Kaine: Youngkin Campaign ‘Hearkens Back’ to ‘Segregationist Attitudes’
Breitbart ^ | 10/31/2021 | Pam Key

Senator Tim Kaine (D-VA) said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that Virginia gubernatorial candidate Glenn Youngkin’s (R) campaign “hearkens back” to the days of segregation.

Kaine said, “If you look at the Youngkin campaign, they’ve made it about kind of invented inflated issues like Critical Race Theory. To close their campaign with an ad featuring a parent who waged a campaign against Toni Morrison’s novel ‘Beloved,’ it’s just kind of unheard of. It’s unheard, and it hearkens back to a long tradition in Virginia history. My father-in-law was the governor who ended segregation in Virginia, integrated public schools, and he was hated for it at the time in the 1970s. He died just three days ago. People are writing about how courageous he is. Lynnwood was 98 years old. He thought he had helped Virginia turn away from dog whistles and appeals to segregationist attitudes. Glenn Youngkin’s preaching of the big lie about electoral fraud and copying Donald Trump’s line, which he started the campaign with and now at the end featuring this activist who went against Toni Morrison’s book Beloved, it’s harkening back to a day gone by in Virginia.”

wow..McAuliffe gets it wrong and has a loose memory.

They were “re-counting”(not counting- or maybe they were) i.e. manufacturing votes.

Katherine Harris had a Democrat lawyer advise her all the way re: Florida election law.
She followed the law...

I agree with your whole post. Excellently stated. I was just so struck by how utterly creepy & off Kaine was.
