Too often we see politicians campaign for law and order but become compliant little puppets once elected. That doesn’t seem to be the case with Lt Gov Winsome Sears, who took it a step farther and called out the real culprits in the sudden uptick in crime across the US. Crime is “coming from the highest levels”, Sears explained in an interview with host Maria Bartiromo. Sears pointed her finger at the Biden administration and every politician below him.
“That’s not going to work for anyone because the leader has to lead. That’s why they’re called leaders and they have to show the right way, the righteous way,” Sears told Bartiromo.
“There is right and wrong, and you can’t look at what’s happening in the streets and smash-and-grab and say, ‘Well, it’s just social justice.’ No, it’s theft, and it’s destroying our economy.”
Sears couldn’t help but note the recent uptick in smash and grab crimes at high-end stores and their correlation to polls. She argued that leaders need to step up, “follow the polls and they don’t have a righteous bone in their body.” She encouraged them to lead properly. New Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin issued an executive order in January banning mask mandates in schools. The order now faces multiple court challenges, but last week, a bipartisan group of Virginia lawmakers moved to end mask mandates in the state’s schools.
A group of 10 State Senate Democrats voted with Republicans for an amendment that would allow parents to opt their children out of masking in schools, a rule that aligns with the Youngkin order, which was signed on his first day in office last month.
Several other states have also moved to eliminate mask requirements in the past few weeks, Fox noted.
“The governor fulfilled his campaign promise and he told everybody if you want to wear a mask, wear a mask, but allow the parents to make that decision for their own children because, as far as we can tell, the children still belong to their parents. They don’t belong to the state, not just yet, not if we can help it,” Sears said on Sunday.
“Some parents filed issues with it, and now we have a bill that’s going through and it looks like it will fully pass, and we’ll have a law here that parents will make that decision after all.”
Democrats have been too obsessed over race but Sears says she living proof that their ‘outrage’ is nothing more than political propaganda.
Sears was sworn in as the first Black woman – and the first woman in general– to hold her position, just days before Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Sears, a Jamaican immigrant who came to the U.S. when she was six years old, hopes that children today can find inspiration from her own experiences.
“Here I am second in command of the former capital of the Confederacy,” she noted on Sunday, stressing that “no one can say then that we haven’t gotten a long way from where we started.”
“And furthermore I’m an immigrant. I wasn’t even born in America. And look, America has given me opportunities to succeed,” she continued.
Sear agreed that America has a long history of oppression and racism adding, “but here I sit to say we are not back in those days.”
