Billionaire Donates $500,000 to Campaign of Virginia Republican Winsome Sears After Liberal Holds Up Racist Sign at Her Event

Last week, a liberal woman held up a racist sign to protest Winsome Sears, the current Lieutenant Governor of Virginia who is running for governor there this fall.

Abigail Spanberger, the Democrat running for governor, offered a tepid response to the sign through her campaign.

The incident brought some great news for Sears, however. Robert Johnson, the billionaire founder of Black Entertainment Television (BET), just donated $500,000 to the Sears campaign. Not bad. Not bad, at all.

The Washington Times reports:

Racist sign prompts BET co-founder Robert Johnson to give Winsome Earle-Sears’ campaign $500K

Robert L. Johnson, the billionaire co-founder of Black Entertainment Television, has donated $500,000 to Virginia Lt. Governor Winsome-Sears’ gubernatorial campaign after she was targeted by a racist sign at a school board meeting.

Ms. Winsome-Sears’ campaign said Mr. Johnson made the donation and condemned the “useful idiot” who displayed the sign at an Arlington County school board meeting.

“Madam Lt. Governor, I was so appalled by the racist diatribe displayed by a useful idiot at a recent press event that I choose to show all the voters of Virginia how Black Brothers stand up to defend and support Black Sisters when confronted with unadulterated racism. I have always been a good investor and that’s why I’m investing in you,” Mr. Johnson told Ms. Earle-Sears, according to her campaign.

A spokesperson for Mr. Johnson and his business, RLJ Companies, did not respond to a request for comment.

The sizeable donation comes one week after Ms. Earle-Sears was confronted by a protester hoisting a sign that said: “Hey Winsome, if trans can’t share your bathroom, then Blacks can’t share my water fountain.”

Abigail Spanberger has been leading in the polls on this race for weeks, but Winsome Sears has closed the gap just in the last ten days. The race is now almost a tie.

Democrat VA Gubernatorial Candidate Abigail Spanberger Wants to Turn Virginia Into a Sanctuary State for Illegal Aliens

Abigail Spanberger, the Democrat candidate for governor of Virginia, is vowing to turn the commonwealth into a sanctuary state by reversing the immigration policies put in place by the current governor, Republican Glenn Youngkin.

Spanberger has also made it clear that she is an ally to the transgender agenda, and would allow boys in girls’ locker rooms and bathrooms.

On nearly every issue, Spanberger embraces the unpopular positions of the far left that the majority of the country rejected in the 2024 election.

Spanberger made her comments about immigration in an interview with the Virginia Mercury:

Spanberger vows to scrap Youngkin’s immigration order if elected governor

Democratic nominee for governor Abigail Spanberger says one of her first acts if elected would be to undo Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s February directive requiring Virginia law enforcement to help carry out federal immigration crackdowns — a policy she argues wastes local resources and undermines community trust.

“I would rescind his executive order, yes,” Spanberger told The Mercury in a lengthy policy interview earlier this month, referring to Youngkin’s Executive Order 47 issued in February. The order gave state police and corrections officers authority to perform certain immigration duties and also urged local jails to fully cooperate with federal deportation operations.

The governor said at the time the measure was meant to keep “dangerous criminal illegal immigrants” off Virginia’s streets. Spanberger countered that Youngkin’s approach illustrates how immigration enforcement can pull local agencies away from their core responsibilities while pushing state agencies into federal civil enforcement.

“Our immigration system is absolutely broken,” she said. “The idea that we would take local police officers or local sheriff’s deputies in amid all the things that they have to do, like community policing or staffing our jails or investigating real crimes, so that they can go and tear families apart … that is a misuse of those resources.”

Spanberger has been leading her Republican opponent Winsome Earle-Sears, the current Lieutenant Governor of Virginia, for weeks but Sears has rapidly closed the polling gap just within the last ten days. The race is now nearly tied.

Democrat Official in Virginia Blames Black Republican Winsome Sears for Racist Sign a Liberal Held at Her Event

As the Gateway Pundit reported last week, a liberal white woman in Virginia held up a racist sign to protest black Republican Winsome Earle-Sears.

Sears is the current Lt. Governor of Virginia, who is running for governor against Democrat Abigail Spanberger.

Ever since this incident, Democrats have been trying to do damage control, but the response below is truly something to behold.

This Twitter/X post is from Mark Broklawski, the vice chair of the Virginia Democrat Party.

It reads:

What happened in Arlington wasn’t just about a meeting. It was about the climate Winsome Sears is creating, one where contempt is currency and neighbors are turned against each other.

@SpanbergerForVA is running on something stronger: a Virginia where we solve problems, not invent enemies.

Rising GOP Star Winsome Earle-Sears Responds to Vile Racist Sign Held by Liberal White Woman

Winsome Earle-Sears is the current Lieutenant Governor of Virginia and the Republican candidate for Governor of Virginia in the upcoming election.

Sears has vocally opposed the idea of boys in girls’ locker rooms and the other gender related nonsense that has been embraced by the left in recent years.

The Gateway Pundit reported that during a political event this week, a liberal white woman held up a vile sign in protest of Sears.

The sign read:

Hey Winsome
If Trans Can’t Share
Your Bathroom
Then Blacks Can’t Share
My Water Fountain

Sears shared her disgust following the incident and called out her Democrat opponent, Abigail Spanberger.

“I’m disgusted, but not surprised.”

“This is the ‘tolerant’ left Abigail Spanberger defends.”

“I’m the sitting Lieutenant Governor, second in command in the former Capitol of the confederate states. I’m an immigrant, a Marine, and above all, a human being. There is no place for this disgusting hatred in our Commonwealth. Anyone who doesn’t condemn this sign is complicit in approving it.”

REPORT: Muslim Student Was Exempted From Suspension in Loudoun County Locker Room Case Where Boys Objected to Presence of Female

A group of boys at a grade school in Loudoun County in Virginia were recently suspended from school because they objected to a female student in their locker room who identifies as male.

The female student even took pictures in the locker room but the boys were suspended for objecting. The case is outrageous.

The Gateway Pundit reported on this story:

The radical madness in Loudoun County, Virginia, just hit a new low. Loudoun County Public Schools (LCPS) has decided to SUSPEND two boys at Stone Bridge High School, not because they misbehaved, not because they broke the law, but because they dared to ask why a girl was in the boys’ locker room.

7News reported earlier this year that LCPS launched a Title IX investigation against the boys after they were caught on video asking the obvious question: Why is there a girl in the boys’ locker room?

That video, however, wasn’t recorded by the boys; it was recorded by the female student who identifies as male. A direct violation of LCPS policy, according to the news outlet.

Yet instead of disciplining the rule-breaker, the school launched a full-blown investigation against the boys themselves.

The school’s Title IX Office determined the boys were guilty of “sexual harassment” and “sex-based discrimination.”

Their punishment? A 10-day suspension, a no-contact order with the female student, forced meetings with administrators, and a permanent smear on their academic records that could destroy their college prospects.

Now it is being reported that one of the boys was exempted from the suspension. He happens to be a Muslim.

Liberal White Woman in Virginia Holds Up Vile Racist Sign to Protest Republican Governor Candidate Winsome Sears

Winsome Earle-Sears is the current Lt. Governor of Virginia and the Republican candidate for Governor of Virginia in the upcoming election.

Sears opposes the idea of boys in girls’ locker rooms and all of the other gender related nonsense that has been embraced by the left in recent years.

During a political event this week, a liberal white woman held up a sign in protest of Sears that must be seen to be believed.

The sign reads:

Hey Winsome
If Trans Can’t Share
Your Bathroom
Then Blacks Can’t Share
My Water Fountain

Take a look:

Old white liberals in Virginia are holding up big signs in front of the black Lt. Governor saying she can’t “drink at their water fountain.”

Incredible how fast libs go back to their racist factory settings when pushed.

Loudoun County Public Schools Lunacy: Boys SUSPENDED for Objecting to Sharing Locker Room with a Female Pretending to Be Male

Child Protective Services Investigated Her 4 Times Because She Let Her Kids Play Outside

Parenting expectations are often unreasonably high—and so is the number of people who believe that kids can’t handle anything on their own.

Passersby too often see an unsupervised child and assume they are unsafe. So they call the authorities, who also often share those super-sized fears. Then parents get investigated simply for trusting their kids with some age-appropriate, location-appropriate independence.

Because of this frustrating cycle, I frequently get letters like the one below. When people ask why I spend so much time trying to pass Reasonable Childhood Independence laws, it’s for people like Emily Fields and her children. Fields is a mom in small-town Virginia who responded to my nonprofit Let Grow’s call for parents willing to speak to child protective services about why such laws are necessary. (Virginia unanimously passed its Reasonable Childhood Independence law in 2023.)

This letter is presented as a stark example of how little trust our country has in its parents and children anymore—and how misanthropic neighbors can weaponize the state at will.

Dept. of Education to cut funding for Va. school districts over trans locker room policies

Alexandria City Public Schools, Prince William County Public Schools, and Arlington Public Schools joined Loudoun County Public Schools on Friday in defending their policies that allow students to access and use school bathrooms and locker rooms based on their chosen gender identity.

The U.S. Department of Education gave the four school districts and Fairfax County Public Schools until Friday to respond to the Department’s demands to comply with Title IX. Their responses are listed later in this article.

After this story was published, the Education Department told 7News it would begin suspending or completely cutting off federal financial assistance to those school districts.

“The Virginia divisions will have to defend their embrace of radical gender ideology over ensuring the safety of their students,” a portion of the department’s statement read.

School district must face ‘deliberate indifference’ claim by gender-confused girl alleging assault

AVirginia school district that allegedly socially transitioned a “gender-nonconfirming” 14-year-old girl into a boy’s identity, hid it from her legal parents, told her to use the boys’ restroom even after boys started threatening her, and “pressured her to recant” those threat claims, will have to defend itself again in trial court.

A split panel of the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals reinstated the lawsuit by Michele Blair, who with her husband adopted their granddaughter Sage at age 2 from foster care, where she had been placed after her father’s death and mother’s inability to raise her.

But it dismissed all but her Title IX “deliberate indifference” claim against the Appomattox County School Board, Superintendent Annette Bennett and its staff and contract counselors, and a dissent accused the majority of “push[ing] past the boundaries” set by the Supreme Court in student-on-student sexual harassment cases.

While the school board was “not entirely unresponsive” to Sage’s threat claims, giving her access to the nurse’s restroom, that falls short of “reasonably calculated” efforts to end her harassment, simply addressing it “in piecemeal,” wrote President Clinton-nominated Judge Roger Gregory, joined by President Biden nominee Judge DeAndrea Benjamin.

The court record shows “no indication” the board took action against the boys on the bus who allegedly “threatened her with sexual violence,” another group of males who “jacked” Sage against the wall and threatened her with violence, or students who “threatened to shoot” her “and told her they knew where she lived,” the majority says.

“In fact, the direct opposite happened” when school counselor Dena Olsen and deputy sheriff Daniel Gunter allegedly interrogated her and tried to get her to take back her claims that the boys were threatening her, Gregory wrote. Olsen had first told Sage to use the boys’ restroom and to go back when other girls reportedly complained about her in the girls’ restroom.

Even after being told to use the nurse’s restroom, Sage “continued to be so fearful for her and her family’s life that she ‘suffered a psychotic breakdown’ and opted to run away from home to save her family,” the majority said.
