This is really amazing – powerful, moving, etc. Kudos to both Rep. Jennifer Wexton (D-VA10) and former Rep. Barbara Comstock (R-VA10) for teaming up like this, and for showing such grace to each other.
Former Rep. Barbara Comstock (R-VA10): “I have to add, I have never in my political career been in room with somebody so profoundly STUPID as Donald Trump”
Rep. Jennifer Wexton (D-VA10): “If you told 2018 me that I’d be sitting here with Barbara Comstock on CNN and that she was one of the biggest supporters of the Democratic nominee for president in her race against Donald Trump, I wouldn’t have believed you.” “I may not be here in four years, so I’m not about to sit on the sidelines – the stakes are too high, the reason I ran for Congress in the first place is because of my kids.”
Our differences don’t have to divide us.@BarbaraComstock and I ran a tough campaign against each other in 2018, but we’re coming together now to support @KamalaHarris.
Democrats and Republicans can agree there’s too much at stake for the future of our democracy this election. https://t.co/v7wMzpbOVe
