It’s moments like this that end campaigns. Terry McAuliffe sealed his fate against Glenn Youngkin after he imploded in the debates, where he went full communist on education and parental rights, saying parents shouldn’t have a say in what schools teach their children.
The ‘We own your kids’ attitude killed him. In 2025, Republican gubernatorial candidate Winsome Sears addressed a meeting of the Arlington County School Board after a sex offender gained access to a girls’ restroom at a local high school, claiming to be transgender. Of course, rich white liberals came out to rally for this insanity to continue. And one sign made the event go viral: some woman had a poster that said, “Hey Winsome, if trans can’t share your bathroom, then blacks can’t share my water fountain.”
Democrats are going back to their Klan roots. It caused an issue, though the woman claimed it was done as satire. And like Democrats on messaging, it missed the mark by 137 miles. Arlington Democrats condemned the sign and tried to create some distance, but their remarks got a bit funny when they said this woman is not affiliated with them. Guys, we know she’s likely not part of the organization proper, but she supports you. Whether or not that’s fair or not is a moot point since liberals made it that way—this would be national news, with MSNBC and CNN special segments if the parties were switched.
The Arlington Democrats issue the following statement:

We all saw @arlingtondems Chair Steve Baker say “your sign is getting attention on the news… negative attention,” followed by her dismissive shrug.

This statement is Orwellian. https://t.co/vVbV4aCrqt
👀 @arlingtondems’ Chairman Steve Baker was in plain sight of Anita Martineau’s racist sign, hours before he whispered to hide it since it was going viral. They all thought it was clever, until 🇺🇸 called out the racism. @SpanbergerForVA’s supporters were ALL in for boys & men in… https://t.co/vY5ioolGzq pic.twitter.com/jz5G4VuuaN

Also, this woman stuck around. It’s not like she was asked to leave. All the tactics liberals have used to cancel people are now eating their own.
