The Republican candidate Gillespie had already been making racial appeals employing the typical GOP dog whistle tricks.

Not sure how many of you all actually live in VA but every 5 minutes there is an ad calling the Dem candidate a Child Porn lover, gun rights advocate (yes really) and an ardent MS13 supporter.

None of the Dem ads come anywhere close to this level of misinformation.

Political incorrectness is telling the truth in a way, perhaps undiplomatically and devoid of euphemism, that has the potential to offend someone who doesn't care to hear the the blunt, plain-spoken truth.

This carp about Republicans hunting minority children is just a craven lie, bearing no resemblance whatsoever to the truth.

You will do well to learn the difference.

Well the Dems know all about the Confederates and tracking down minorities considering that the Dems were the ones who ran the South back in the days of slavery.
The Dems are the ones that went to war with the North to fight for their heritage which included slave labor.

Why don't we hear about this much?

Basically Gillespie is running a race-based campaign himself.


Our new slogan - when they go low - we go lower. As it should be.

This is so over-the-top that Gillespie will probably win. The Latino Victory Fund is defending this ad in tweets, saying it reflects the fears of children in "immigrant" communities about being separated from their families. Well yes, if your parents broke the law, then it's natural to fear getting caught. It's a shame the parents put the kids in that position, and now use them as political pawns. Also, how did the little black boy and Muslim girl get dragged into this? It reminds me of some ignorant protesters during the campaign who told black Americans if Trump won he'd send them back to Africa.

You should make sure she is not alone with your kids from now on.
