Leave it to Breitbart to catch up with all the celebrity tweets freaking out at the Glenn Youngkin victory in Virginia -and that of his running mate, Winsome Sears.
There they are, one famous Hollywood or TV personality, one name after another, foaming and fuming about GOP fascists and racists threatening America. The Breitbart list includes “Rosie O’Donnell, Cher, Amber Tamblyn, Jeffrey Wright, Sophia Bush, Bradley Whitford, and Rosanna Arquette.”
Samples of their tweeted rage:

The GOP embraces, yet again, the racist Lee Atwater strategy, this time with their complete and utter bullshit about Critical Race Theory. To paraphrase S.A. Cosby, they want everyone to get over slavery while they can’t get over the fact that they lost the Civil fucking War.

But perhaps the best takedown of this nonsense came when ex-ESPN sports commentator Jemele Hill tweeted that “This country simply loves white supremacy.” Hill was quickly answered by no less than Virginia’s new Lieutenant Governor Winsome Sears. Sears is the first African-American woman to be elected in Virginia history.
Said Sears in a posting with a photo of herself holding an AR-15: “We beg to differ.”
Sears has no hesitation calling out liberals for the racism they show to blacks who don’t fit the liberal idea of a black person. In one interview she said this:
“The Democrats have been successful in instilling fear in people who look like me. I have had white liberals talk down to me — talk down to me, and as if I didn’t exist — simply because I’m a Republican. I mean, how dare you? Who told you you could talk to me that way? Because I’m not the right kind of black? Is that how this works?”
Sears is spot on. In point of fact when any African-American is a Republican or conservative the left will turn on them with a vengeance.
This became obvious when Clarence Thomas was nominated by President George H.W.Bush for the Supreme Court. The vacant seat was caused by the retirement of the Court’s first black justice, Thurgood Marshall retired. Democrats said this was the “black seat” on the Court and demanded Bush nominate a black – and he obliged by nominating then-Judge Thomas. With that the Left’s assault on Thomas began, with Thomas memorably saying this of the massive attacks from the Left in his confirmation hearing:
“And from my standpoint as a black American, as far as I’m concerned, it is a high-tech lynching for uppity blacks who in any way deign to think for themselves, to do for themselves, to have different ideas, and it is a message that unless you kowtow to an old order, this is what will happen to you. You will be lynched, destroyed, caricatured by a committee of the U.S. — U.S. Senate, rather than hung from a tree.”
Time after time African-Americans who are not on the Left are attacked for leaving the decidedly racist liberal plantation where all black people are supposed to think alike because of their skin color. It could be Thomas, Dr. Ben Carson, South Carolina Senator Tim Scott or California Republican gubernatorial candidate Larry Elder and the scenario never changes. Dr. Carson put his finger on the problem exactly when he said of white liberals:
“Well, they’re the most racist people there are. You know, they put you in a little category, a little box — you have to think this way. How could you dare come off the plantation?”
What all these celebrities shrieking that it was racist to elect an African-American woman to be Lieutenant Governor are really all about is being the masters of the liberal plantation – and they will say whatever they need to say to try and intimidate conservative blacks into not leaving the plantation.
Leave it to Cher to insist that the electorate that elected Sears meant that it was voting for a “whites-only club.” Really, Cher? Really? By the way, you live, I believe, in California? Why do I suspect you voted for white guy Gavin Newsom of the “whites only” club instead of the black Larry Elder? Maybe you’re the one into the “whites only” club?
The hard fact of the matter here is that Democrats, whose party was founded by slave owners, run by segregationists and is now deeply into the son of segregation known as identity politics has a political culture that is centered on race. Which means that anyone who disagrees with them is automatically a racist.
As the Virginia election has just shown with the election of Winsome Sears, that dog won’t hunt.
But you can be sure they will keep saying it. Because it’s who they are.
