Reid: Youngkin Rode a ‘Wave of Fragile Feelings to Victory’ on the ‘Boogeyman of CRT’
‘The Republican Party is all aboard when it comes to stoking the anxieties of conservative white suburbanites to maintain control’
TRANSCRIPT:
REID: "The Republican Party is all aboard when it comes to stoking the anxieties of conservative white suburbanites to maintain control, especially now that Glenn Youngkin rode a wave of fragile feelings to victory in Virginia last week on the boogeyman of Critical Race Theory and buoyed by a little book banning. Namely, Beloved, Toni Morrison’s novel about the horrors of slavery and its legacy of black pain, which is apparently really about white feelings, since Youngkin's closing message was an ad featuring a white parent who advocated banning the book in 2013, because it gave her son, a high school senior, nightmares."
