Sears has repeatedly defended and downplayed Donald Trump’s attacks on Virginia jobs
VIRGINIA – Today, CNBC announced that Virginia lost its “Top State for Business” ranking in part because of Donald Trump’s attacks on Virginia jobs that Winsome Earle-Sears has cheered on, downplayed, and dismissed. Sears was caught on tape saying “the media is making it out to be a huge, huge thing… and I don’t understand why.”
“As Virginians have lost their jobs and faced layoffs and uncertainty, Winsome Earle-Sears has cheered on Trump’s attacks on the Commonwealth’s jobs and economy and said she doesn’t understand why this is a ‘huge, huge thing.’ Virginia losing its ‘top state for business’ ranking is another devastating impact of these attacks on jobs and a reminder that Virginians can’t trust Winsome Earle-Sears to lead the Commonwealth,” said DPVA Spokesperson Maggie Amjad.
