See below for video of the amazing story, on the CBS Evening News, about VA01 Democratic candidate Qasim Rashid, and how “Last month a constituent sent me an anti-Muslim message & told me to leave the country…Today he invited me to install a giant sign in his lawn for me to lead the country.” Oh, and as an added bonus, the story was retweeted by none other than LeVar Burton, aka Geordi La Forge on “Star Trek: The Next Generation,” who wrote, “Awesome story @QasimRashid … Your brand of principled leadership is exactly what this country needs right now!” Exactly…especially in contrast to the utterly abysmal, disgraceful incumbent, right-wingnut Rep. Rob Wittman (R-VA01).
By the way, for more on Qasim Rashid, see Video: Qasim Rashid Demolishes Not Just His Republican Opponent’s Lies, but the Lies of Many (Most?) Virginia Republicans Running This Year; Video: In Lopsided Debate, Democrat Qasim Rashid Utterly Demolishes Republican State Sen. Richard Stuart; Marc Broklawski: Why I’m Endorsing Qasim Rashid for Virginia State Senate; and Qasim Rashid Asks a Great Question: “Is the Virginia GOP ever going to debate the issues instead of name calling?”
