I was 13 -19 when we lived in VA. In Hampton, VA. I was close to Yorktown. Most people who know history know about Yorktown.

These CRT/WOKE pukes and black hate America types are trying to destroy the America we love enough to die for. I was a CAR member as a. very young boy. In upstate NY we lived on Lake Champlain in the summer in the late 40’s-early 50’s. NY and VA are both filled with much history.

I was shot twice in war and darn near died. These idiots are still trying to totally destroy us.

The first link is a list of current Virginia State Senators broken out by district.

The second link is Senator Hashmi’s biography. She has 25 year deep roots in academia.

The third link is a Virginia state map identifying the location of each district in 2023.

The fourth link provides a historical perspective on the 10th Virginia State Senate District. Scroll down and note the very considerable expansion of the district’s boundaries by the State Supreme Court after the legislative redistricting effort failed in 2020. Senator Hashmi was elected to office in 2019 in a much, much smaller district. She is up for re-election in 2023.

So, to summarize: a first-term Democrat Virginia State Senator, with deep roots in academia and possibly facing a tough re-election campaign, decides to use a questionable legislative maneuver to deny a Republican nominee a seat on a Virginia state education review board because the nominee said something mildly offensive about socialism.

Sounds about right.
