Lt. Gov. Winsome Sears Says Voters Are Tired of Black and White People Being Pitted against Each Other, Fires Back at 'SNL' for Gun Joke
- Earlier this month, Winsome Sears became the first black woman elected lieutenant governor in Virginia’s history. But Sears isn’t about to let identity politics change her perspective or engage in racial politics.
- On the campaign trail, Sears refused to adopt the victim mentality that many do.
- “When you tell me that I’m a victim … how? Tell me how,” she said during a campaign speech. “Everything I’ve had, I’ve had to work for. Everything.”
