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

McCaulif should lose. He is simply power hungry. His intentions are not good.

What’s with Maher lately?

Did he get mugged or something?

Right. I think there’s an awful lot of whistling past the graveyard going on in the GOP right now.

IOW, Maher supports CRT? But doesn't think it should be brought to the forefront of the campaign? Hmm, wonder why? Could it be, he's just another Partisan Media Shill?

It would be fitting that McAuliffe loses the election because of what Merrick Garland did with calling parents who do not want their children having crap crammed down their throats. It is special because the democrats threw all their high powered politicians at him, the full entourage, even Biden and Obama. If he loses, the democrats better come up with heroic measures to salvage the 2022 election, starting with immediately firing Merrick Garland. He deserves to be fired for doing Biden’s bidding. Then Biden better figure out how to recover.

Not all -- only four out of five. I presume they're all with one similarly cisgendered partner, and maybe these are just the five we know about.

So.... suddenly Maher is the truth-telling soothsayer? WTH is wrong with everybody? Last year we couldn’t stand ONE word that came out of Maher’s mouth and now we’re cuddling up to him because he thinks maybe perhaps... Maher didn’t know jack schitt then and he doesn’t know jack schitt now. He’s just a mouth that spews.

It’s VERY BAD NEWS for Dems when McA’s poll numbers sank like the Titanic
AFTER he blithely paraded top Dems around Va like they were prized pooches at a dog show.

Obumba was even more despicable than the Black Mack truck......Ga “Gov” Stacy Abrams.

Obumba stupidly dissed “culture wars” to fighting mad Va mama bears already on the march, having been provoked by sap-happy McA.

Stacy Abrams was given a wide girth after whining about “stolen elections.”

Biden not only pulled McA into negative poll territory, but the simpleton scared off Hill Dems from passing his trillion dollars legacy, then ran for the hills to escape Bidens kiss of death
