Gillibrand: Youngkin Won Because He ‘Followed in Trump’s Footsteps, Lying to People’
Breitbart ^ | Nov 4, 2021 | Pam Key

Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) said Thursday on MSNBC that Republican gubernatorial candidate Glenn Youngkin won because he followed in the footsteps of former President Donald Trump by “lying to people.”

Gillibrand said, “As for the election, I think Virginia was a tough case. I think the Republican candidate lied a lot to the people, to the voters, and really, really, really said things that I think weren’t true. I think parents are worried about their kids. I think parents are worried about schools, and they’re still worried about COVID.”

Guest host Chris Jansing said, “But he did tap into something. He tapped into that fear.”

Gillibrand agreed, “He did tap into fear.”

Jansing said, “He tapped into that exhaustion from coronavirus. And he also tapped into the issues people are talking about when he went and said — and I heard this again from so many voters, groceries are too expensive, he’s going to get rid of the grocery tax.”

Gillibrand said, “Yeah, and he misled parents about schools and safety. And he followed in Trump’s footsteps, lying to people about COVID and what are safe practices for kids.”

Gillibrand said, “I think you have to be honest with the American people, tell them what’s true and right, tell them what you’re for, and tell them what you’re doing.”

She concluded, “When people lie like the candidate in Virginia, we have to be more forceful in explaining that they’re lying to you and scaring you, and that’s not what we are as Americans, and we don’t believe in people who are dishonest. But sometimes, it works. As we saw with President Trump, sometimes it works. It doesn’t mean we’ll play the same dirty tricks. It means we’ll be honest and tell the truth.”

Really...in one term, Trump lowered taxes, stymied illegal immigration with a wall, cut regs, created a stunning economy etc etc.

Biden has turned everything topsy turvy. Gas is $1.50 more a gallon, food prices are out of sight....don't even think of buying a used car....

Nah, he won because your candidate told the truth. The truth, out loud, about what he really thinks about the electorate. The little people. The parents who have the nerve to think that they should have a say in their children’s education. Your candidate lost because he didn’t lie, or hide the truth, like your party always does.

They are afraid of Trump 2024 and are projecting their fears.

I'm surprised she didn't choke on those words or get stuck down by lightning.

Forget it, Jake. It’s MSNBC.

It’s like a schizoid lunatic interviewing an insane patient in the day room of a mental hospital.

He won because a broad bipartisan white coalition is forming to remove anti-white hatred from the public schools and from the government of this country.

Will the GOP step up to lead this coalition? The early signs are not encouraging.
