Virginia Political Commentator
Wayfair Every Style, Every Home hi from Virginia. AKA America's Next Blueprint for Disaster I guess, but not if we have anything to do with it. I am imminently like half out the door right this very second to go march down to my local polling place and vote NO on one of the craziest redistricting referendums I have ever seen in our country. And we're going to talk about Virginia's proposed new election map today. But I just think it needs to be reiterated again how bad things have gotten in Virginia because we're not talking about California or New York or tragically my home state of Colorado which I watched slowly be destroyed brick by brick to the point that I go home to visit my family now and I don't even recognize the place that I grew up. But these days I am living in Virginia as we are close to Washington D.C. for some family job and everyone knows if you work in D.C. but you have a young family you're supposed to live in Virginia, not Maryland, not D.C. because it is the best option for young families. That is until CIA op fact check. True. By the way, Abigail Spanberger is now elected to be the governor of Virginia as of November and she and all of her buddies in the Virginia state legislature have taken it upon themselves to completely abandon the face that they put on on the campaign trail as these moderates fighting for afford and the mom next door you go to a school board meeting and a barbecue with to instead embrace all out totalitarian fascism. Basically time to abandon ship Today, right now, Virginia is considering a referendum vote where we are all going in to vote no on this thing today that would redraw all of the congressional districts in Virginia. No. God, please, no. No, no, no. And let me just say, far smarter myself and far more qualified pollsters and political experts that have been studying this for decades than myself have already gone on record for the last several months to say Virginia already has one of the fairest election maps in the country when it comes to congressional districts. Of the 11, six right now, I believe, are going to Democrats, five are going to Republicans. It's pretty darn fair. It is by definition a purple state, and it has been trending significantly more blue in the last several election cycles, as evidenced by what just happened in November. But to suggest that the politics of Arlington county are the same as bland county way on the other end of the state is insane. Because if you spend five minutes looking at an electoral map of Virginia, like most pretty purple states, there are teeny, teeny, teeny tiny blue areas on the map that happen to be next to the large cities that dramatically influence the rural population of the rest of the state and the totally moderate, totally normal, completely good for everyone new governor and all of her friends in the state legislature are now taking it upon themselves to redraw the districts for congressional seats in Virginia to make sure those teeny, teeny, teeny, tiny urban population centers are going to control the political interests for the entire state at large. Here is what the Virginia electoral map currently looks like for congressional seats. Pretty even handed, I would say. And here is what it is going to look like tomorrow if the rest of the state does not vote no on the ballot referendum happening today, and the one district in particular everybody is really, really up in arms over, and frankly, you should be, is this one that looks like a lobster claw. That's the best way I can possibly describe it because tell me how this shape could possibly be an accurate representation of the people who live in it. I mean, what. While these psychos are trying to completely take over and radically transform Virginia, one of the things that they're trying to do is to radicalize abortion policy here in the state to make sure that babies can be killed at any time throughout pregnancy. And it was Virginia very recently where a former governor legitimately said we should talk about what abortion looks like after a baby is born. These voices in our culture are loud. And the truth about abortion, that you are killing an innocent baby, is often silent. And that silence has a cost. Right now, women across Virginia and across the country are facing unexpected pregnancies and are being bombarded with pressure and fear before they ever, never even have a chance to just pause to breathe or to hear the simple truth about life and hope. That's exactly why I am standing with our friends at Preborn. At every Preborn Network clinic, a woman is welcomed with compassion, given a free ultrasound, and in that sacred moment gets to see something that she has never seen before, the life that is growing within her. The fear fades away, clarity dawns, and she's offered something that the abortion industry will never, ever give her, the hope of Jesus Christ. When I met my daughter on an ultrasound screen when she was just 11 weeks old, in my tummy, I got to count all of the bones in her fingers and toes. I got to see her little hand wave at me through the screen. And it cemented for me in a whole new way how precious she truly was. She was my daughter. Not this abstract clump of cells or something I couldn't possibly begin to picture, but a real human being, recognizable from the start and worthy of protection. This April Preborn is aiming to share that same hope with other moms in 11,000 gospel conversations across their clinics. And you can help us that goal happen. For just $28, you can sponsor one ultrasound to a mom in need. $140 provides five free ultrasounds to moms in need, but every dollar saves lives and strengthens the truth in a world that too often is denying it. The world may shout its lies, but we will not be silent. We can make a difference for generations to come. To donate, dial £250 and say the keyword baby. That's £250, keyword baby. Or you can visit preborn.comisabel Someone actually did some basic math on all of this. If this red actually goes through in Virginia, the residents of Staunton, Virginia, a town many miles away from here. And I live in Northern Virginia in the thick of all of the insanity right now, Staunton, Virginia residents will be represented by a member of Congress from Fairfax County. And by the way, Fairfax is farther away from Staunton than Fairfax is from New Jersey. Like, riddle me that for a second. But maybe the worst and most frustrating part of this entire redistricting effort from super moderate, Very friendly, serves everyone. Abigail Spanberger Is that all of the signs I have seen across my town in Virginia for the last several months? And frankly, all across the state? I just did an event in Charlottesville. I did another event in Newport News several hours away. I mean, I've been driving all over the state the last several weeks. Every sign that I see in favor of redistricting has gigantic, bold, capitalized, underlined letters, stop MAGA from rigging elections. Oh, you can't make this stuff up. I'm old enough to remember when that was a conspiracy theory at one point in time. But now is it not the people creating lobster claw congressional districts trying to rig and steal elections? I don't. I don't know. I'm tired. The question is, should we even be surprised when it is not New York, not California, not Colorado, Washington or Oregon, but Virginia that just passed one of the most horrifying gun control pieces of legislation in American and by the way, exempted themselves as the government from this gun grab. So virtually every single firearm is now illegal in the state of Virginia. This will get challenged by the Supreme Court. But my actual favorite part of this bill that they just passed literally says, and I quote, the provision of this section shall not apply to any member of the General Assembly. So gun control for you, but not for the elected officials. That's beneath them. This is the same Virginia state government that is trying to tax dog walking, watching Netflix Uber eats and doordash deliveries every time you remodel your house and certainly a whole lot more taxes on your income, all so that they can literally triple their salaries in the state legislature. This is the same Virginia government that says that they care so much about public safety and they're just trying to keep everyone safe, especially from those evil Republicans. Republicans in the federal government, but also then passes a new provision to take a second look at everyone sitting in prison's current criminal sentences so that they can reevaluate if a rapist or a murderer really needs to be sitting in prison today, let's maybe change their sentence dramatically because we care and is actively attempting to eliminate all mandatory minimum sentencing. This is real for child distribution, for and assault and battery, for armed robbery, for manslaughter, for killing someone. We don't need a mandatory minimum sentence for that. And while we're at it, we may as well just criminalize speech entirely and say that if you are remotely critical of, I don't know, let's say radical Islam, Islamophobia is going to be treated as a severe crime in Virginia moving forward and straight to the Gulag, you

the state where Al Qaeda flew a plane into the Pentagon in 2001. So Van Jones and Scott Jennings went at this on CNN earlier this week and Van Jones, like scoffed at Scott Jennings saying, I just can't believe you would call, of all people, Abigail Spanberger such a radical leftist. If that's the standard for radical leftism, boy, have the goalposts moved. Watch this.

Now you have Democrats from all over the country like Barack Obama and George Soros and Gavin Newsom and whoever coming into Virginia to try to basically turn Virginia into the national headquarters for the radical left of the Democratic Party.

If Abigail Spanberger is your definition of a radical Democrat, then I just think the goalpost has been moved quite a bit.

I don't consider her to be a radical Democrat. I consider her to be a lying radical Democrat.

I don't think we should be shy about it, though. Yes, I'm sorry. No matter what the external imagery of Mom Next Door Abigail Spanberger actually is, this is the poster child of radical leftism in America. Everyone wants you to pay attention to Zoran Mamdani and frankly, you should, because it's a comedy show happening up there in New York City right now. Or Gavin Newsom. And again, you should, because California has been driving itself into the ground for the last several decades. But Virginia should scare you because while they're painting themselves continuously as still a purple state, as caring about public safety as running on affordability, they are attempting to essentially tax the air that you breathe to line the pockets of corrupt politicians that are letting violent criminals out of prison to throw you in prison for Islamophobia instead. All while seizing your opportunity to protect yourself by passing the most radical gun control in the country. Again, government officials exempt from these programs and fundamentally changing election law by redrawing all of the districts so that they can continue to stay in power, and even passing provisions in the state legislature that say it would be illegal to hand count a ballot that could otherwise be counted by a machine, all so that they can yell at you about how MAGA is rigging elections. I got to go vote because no way in hell is this happening on my watch. But pay very close attention to whatever happens next because this woman is exactly the blueprint of what they want to do to the rest of the country.
