Virginia Democrats need a new PR team.
Days after Democratic gubernatorial candidate Ralph Northam's campaign fielded a controversy for removing African-American candidate for lieutenant governor, Justin Fairfax, from some of their campaign literature in northern Virginia, Democrats have stepped in it again with another insensitive brochure.
Lolita Mancheno-Smoak, an Ecuadorian-American Republican running for delegate in Fairfax County, Virginia, is the target of the Democrats' latest attack mailer. The artwork was, well, pretty thoughtless.
Social media users (and perhaps the Virginia voters who received the shock mail) were not amused.
