This is like Mitt Romney’s infamous “47 percent” comments on steroids! (h/t to American Bridge and the Democratic Party of Virginia for the audio “scoop”)
Families and small businesses in Virginia are feeling the impact of Trump’s trade war, yet Winsome Earle-Sears is saying she won’t comment on his tariffs… but we already have the receipts.

NEW AUDIO: Behind Closed Doors, Winsome Earle-Sears Calls Trump’s Tariffs “Good”
Winsome Earle-Sears: “I think that’s good”
VIRGINIA – As Donald Trump’s tariffs go into effect, raising prices for Virginians, new audio has exposed Winsome Earle-Sears saying she thinks this massive tax on Virginia families and businesses is “good” and a “benefit.”
Sears’ comments from behind closed doors come after her campaign refused to answer questions from the media about Trump’s reckless tariffs.
LISTEN HERE:
Winsome Earle-Sears: Now somebody asked me about the tariffs. Folks, you know what I think about that? So I understand that tariffs can hurt. But I think Trump is crazy like a fox. I mean, have you noticed the minute that he says tariffs suddenly — as my grandmother would say — these countries shaped up and started flying right? Did you notice that? Yes. Yes. […] And I think that’s good! And it’s to our benefit after all.
