solidify control over the net, they’ll take away my quotes anyway.

Yeah good luck getting a Yankee to sign up for that LOL. Besides if Youngkin wins they'd have to find something else to bitch about. Bitchin's apparently hard work on FR.

Youngkin needs an October Surprise to suppress Democrat turnout. Attack ads tying Fast Terry to encouraging Coonman to run knowing about the blackface, hell find someone to quote him that he thought it would probably help Coonie! And the other ad -- show how Fast Terry introduced Beater to the baby-parts crowd -- that is well-documented. The Fast Terry-Clinton-Epstein connection attack ad is played out and probably wasn't worth the money.

Please don’t disturb the people who want to post 100 times a day that no election matters and we can never win again.

And never mention to them how the democrats vastly underperformed for Congress last year.

IOW I’m sick of that nonsense. I think they should designate one person to post that comment per election.

Imagine the idiot who stays home and we lose by one vote. Thank you for actually working on this important election.

My prediction is the anti Biden vote will carry Virginia.
