Democrat Group Targeting Black Voters Forgets to Give Money to Black Candidate
The Washington Post had a delicious post this morning highlighting just how screwed up the Democrats are in Virginia. While reeling from the “Leave Justin Fairfax Off of the Mailer” gaffe, now Democrats will have to explain why a national gun group who is pouring money into Virginia with the express purpose of targeting black voters for Democrats — doesn’t give money to the black candidate!
“Everytown for Gun Safety Action Fund, the political arm of one of the nation’s largest gun control groups, is pouring an additional $700,000 into Virginia elections.
“The organization announced Monday it would donate $400,000 to Democratic gubernatorial candidate Ralph Northam and $300,000 to Democratic Attorney General Mark Herring’s re-election bid in the final two weeks before election day.”
Note: no money for Democrat Justin Fairfax. But wait — there’s more!
“Everytown also announced it would redirect $90,000 originally meant for mailers to radio ads targeting black voters. The ad features Lucy McBath, a black volunteer for the group whose son was fatally shot in a Florida gas station parking lot after an argument involving loud music.” It’s the latest sign of the importance to Democrats of African Americans, who make up roughly a fifth of the Virginia electorate.
Northam’s campaign brought former President Barack Obama to rally a heavily black crowd of 7,500 in Richmond on Thursday.
“African-American turnout will be crucial on Nov. 7 — and we want to make sure black voters know what the stakes are in this race,” said Brynne Craig, an Everytown strategist.”
You can’t make this up:
$400,000 to Ralph Northam
$300,000 to Mark Herring
$0 to Justin Fairfax
The Democrats just continue to implode.
