Virginia GOP Governor Candidate Asked for Southern Poverty Law Center Donations
Big League Politics ^ | May 11, 2021

On Monday, the Virginia Republican Party nominated Glenn Youngkin as their gubernatorial candidate to take on a Democrat contender.

However, Youngkin had previously worked as a co-CEO for the Carlyle Group, a private equity firm with deep ties to the Bush family.

Youngkin along with fellow co-CEO Kewsong Lee announced after the death of George Floyd that they would match donations for the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), the Equal Justice Initiative (EJI), and the NAACP Legal Fund.

The Carlyle Group is also heavily invested in ChiCom businesses. I recall hearing that they are perhaps the top US investor in Chinese businesses with ties to the CCP.

Sounds like he’s a member in good standing of the Managerial State.

This is why we can’t have nice things. The pathetic blog decides that it’s a good idea to attack the GOP nominee instead of focusing on Terry “The punk” McAuliffe, who is absolutely gunning for the 2nd Amendment in Virginia.

Oh, what the blog is smearing Youngkin with isn’t even true:

The nomination process is over. The “Bullelephant” had their chance. The voters rejected their choice.

Now it is Youngkin or The punk.

That’s the choice. Period.

He has said since that he was wrong to do so, FWIW.

Not good.

But since President Trump thinks he’s the best we can do, I’m in.

He’s better than the Dhimmicraps, but that’s all I can say for him.

Chase would have been better.

The Southern Poverty Law Center is nothing but a smear machine. A slightly exaggerated example: ‘Pam Gellar , who is an ultra right wing racist fascist who picks the wings off of fly's and rips the tags off mattresses according to the Southern Poverty Law Center said today...'

They should have told us about the candidates in Virginia before he won the primary.

He’s a Bush League Republican, but I’ll vote for him anyway.

McAwful is AWFUL.

For Virginians, it’s closing time in the bar and the two choices left for some fun are that homely fat person and that voluptuous slut known to have syphilis, a cocaine habit, and a mattress strapped to her back...

Time to choose or go home and...
