66,000 'Virginians' Just Sneakily Got Voting Rights – Here's What Democrats Aren't Telling You
Teri Christoph
You know that feeling that parents get when their kids are in another part of the house "playing" and are being entirely too quiet? There's always some sort of calamity or destruction awaiting discovery by mom or dad.
That's the feeling Virginia conservatives have had after Democrat Gov. Abigail Spanberger's first six calamitous months in office. She's been staying suspiciously under the radar of late after getting the judicial smackdown on her attempts to gerrymander the congressional map and outlaw the sale of "automatic weapons" and high-capacity magazines.
Sure, she's been on social media patting herself on the back and taking credit for things that were put into motion by her predecessor, Republican Glenn Youngkin (and even glomming onto President Trump's renovation of Dulles Airport). She also just took a taxpayer-funded boondoggle to France, Italy, and the United Kingdom, billing it as an "international economic trade mission."
It now seems that while everyone's attention was focused on lobster maps and gun grabs, Spanberger was slowly restoring voting rights to tens of thousands of convicted felons who call Virginia home.
Except ...
She's not touting the "felons" bit, she's claiming to have reversed "disenfranchisement" that was “a shameful relic of our Jim Crow past.” And it was all the fault of the Republicans who came before her.
Here's her announcement:
She even gave herself a nice siren emoji, thinking she was real hot stuff in making this announcement. What that siren actually does is warn Virginians that, yet again, Spanberger is propping up criminals while simultaneously doing everything she can to erode the rights of law-abiding citizens.
And many in the media are happily reporting to duty as Spanberger water carriers. Nary a mention that these "Virginians" are also convicts.
