Louise Lucas, Do Better.
Virginia, I give you Louise Lucas, your President Pro Tempore of the State Senate:
Such eloquence! Such a command of the English language! Positively pithy!
Doesn’t she make you proud?
Consider: This is an 80-year-old grandmother. The boss of Portsmouth’s Democrat political machine. A former shipyard worker turned politician who hasn’t lost an election since her first victorious run for the state legislature in 1991.
She’s always been a tough politician, a pit bull even. But the appearance of Donald Trump on the national stage and especially GOP Gov. Glenn Youngkin on Virginia’s has turned her into a bitter, foul-mouthed swamp monster.
Consider what this woman had to say when she began using a cane this summer due to a bum knee.
Keep it classy, Louise.
And shame on the voters of Portsmouth who return her to the General Assembly over and over.
Do better.
