Meet Winsome Sears, the bada** conservative Black woman elected as Lt. Gov. in Virginia

As we told you last night, Glenn Youngin was not the only Republican winner last night. Meet Winsome Sears, Virginia’s next Lieutenant Governor:

I've seen enough: Winsome Sears (R) defeats Hala Ayala (D) in the Virginia lieutenant governor's race. #VAGOV

Where’s the media coverage?

PREDICTION: Media will not obsess over the fact that Winsome Sears just became the first Black woman elected to Lt. Governor of Virginia because she is a Republican.

Never change, guys:

Neither CNN nor MSNBC are airing Virginia's Republican Lt. Governor-elect Winsome Sears' victory speech.

Like we said in the headline, bada**:

Shouldn't media be all over a black woman who immigrated from Jamaica, served in the Marines, has a Masters degree, ran a homeless women's shelter, raised 3 kids, and is now running to be the highest ranking minority woman gov't official in Virginia history?

From her victory speech last night, “I’m telling you, what you’re looking at is the American Dream”:

Watch:

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." pic.twitter.com/NoJJc6qxBe
