The audio quality is really bad, for whatever reasons (note: if you’re going to live stream an event, maybe do a sound check before it goes live? LOL), but still, from the video (see below), you can get a feel for the anger and concerns expressed by a packed house of VA10 voters last night in Warrenton (not “Warren” as it says on the YouTube video, for whatever reason). As Sam Shirazi points out (see his post, below), reacting to PBS News reporter Lisa Desjardins describing the VA10 town hall as “PACKED” – “in a conservative part of northern Virginia”:
“This is in Warrenton in Fauquier County. It is an exurb of DC that went 60%-40% Trump. But it was 65%-35% Youngkin in 2021. Type of place to keep an eye on in November in terms of a backlash that goes beyond super blue areas.”
If that continues, of course it could bode disaster for Virginia Republicans this November. And it’s not like this is the only town hall where we’ve seen this; to the contrary, this has been the NORM for weeks all over Virginia, whether in person town halls or “tele town halls” or local Democratic committee meetings or whatever – all PACKED. And remember, as the saying goes, Angry people vote, the apathetic stay home.” And right now, Democrats are definitely angry.
