Exclusive: Black Caucus Endorses Virginia Republican Glenn Youngkin for Governor After Backing McAuliffe in 2013
Breitbart ^ | 2 Oct 2021 | Ashley Oliver

Posted on 10/06/2021 2:40:49 PM PDT by T Ruth

The Hampton Roads Black Caucus (HRBC) endorsed Republican Glenn Youngkin in Virginia’s gubernatorial race, Youngkin revealed during an appearance on SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Saturday.

Youngkin, who is facing former Gov. Terry McAuliffe (D) in the November 2 election, said he had just received the endorsement Saturday morning.

“I am so honored and humbled, and it just reflects the fact that there is broad-based support for a platform that’s going to bring down our cost of living and cut taxes so people can keep more of their paycheck,” Youngkin said.

The endorsement comes as a blow to McAuliffe’s campaign after the HRBC previously backed McAuliffe in his 2013 bid for governor, as well as Gov. Ralph Northam (D) in his 2017 campaign.

While McAuliffe maintains a wide advantage in polls among black voters — the black voting bloc historically votes largely for Democrats — McAuliffe caused intraparty rifts in Virginia during the primary after entering as an automatic frontrunner in a field that came down to five candidates, three of whom were racial minorities, including two who were hoping to become the first black woman governor.

Youngkin noted the other two statewide Republican candidates, Winsome Sears for lieutenant governor and Jason Miyares for attorney general, also garnered HRBC endorsements.

McAwful already “won”! If he keeled over the day before the election, he would still “win”. Only question is of they will screw up and announce that he won before the votes are actually counted like they did with Bite Me in the Pres. election!

Was driving around No.VA running errands last Sunday. Lots of “Latino for Youngkin” signs.

The Republicans won’t get anywhere without an army of educated poll watchers.

ATTN VIRGINIA VOTERS

Candidate McAuliffe: “I’m not going to let parents come into schools and actually remove books, and make their own decisions,” candidate McAuliffe pontificated in the Va gubernatorial debate........

Candidate McAuliffe, in total, including grammar school, high school, college and law school, spent 19 years in private schools.

Candidate McAuliffe’s family was not forced to enroll him in tax-paid schools — and, obviously, they chose not to do so......and had the bucks for pricey tuitions.

Well, won’t they be disappointed when they find out they’re on the other side of a stolen election...

We don’t have elections anymore.

They have been replaced by a Vote Tabulating and Candidate Selection Process.

We're trying to get as many as we can. The main problem is that the Democrat-controlled legislature has enacted election laws that make cheating easy for those inclined to cheat (To wit: Democrats).

If you want to play politics in DC it all centers around attending the right private schools and that gets you to the correct parties, clubs, churches and embassy functions. Having a big family in DC is just a indication of how long you will be in DC.
