Lieutenant Governor of Virginia Winsome Earle-Sears, who made history as the first Black woman elected statewide in the commonwealth and is now running for Governor of the state, was on the receiving end of a dose of liberal hate while trying to enjoy a college football game.
In addition to her public service to the people of Virginia, Sears also served the American people as a Marine, including being a logistics officer from 1983 to 1986.
Despite her commitment to our country, a white, liberal man sitting a few rows behind Sears started harassing the Lt. Governor during a James Madison University football game.
The man yelled, “Go back to Haiti!” (Sears was born in Jamaica btw.)
After mugging for the camera, he then angrily yelled, “Traitor!” at her.
Nothing screams liberal more than telling a White man telling a Black conservative woman what she is allowed to believe.
Watch:
White, racist, liberal Democrat at the @JMUFootball game appears to shout at @WinsomeSears:

Sears responded publicly to the disgusting behavior.
“I thought Democrats were supposed to love everyone… and just to be clear, I’m Jamaican. But I have nowhere to go back to — because America is my home.”

She added, “I’ve been called names no one should ever hear, and I’ve watched people hold racist signs meant to shame me.”
“And because I have an R next to my name, few care.”
“But I am no victim..”
“Words won’t break me, and they won’t stop this campaign. We are going to win.”
