Speaking this morning on right-wing radio (where else?), State Senator Amanda Chase – a Republican candidate for governor of Virginia – talked about her assistance to the 2020 VA GOP U.S. Senate nominee Daniel Gade. According to Chase (see below for audio):
“[I’m] helping other people running, helping Daniel Gade run right now for U.S. Senate and coaching him...We’ve been traveling some together, hitting different events across the state…as I’m running for governor, I’m helping our other candidates to make sure that we have victories for President Trump this coming fall…”
Of course, as former Sen. George Allen (R) once said, “You can tell a lot about people by the folks they stand with.” In Daniel Gade’s case, he stands with – and is being “coach[ed]” by – State Sen. Amanda Chase…namely, this person:
- Amanda Chase Spent the Week Doubling Down on Racism
- Virginia Sen. Amanda Chase Rants About “Destroying WHITE HISTORY,” Taking Down “White” Monuments and “Not Others”
- Video: 2021 VA GOP Gubernatorial Candidate Amanda Chase Says “I don’t do COVID anymore, I’m back to normal, full speed ahead.”
- Amanda Chase’s Offensive Behavior Is Pushing Away Fellow Republicans, Swing Voters
- Audio: Sen. Amanda Chase (R) Says “I Wish [NRA] Would Write *Me* a Check for $200,000”
- Right-Wing Republican Virginia State Senator Amanda Chase: “It’s those who are naive and unprepared that end up raped”
- “I Call My Revolver My Little Equal Rights Amendment”
- State Senator Amanda Chase (R-11th) Claims Capitol Police Are Partisan Liars
- Far-Right, Pistol-Packing Virginia State Sen. Amanda Chase Praises “Make Bang Bang” Gun Guy’s “great group who believe in our constitution and rights as Americans.”
- Far-Right Virginia Sen. Amanda Chase: “The ERA Amendment is nothing more than a ploy by the left to eliminate gender altogether.”
- Audio: State Sen. Amanda Chase (R) Rips Senate Republicans as “Bozos,” “Clown Show”
So what does it say about Daniel Gade – whose tone, by the way, has been increasingly unhinged in his emails, ranting about Democrats supposedly burning the cities down, blah blah blah. Maybe that’s the Chase “coaching” (gack!) having an impact on him? If so, it’s a strong reason *not* to vote for Gade this November, but instead to turn out in droves to reelect Sen. Mark Warner!
