Ralph Northam is leaving office as his own lost cause, condescendingly lecturing us all from some assumed moral high ground because he read the book “Roots” and then went on a non-stop reconciliation tour. Saturday can’t come fast enough.

I am deeply honored to be the next Speaker of the Virginia House of Delegates – the first Black person to serve in this role. The voters were clear on Tuesday that they wanted leadership that would move Virginia forward and that is exactly what I will do as your next Speaker!

America has never postponed a presidential election—not through two World Wars, a Civil War, or the Spanish flu. The President's suggestion to delay the 2020 election is troubling, dangerous, and another sign he has lost touch with reality.

I was disappointed, but not surprised, to see some Democratic legislators endorse these anti-Semitic agitators. Barricades and assaults on police are not merely innocent, non-violent protests, and “from the river to the sea” messages demonstrate hateful and genocidal intentions.
