Jesse Dollemore - GOP Candidate for Virginia Governor GOES OFF THE RAILS IN BIGOTED TIRADE!!!



Jesse discusses last night’s Virginia gubernatorial debate between Abigail Spanberger and Winsome Earle-Sears, which turned nightmarish from the start. There was a particularly troubling moment when Earle-Sears proclaimed it not discriminatory to deny equal marriage rights to LGBTQ people or to fire them for their sexual orientation.

MAGAts must be absolutely confused by her. OTOH, she's cray-cray, so I suspect they relate well to her on some level. God, or whomever, help Virginia if this she winds up winning.

It's like MAGA at some point lost any ability to discern sanity and reality from lunacy.

Expect that at least 2 million of them will vote for her just as a baseline. Fortunately for the rest of us who live in VA, we will actually give the contest some thought and vote for Abigail.

5. Virginia is standing up.

We lived there from age three to age 12. We lived in a tiny little place in the southeast corner. It was called Holland. It is little more than a crossroads now. The elementary school is gone. My best friend's family barber shop is still there, although it looks unused.

I just hope that my home state can get to the point where Virginia is right now. Where they ae starting to realize that the crap the were fed was just that... crap.

But even with that blueness, there are still pockets of red, and hard core redness too. Outside of NOVA, Richmond, Charlottesville and parts of Tidewater, it's still pretty red. But I've lived there for 40 years and have seen lots of changes over that time. Let's hope that Spanberger is the winner!

And as far as Jay Jones, he may be a flawed candidate for AG, but I will probably still vote for him. I find Republicans' outrage to be ironic since they didn't care about voting for a 34x convicted felon for President.

Very manipulative, toxic and virulent.

Earle-Sears was born in Jamaica and immigrated to the US. Jamaicans are super-homophobic, probably stemming from British colonialism.
