Virginia Lt. Gov. Earle-Sears defends gun rights at Texas NRA gathering
Earle-Sears, who drew national attention during last year’s election campaign by appearing in ads with an assault-style rifle strapped across her dress, gave a keynote speech for a women’s lunch at the NRA’s annual conference in Houston. Several public figures have backed out of the NRA event in the wake of the horrific shooting, in which 19 children and two teachers were killed.
Youngkin’s office did not directly respond, but issued a statement expressing sympathy for the families of shooting victims and saying that the governor had assembled education, health and public safety secretaries to ensure that they are protecting Virginia schools.
She characterized America as “in a battle for her children,” and said the country weeps for social ills, from “the breakdown of the family” to “fatherless homes,” from “lack of respect for fellow men” to “countless Black men murdering each other” and “the onslaught against the liberty of thought and expression.”
Society frees its criminals so they can pillage and plunder “in the name of social justice,” she said, and meanwhile fails to teach children to read. Mental health is deteriorating, worsened by “covid protocols.” Fathers are not present because “we have emasculated our men,” she said.
