Virginia Dem Hits Opponent For Saying Something Dumb. She Was Quoting Kamala Harris.
Daily Wire ^ | 10/14/2025 | Luke Rosiak

After Virginia’s Republican candidate for governor, Winsome Earle-Sears, left her Democratic opponent, Abigail Spanberger, on the ropes in a debate last week, Sears came out with a devastating ad: A full minute-long clip from the debate of Spanberger staring ahead silently, unwilling to answer the moderator’s question about whether she endorses attorney general candidate Jay Jones despite his homicidal comments against Republicans.

“We’re talking about murder … have you nothing to say about that?” Sears prodded.

...

So even as Sears rolled out ad after ad that criticized Spanberger by showing her responses when asked about policy positions, the most damaging thing Spanberger could attribute to Sears, even after four years as lieutenant governor, was something that was actually said by the Democrats’ presidential nominee, with Spanberger falsely giving the impression that it was a Sears quote.

Spanberger appears to view Harris’s famous quote as so idiotic that she has played it on a near-loop in multiple different ads, even before the debate. An earlier ad plays the clip four times.

But will the media - including local media - call out the ad for this dishonesty? Both portraying it as being from the debate (it wasn't) and it was Sears quoting someone else, not her own words?

I won't be holding my breath.

well if true, all Sears has to do is put out the ‘quote’ with whole context around it. that’ll make Spandex look like a liar.

What was confusing about the article?

My excerpt may be confusing now that I look at it, I’ll grant that...unfortunately it appears I deleted one of the sentences I meant to leave in.

The ability to rapidly respond to rapidly respond for her campaign is unfortunately hampered by having only a fraction of the cash.

It’s a news source, like Breitbart.

Sorry, but that is untrue. I may be a bottom feeder, but I am not left wing.

Oh, yeah, the “I am speaking” quote. I always got the idea she was doing an impression, just from her tone and the way she looked when she said it. It’s very disingenuous.
