You’d think the first black, female Lieutenant Governor getting sworn-in just south of the Mason-Dixon line would get all kinds of press.
But it turns out, leftists in the media are apparently afraid of Republican Winsome Sears.
And you’ll be stunned by what a Google search doesn’t turn up.
On Saturday, January 15 Winsome Sears was sworn in as Virginia’s first female – as well as the state’s first black – Lieutenant Governor.
But Fox News is the only national network that even covered her swearing-in ceremony.
It seems everyone else in the so-called “mainstream” media would rather pretend Sears doesn’t exist.
In fact, as of the following Monday, a Google search for Winsome Sears and the name of any other major news network including CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC, and MSNBC only pulls up stories from back in November when she was first elected.
It’s especially ironic since all of those networks seem to enjoy pushing Critical Race Theory – the idea that anyone who is not white in America is systematically discriminated against.
It seems if there’s a system at play here, it’s that anyone who is Republican will be “systematically” ignored – even if female and black.
Sears poses a serious threat to leftists who want to force us all to live according to their rules.
She swept into office in the Commonwealth along with Republican Governor Glenn Youngkin and the first Latino Attorney General Jason Miyares.
Within hours of taking office Miyares, also a Republican, announced that he’s launching an investigation into Loudoun County Public Schools.
During the campaign, Democrats tried to accuse the Republicans of politicizing local school board races while literally overlooking the fact that leftist policies allowed a high schooler in Loudoun County to literally get away with rape – in fact, they helped cover it up!
With transgender politics and Critical Race Theory getting higher priority than student safety and basic educational needs, some parents who identified as independents and even some Democrats sided with the Republicans in the last election.
In the wake of the election, which stunned Democrat Party leaders and media pundits alike, CNN even ran a story with suburban moms who voted for Biden in 2020 and Youngkin in 2021.
In the words of one mom, “Our kids are in crisis,” one mom said, “the learning loss is real so we’re in a place where our kids are really far behind and they need a lot of help. They need a lot of additional tutoring, they need a lot of additional time after school to help catch them up—and they’re still not focusing on that. It’s like you’re in front of your house and the driveway is really dirty, but the house is also on fire and you’re using a hose to hose off the driveway instead of putting out the fire.”
By planting herself firmly in the camp with parents who genuinely care about their kids more than politics, Sears has apparently made herself someone the leftist planners who control national newsrooms won’t cover unless absolutely forced.
