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, [1] 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!
From the WaPo: [2]
“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 [3], 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.
