VA-GOV: GOP Gubernatorial Candidate Winsome Earle-Sears Dismisses Concerns of Virginians Who Have Lost Jobs

[RandySF]

VIRGINIA – A new report from WTOP details the latest example of Winsome Earle-Sears’ defending Donald Trump’s attacks on Virginia’s workforce and economy that have put thousands of Virginians at risk of losing their jobs.

When asked about the federal layoffs that are jeopardizing the jobs and livelihoods of thousands of Virginians instead of offering resources or support to Virginians, Sears gave them this helpful advice: “Do not fret.”

The comments follow her downplaying Virginia job losses to former Trump Co-Chair John Fredericks, saying that “this is life happening” and are the latest in Sears’ ongoing defense of Trump’s attacks on Virginia’s workforce and economy.

The John Fredericks Show

Winsome Earle-Sears: How many of you have ever lost the job? Raise your hands. I’m raising my hand. I have. Exactly, just about everybody has lost a job.

Sears: This is life happening. It is life happening. Nothing in this life is guaranteed, well the only thing they say is death and taxes, those are guaranteed.
