Amy Curtis writes for TownHall.com about a particularly bad idea from the Democrat running for governor in Virginia.
Abigail Spanberger, the Democrat running for Virginia governor, insists she’s running on a platform of saving Virginian families money.
At least that’s what she says. What she does, on the other hand, is completely different.
“Lies. In Congress, Spanberger drove up inflation by supporting Biden’s massive, wasteful bills. She supports green energy mandates that drive up electric bills, she doesn’t believe that workers should have a choice about joining a union, she won’t cut the car tax, and she opposes school choice because she doesn’t care if poor kids get a decent education in a safe school. She’s bought and paid for by the teachers unions, and that’s bad for children, parents, and society.”
And now Spanberger wants to slap Virginia taxpayers with the bill for a $15 million DEI czar and staff to enact racist, discriminatory practices in Virginia’s government.
Spanberger noted the position, a cabinet-level one, started with former Governor Ralph Northam. “What it meant in that administration,” Spanberger said, “is that there was someone who was bringing a lens of intentionality and inclusivity. How do we view history here in Virginia, and what are some of the laws that may still be on the books that reflect a different era?”
“If you don’t have someone looking at them,” Spanberger continued, “with that level of intentionality, maybe we want to take them off the books.”
There are many laws that “reflect a different era” in this thing called the Constitution. Democrats, of course, are selective in what laws they like and don’t like, and they only play the “different era” card when it suits their agenda.
The position would have a dozen staff members and a budget of over $2.2 million through at least 2028.
Democrats have completely lost the plot.
