Winsome Earle-Sears, the current Lieutenant Governor of Virginia who is running for governor, has been absolutely hammering her Democrat opponent, Abigail Spanberger, on the trans issue in schools. It’s smart politics and the right thing to do. The 2024 election showed that parents are done putting up with this.
It came up during a recent appearance on FOX News, during which Sears also addressed the racist sign that was flashed by a Democrat during one of her appearances last week.

LAURA INGRAHAM, HOST: And here with me, without further ado, is Virginia Lieutenant Governor and gubernatorial campaign Winsome Earle-Sears. Madam, Lieutenant Governor, it is great to see you tonight. Now I want to read again that sign that we started with is yesterday outside the People’s Republic of Arlington, it’s like what I like to call it their school board meeting. Hey, Winsome, if trans can’t share your bathroom, then blacks can’t share my water fountain. Abigail Spanberger said she finds it abhorrent, racist and full stop, totally inappropriate and horrible. But what do you take away from this?LT. GOV. WINSOME EARLE-SEARS (R-VA): Abigail Spanberger wants boys and girls nude in the same bathroom. She also wants them in the same locker room. And this is what we’re not going to do. I am going to deliver for Virginians. I stand with parents. Absent Abby, my friends, refuses to take a stand.INGRAHAM: Well, the thing about her, I think, is that she presents as a woman of kind of common sense tradition, like she wants people to think, look, I was former CIA, I was a federal agent, a congresswoman, like I take on the big interests. You know she does that kind of rap and but when you pick apart the votes, there’s no there, there. So again, the moderate Democrat is today’s political unicorn. OK, it’s a unicorn. It sounds nice, but it doesn’t exist,EARLE-SEARS: Right. So, the mainstream media, though, is painting her as a moderate everywhere they can, and half of these polls are lying, and they know it. Here’s the deal. She is going to raise taxes. That’s not a moderate. That’s exactly where Democrats always land. She is going to destroy all the jobs that we’ve created because she’s going to put back all the regulations that we’ve gotten rid of. She’s going to raise their taxes, she’s going to tell them what kind of energy they’re going to have, and it’s only solar and wind.
Watch the segment below:
If Democrats retake control of the governorship of Virginia, the entire commonwealth is going to become Loudoun County. All of the progress that parents have made there will be erased for the sake of DEI by another name.
On a related note, I think Teri Christoph of RedState is spot on with this:
It’s Time for President Trump to Endorse Winsome SearsIt’s time, Mr. President. In fact, it’s the perfect time; there’s likely not going to be a better one.Yes, you have your reasons for hesitating to endorse Winsome Earle-Sears for governor in Virginia; it’s understandable that you might not want to put your personal seal of approval on a candidate who didn’t have your back in 2022 when you announced you were running for a second term. Politics is an ugly game, and there are few who’ve experienced that more keenly than you.But, that was then, and this is now.This past week—and Thursday night in Arlington, in particular—Winsome Earle-Sears entered the fray. The same fray you yourself have been caught up in for nearly a decade. She came face-to-face with the ugly sneer of the American left, who, instead of embracing a strong female candidate (and a black one at that!), chose to demean and mock her instead. You’ve been there, you know precisely how it feels.
Trump should not only endorse Sears, but he should also do an event with her if she thinks it would help her campaign.
