Pressure mounts on Virginia Dems to clearly state view on trans bathrooms after bombshell emails

The northern Virginia transgender bathroom saga notched another controversy Friday with the release of emails from Arlington County, Virginia, schools regarding correspondence board members received from serial sex offender Richard Kenneth Cox.

Cox, 58, was thrust into the national spotlight after Virginia's Fairfax County Democratic prosecutor Steve Descano declined to prosecute Cox for charges of perversion in women’s locker rooms while neighboring Arlington County, Virginia, arrested him in 2024 on similar offenses which he has faced in court in October.

Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears, the Republican gubernatorial nominee, lambasted news that Cox — who identified himself as a transgender woman named "Riki" in emails to Arlington, Virginia, schools regarding concerns about using facilities at its semi-public aquatic center — was allegedly able to prey on young girls in the Washington suburb.

"This ‘woman’ — child predator Richard ‘Riki’ Cox — repeatedly used a girls’ locker room and exposed himself to young girls," Earle-Sears said in a Friday statement. "Abigail Spanberger thinks he has the right to be there."

Fox News Digital reached out to Democratic gubernatorial candidate Spanberger to confirm whether she opposes or supports Virginia policies that allow transgender females born as males to use women’s facilities and did not receive a reply.

I’m thinking that the Dems should start a push to require urinals in girls restrooms.

Spanberger won’t even lie. She dodges the direct questions. She dances around the issues and walks away. That alone should DQ a person from office.

“ The Virginia Demonicrats can only lie, not tell the truth.”

Just like the DemocRATS in the rest of the country.

I love seeing so many low-info’s eyes being opened lately in the realization that the Democrats are actually betting their future on crazy bathroom crap.

Fun fact, the high schools in Arlington, VA (there are 4 of them I think) all have indoor swimming pools.

Bush ran a great campaign back in '04. Kerry was labeled as a "flip-flopper" and he never got over that.

Lord, Please, crush her in the elections.

Motivate the good people of VA to get out and vote to overcome the rampant election fraud.

You did it last year when You gave us President Trump. Please, do the same this year at the state and local level elections.
