USA Today has a piece today about “historic” local electoral victories for people of color.
That’s neat, USA Today. But we can’t help but get the feeling that you’re forgetting someone ...
Mark Hemingway ~ By the way, the words "Winsome Sears" and "Jason Miyares" appear nowhere in this article.
Bang up journalism, USA Today.

Ah! That’s who it is!
Winsome Sears is Virginia’s next lieutenant governor, and she is not only a person of color, but she’s also a woman on top of that.
Townhall.com ~ Lieutenant Governor Elect Winsome Sears: "There are some who want to divide us and we must not let that happen. They would like us to believe we are back in 1963 when my father came ... In case you haven’t noticed, I am black, and I have been black all my life."

She’s also a Republican, though, which apparently makes her a lot less interesting to USA Today.
Cuban-American Republican Jason Miyares was elected Virginia Attorney General yesterday.
RAGA @RepublicanAGs ~ Congratulations @JasonMiyaresVA, Virginia's next Attorney General!
Maybe he’s one o’ them “white Hispanics” or something, so he doesn’t count.
Mr ADK ~ Hey @USATODAY, I think you forgot a bigger victory @WinsomeSears. Oh never mind, she doesn't fit in your narrative, she's @GOP.
Yeah ... they didn’t really forget her. They ignored her.
Yes, because Democrats are the true racists.
Michele Schiesser ~ Typical.
Unfortunately typical.
Amelia ~ I, for one, am shocked.
PaisFigo ~ If the media pretend that Republican badass Winsome Sears doesn't exist they can keep with the White Supremacy narrative.
Davis Goodwin ~ Further proof that this isn’t about people of color, it’s about the left’s ideology.
It’s about the media’s ideology. Which so often conveniently overlaps with the Left’s ideology.
Ted Cruz ~ The corrupt corporate media isn't interested in reporting accurately. They're only interested in advancing their leftist agenda.
Fact check: true.
Noam Blum ~ I would really love a Stelter or a Darcy to explain how stuff like this isn't responsible for the completely eroded trust that so many people have in the media. It's not that we're being told that you're bad. We're seeing it for ourselves.
Donald Trump Jr. ~ Enemy of the people.
The essential American soul is hard, isolate, stoic, and a killer. It has never yet melted. ~ D.H. Lawrence
