Car crash…train wreck…dumpster fire…hot mess…choose your metaphor as you watch Winsome Earle-Sears’ disastrous/”epic crash out” (as Aaron Rupar accurately describes it) interview on CNN a little while ago. Also, keep in mind that this is what’s ALWAYS going to happen when Earle-Sears steps outside of the MAGA/right-wing echo chamber she usually stays in, and is actually confronted with *facts*, with *her own past statements* (e.g., when she ripped the you-know-what out of Trump), etc. When that happens, she simply refuses to engage, just talks and talks, louder and louder – and attacks the media, the interviewer, ANYTHING but respond directly to simple, clear questions. Is this the type of person you’d want as your next governor? If so…WTF??? I mean…is that even a question that anyone should need to spend more than like 2 seconds thinking about? LOL
P.S. A few comments on this absolute nuclear meltdown by Sears include:
- Abigail Spanberger: “When asked if she supports DOGE taking away jobs from thousands of Virginians, my opponent [Winsome Sears] refuses to answer. Let me be clear: protecting Virginia’s workforce is more than a “real issue” — to me, it’s the job of the Governor of Virginia.”
- Rhonda Elaine Foxx (Former Women’s Engagement Director for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris): “Virginia, why is this your LG? It’s giving Mark Robinson vibes…”
- Ron Filipkowski: “She’s about to lose VA by double digits, she can’t raise money, Trump won’t even endorse her, and Trump’s 2024 campaign manager just ridiculed her and said this race is over. Other than that, she’s doing great.
RAJU: You have been critical of the president in the past. In 2022, you said this as—
WINSOME EARLE-SEARS: Is this what you’re gonna keep talking about? I thought we were gonna talk about the issues that are important to voters
RAJU: Hold on. This is the president. The leader… pic.twitter.com/dBV9r49Isp

RAJU: I was just curious if you support the president’s purge of the federal workforce
WINSOME EARLE-SEARS: I’ve given you a clear answer but you don’t want to hear it because it’s common sense
RAJU: So do you support it? Yes or no?

RAJU: Can you guarantee that if you’re elected you will not take steps to further restrict abortion access in Virginia?
WINSOME EARLE-SEARS: Why is it that Black women have 40% of the abortions? Who doesn’t want us to have our babies?
