Despite the data reported here, Gov refused to allow the next phase of reopening, which de facto applies only to the law-abiding as mobs roam free in the capital city. Percentage of positive COVID-19 tests continues downward trend in Virginia https://t.co/lgrpp1ZbUu via @rtdnews
Virginians have suffered for the better part of two years under a state government that uses public health and safety challenges as opportunities to advance far-left ideology that restricts the rights of the law-abiding, rewards criminals, and divides citizens against each other.
The Democrat majority is moving full speed ahead on Zoom to diminish public safety and undermine the Commonwealths exceptionally low recidivism rate that was made possible by Republican policies and is currently the best in the nation.
It is an honor to have been selected for this important service to the Commonwealth by this appointment to the first Virginia Redistricting Commission. https://t.co/voFU0mDMQz
Wishing you and yours a happy holiday season. https://t.co/dOwXU1M90r
Democrats are pushing legislation to fundamentally change how your vote for President will be counted, potentially giving away our choice by joining the National Popular Vote compact. This would upend the Electoral College system provided for in the US Constitution. https://t.co/4WLl2h3tCs
It was an honor to take the stage last night to help welcome @GlennYoungkin to Southside Virginia at a fantastic rally in Martinsville. Our next governor gave an inspired speech to the assembled crowd immediately following his live interview on @FoxNews https://t.co/BUqe1NgeX0
Many of us have raised the alarm about the several scandalous decisions from the Virginia Parole Board over the past several months. Now, at least some of those concerns have been substantiated. Watchdog Agency Redacts Findings About Va. Parole Board https://t.co/4MYSuvgdgH
Even @VaCapitolPolice suffered injuries from open conflict. Contrast that with the massive show of force he organized ahead of the peaceful 2A demonstration in January, smearing participants before they arrived. Truly outrageous.
