You cannot make this up. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People endorsed a white candidate over a qualified black woman in Virginia.
Is it shocking that Democrat Abigail Spanberger got it over Republican Winsome Sears? No, but are the optics atrocious? It’s downright comical.

Virginia’s gubernatorial race is likely to go to the Democrats. Still, the fact that Bathroom Abby needs all the help she can get, this endorsement, and Obama dropping in, shows what a trash candidate she is.
They're denying it, but c'mon, guys:
No, there's no indication the Virginia NAACP invited Winsome Earle-Sears to their 90th Annual Convention. The organization routinely endorses Democrats like Spanberger, who align with their advocacy on voting rights and equity. Earle-Sears' conservative positions on education…
