On his first day, Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares has eliminated the Office of Civil Rights. Miyares also announced he will prosecute criminal cases in jurisdictions where Soros DAs decline to prosecute, and he has already opened investigations into Loudon County Public Schools.

Jason Miyares @JasonMiyaresVA As a candidate, I promised to investigate the scandals at the Virginia Parole Board and Loudoun County Schools.

As Attorney General, I am proud to say that the process has begun and the investigations are officially open.

Sweet leftist tears…

Louise Lucas @SenLouiseLucas I've been told incoming AG @JasonMiyaresVA just FIRED the entire civil rights division in the Attorney General's office. My bill helped create and expand the authority that this division uses. 8:48 PM · Jan 14, 2022

Trump needs people like this for 2024.

It sounds like the AG was elected, not appointed.

Dems will find a judge to stop the AG by Tuesday morning. And they’ll scream about the optics of firing the Civil Rights agency the day before MLK’s birthday. And the Repubs will back down.

Fired is the least of their problems. At least some of those attorneys are going to end up with life in prison.

But, WHAT IF, his new hires actually look at Civil Rights from a colorblind perspective?

Why have one at all?

Trump needs to take notes. This is how it’s done.

“Why have one at all?”

It’s the LAW, but even so, the best way to get rid of it is to use it in a colorblind way.

When the sources specifically address the claim and debunk it yes, or at least wait for confirmation. These quotes appear more substantive than Louise Lucas but YMMV.

Virginia State Senator Louise Lucas tweeted that Miyares fired the “entire” civil rights division, which Miyares’s office tells Fox News is not accurate.

Virginia State Senator Louise Lucas claimed Miyares fired the entire Civil Rights division, however the AG’s spokesperson said only two staffers from that division were let go on Saturday. “There are 12 individuals who work in the Office of Civil Rights - only two personnel changes were made,” Miyares spox Victoria LaCivita said.

How is this even possible? Apparently the Republican party is being infiltrated by people with fully functional testes.

The discourtesy was not in the disagree but in the manner. The quotes you have posted do not substantiate the statement that the entire civil rights section was fired. There is no disagreement that the firings bode well just in the inaccurate characterization of who was fired.
I posted the correction issued by Miyares spokesperson for information, so that people can be aware of the discrepancy & not be disappointed when the Democratic spin is debunked.

Sit down, Louise, no one took your bus seat away. Happy MLK DAY!

The first day of a new Republican administration should see a total blitzkrieg through the senior ranks of the military and of the 3 letter agencies.


What a day that would make!!!

More good news, these firings aren't the last of it...

Jason Miyares shakes up staff before becoming Virginia's attorney general
Miyares' team said 30 personnel changes were made, including 17 attorneys and 13 staff members.

"On Friday, Miyares' team said he made 30 personnel changes, including 17 attorneys and 13 staff members. Those attorneys include the solicitor general and deputies that served under Herring."

"LaCivita later tweeted that Miyares will analyze and evaluate the entire Office of the Attorney General following his inauguration, then will announce further changes."

This is a doubly-bitter pill for leftists, as the Soros prosecutors are not enforcing laws with gentler punishments than state laws.

The only sticking point I can see is if there leftist judges in the process.

It’s the LAW...

Maybe the law needs to change?

...but even so, the best way to get rid of it is to use it in a colorblind way.

For example?

Great move to show what can be done if the vermin are eliminated........

The dems never expect a “ pubbie” to do something like this.

They want. My esteemed collegues, lets work in unison, which is code for we are weak and will do what you want

“For example?”

If it’s enforced in a colorblind manner, then 90% plus of their cases would have to deal with black-on-white crimes (and black-on-Asian). At that point, the DEMOCRATS will be pushing to get rid of it.
