Sears slams Pelosi ahead of Virginia election: 'Take care of your own backyard'
Washington Examiner ^ | November 06, 2023 | Heather Hunter

Republican Virginia Lt. Gov. Winsome Sears responded to a social media video made by former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Democratic Virginia state Sen. Louise Lucas to target Democratic voters with a message about women's rights to abortion and "MAGA Republican extremists."

"From attacking our freedoms and trying to jail women and their doctors, MAGA Republican extremists are out of control, " Democratic Virginia state Sen. L. Louise Lucas said in a video with Pelosi.

...

"Democrats have momentum. Virginians will be voting to protect women's rights, fund public education, and address the kitchen table needs of working families," Pelosi also said in the video.

Lucas added in the video posted to Pelosi's social media, "Tell [Gov.] Glenn Youngkin [R-VA] and Donald Trump to stay the hell out of your doctor's office."

Sears pushed back with her own social media message directed at Pelosi and Lucas.

"Why don't you take care of your own backyard before you start talking about us, Nancy Pelosi?" Sears said in reaction on Monday.

Sears added, "You got enough problems of your own. Handle that first and maybe we'll listen to you."

In an interview on WMAL, Sears suggested where Pelosi's attention should be focused.

"Has anyone asked Nancy Pelosi when they are going to start cleaning up the filth and the literal feces that are lining the businesses?" Sears said of Pelosi's San Francisco. "Has anyone asked Nancy Pelosi if she is going to take care of the people who are leaving?"

...

Pelosi campaigned with several Virginia Democrats, including Lucas and Virginia Democratic Party Chairwoman Susan Swecker, over the weekend.

Republicans hold a slim majority in the state's House of Delegates and are aiming to flip the Democratic majority in the state Senate during the state election on Tuesday.

Both Democrats and Republicans have aggressively spent and campaigned in Virginia. Youngkin has been pushing the "Secure Your Vote" initiative to encourage voters to do early voting and absentee balloting.

At Youngkin's rally on Monday, many rally attendees held signs reading "Hold the House. Flip the Senate."

Pelosi is not the only high-profile Democrat campaigning in Virginia.

Neighboring Gov. Wes Moore (D-MD) has been campaigning in Virginia for Democratic candidates, including transgender Virginia Del. Danica Roem, ahead of Tuesday's election.

Barack Obama recorded a robocall for Virginians to "make our voices heard."

When I’m king use of tired political cliches like “kitchen table” will be a capital offense. Likewise proclaiming proposals “dead on arrival,” clipping “-gate” on the names of scandals,
“Having conversations,”
“Doubling down,” etc

Republicans cannot ignore the abortion issue. They need to paint those people as extremists, which they are.

It’s all a shame. But if voters sat out, not much we can do about that. Democrats are not sitting out for sure.
