“We will continue to emphasize [that] Democrats are led by a candidate who says she is fueled by rage. What rage, Abigail? Directed against whom and for what purpose?” Earl-Sears began by referring to comment made by Spanberger at a campaign event.
“That’s why I’ve worked tirelessly over the last four years with Governor Youngkin to ensure Virginia is a better place to live, work and raise a family,” the Republican continued, before listing one of her “core pillars” as being tougher on crime than her opponent. “Families deserve to be safe, and Abigail said her first action as governor would be to rescind Yankin's Executive Order 47, which allowed for cooperation between Virginia police officers and ICE to obtain immigration enforcement assistance. This would make Virginia a de facto sanctuary state.”
