Is it too soon to congratulate Virginia??

For future reference: anecdotes are not "verifiable proof". You really need to look into what it takes to "prove" something. X number of anecdotes ain't it.

The scientific method - look into it if you're going to play pretend expert.

Nope.  Not debunked.  Poltifact just posted the entire context.  If his statement was clear as mud and possibly misinterpreted, that's on him for speaking word salads.

Youngkin deliberately stirred up fear, racism and hate with his anti- CRT campaign.

And the election of a black lieutenant governor does not absolve him of that.

Youngkin’s election was fueled by a campaign that used the bogeyman of “critical race theory” to tap into the grievance of White voters. It showed that fear worked.
Because here’s the deal: Voting for a Black candidate does not grant absolution from racism, nor from being motivated by the racist dog whistles — or nowadays, bullhorns — that politicians use to play on racial fears for political gain.

Youngkin's campaign ran an attack ad against the novel Beloved

You are making assumptions again.  

You are the perfect patsy for the right.  They say something stupid and you run with it like its the gospel without doing your own due diligence.  

And all that stuff you brought to this thread of what is supposedly happening in the schools. There are over 86,000 schools in this country, 26,000 of them are high schools.  Just exactly how many schools are experiencing what your “proof” is claiming?  1,2, 10?  And has it been verified by school officials or an outside source that it is actually happening as your “proof” claims it is?  Or is it just their word for these accusations?  You do understand folks have axes to grind don’t you?  And before heads start to roll don’t you think what is supposedly happening is verified to be actually happening?

There are NO FINE PEOPLE on the side of Nazis.

Ur welcome.

Gia/pixiechik isn’t interested in the facts, she’s just interested in her narrative.

The Mcauliffe twit that tweeted Youngkin should be disqualified was Jen Goodman. Jen Goodman was on his communications team, and had worked on Biden's campaign. It's been reported one of the Lincoln Project "actors" holding a tiki torch worked for the VA democratic party in some way (I have no interest in digging more). Eric Swalwell couldn't control himself because even he jumped on tweeting the hoax.

It's "beliefs" vs. evidence and reasoning. Who needs the latter (which are strict, have rules, and take work) when you have so much of the former (which are free and easy)!!

Semantics. I know, you know, and Trump knows too, that there is no difference between white nationalists and people on the "keep Confederate statues from the Jim Crow era up in our town square" side of that debate. He wants to keep the support of the white nationalists but also disavow them.

From the Politifact transcript where he first said very nice people.  Note the reporter asked him why it took him so long to “blast neo-nazis”.  

Only reason I brought this over at all was the part I posted because it gave a good laugh when I read the bolded parts.  And everyone should start their day with a good laugh don’t you think?



“Reporter: "Let me ask you, Mr. President, why did you wait so long to blast neo-Nazis?"

Trump: "I didn’t wait long. I didn’t wait long."

Reporter: "Forty-eight hours."

Trump: "I wanted to make sure, unlike most politicians, that what I said was correct -- not make a quick statement. The statement I made on Saturday, the first statement, was a fine statement. But you don’t make statements that direct unless you know the facts. It takes a little while to get the facts. You still don’t know the facts. And it’s a very, very important process to me, and it’s a very important statement.

"So I don’t want to go quickly and just make a statement for the sake of making a political statement. I want to know the facts. If you go back to --

Reporter: "So you had to (inaudible) white supremacists?"

Trump: "I brought it. I brought it. I brought it."

Reporter: "Was it terrorism, in your opinion, what happened?"

Trump: "As I said on -- remember, Saturday -- we condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry, and violence. It has no place in America. And then it went on from there. Now, here’s the thing --"

Reporter: (Inaudible)

Trump: "Excuse me. Excuse me. Take it nice and easy. Here’s the thing: When I make a statement, I like to be correct. I want the facts. This event just happened. In fact, a lot of the event didn’t even happen yet, as we were speaking. This event just happened.

"Before I make a statement, I need the facts. So I don’t want to rush into a statement. So making the statement when I made it was excellent. In fact, the young woman, who I hear was a fantastic young woman, and it was on NBC -- her mother wrote me and said through, I guess, Twitter, social media, the nicest things. And I very much appreciated that. I hear she was a fine -- really, actually, an incredible young woman. But her mother, on Twitter, thanked me for what I said.

"And honestly, if the press were not fake, and if it was honest, the press would have said what I said was very nice. But unlike you, and unlike -- excuse me, unlike you and unlike the media, before I make a statement, I like to know the facts."




pixiechick & sunshine please note how your fearless leader is going on about how facts are important.  It’s just too bad the three of you don’t believe it.

But I did have a good laugh! 😀

But pixiechick insists that she saw that McAuliffe tweeted it.  So one of you is incorrect. 

You'll be waiting a LONG time....

Absolutely no twisting. Remember in the debate when he was asked to tell white supremecists to stand down? He clearly told them to stand by and stand back, he refused to denounce them. I don’t care what other statements he or his press secretaries made. They’re outweighed by his refusals to denounce them. When he’s asked a clear, direct, simple question and has an opportunity to denounce them, he refuses to do it. He undeniably refused to condemn them.
