I was disgusted when I saw the Republican candidate for governor, Glenn Youngkin, surrounded by Black folks at a recent news conference at Virginia Union University.

Do these Black folks not know that he had a commercial on TV where he was surrounded by a large group of white men in black suits with two token Negroes and two token Asians in the background with the implication that we will be taking over?

Do these Negroes know that he is a follower of former President Trump, who calls white supremacists good men?

Do they not know that Donald Trump is behind the movement to suppress Black votes?

Do they not know that Donald Trump was behind the January insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, yet this candidate is endorsed by Trump?

Glenn Youngkin is a wolf in sheep’s clothing, using his money to lure Black votes.

Wake up, Virginia Union. Do not be deceived. God is not mocked.

We do not need a Trumpkin in the Governor’s Mansion. Mr. Youngkin’s words seem nice, but he is trying to buy this election.

Former Gov. McAuliffe, the Democratic candidate for governor, get your act together. Black people, get your act together before it’s too late and we have a Trumpkin in the mansion.

Black preachers, Black politicians, white folks, Asian folks, young folks, all folks — wake up and support Terry McAuliffe for governor.
