CLAY: This happened after we went off the air Friday, but you saw The Lincoln Project, Buck, taking “credit” — and “credit” is in quotation marks — for attempting to do some sort of sham Charlottesville reference protest and connecting it with Youngkin.
BUCK: They had guys dressed up as the tiki torch morons —
CLAY: Yes.
BUCK: — and pretending like there were white nationalists in support of Youngkin and it looked so absurd and out of place. Also, there was an African-American member of this group of individuals who were the “white nationalist” tiki torch carriers, and it was meant to be a smear. I think they just got caught with the false flag honestly. The fact that it was incompetent doesn’t mean that the intent wasn’t of the nastiest and most underhanded kind.
CLAY: Which ties in with what Glenn Youngkin is trying to do. It is incredible desperation down the stretch, and if you ever wonder whether a candidate is leading or trailing in his own polls, a lot of times the desperate antics and actions can give you a clue. Here is Terry McAuliffe trying to drum up all the racial resentment he can in the state. Listen to this.
MCAULIFFE: People are very happy that he vetoed the bill that literally parents could take books out of the curriculum. You know, I love Billy and Jack McAuliffe, my parents, but they should have been pickin’ my math or science book we have experts who actually do that, and look what happened. He is closing his campaign on banning books.
It’s created a controversy all over the country. He wants to ban Toni Morrison’s book Beloved. So he’s going after one of the most preeminent African-American female writers in American history, won the Nobel prize, (sputters) Presidential Medal of Freedom, and he wants her books banned. Now, of all the hundreds of books you could look at, why did you take the one black female author? Why did you do it? He’s ending his campaign on a racist dog whistle, just like he started the campaign when he talks about election integrity.
BUCK: Clay, this is… There’s so much here that’s not true and that just shows you what a slimy fraud Terry McAuliffe is, which is not surprising to anyone who listens to this show. But here’s a… First of all, no one’s saying, “We don’t want Algebra 2 taught in schools.” The whole thing of, “Oh, they’re gonna teach math.” It’s CRT. We all know it’s CRT, and Glenn Youngkin is not banning any one book or another. He wants parents to have input, and Terry McAuliffe is hemorrhaging in the polls because he basically is like, “No, parents. You’re a bunch of morons. Let the school district make decisions for you,” including the transgender bathroom policy, by the way.
CLAY: Which is disaster, and we should share this. We’ve tried to hit you with some of the details on the gambling markets. Republicans now, overseas, substantial favorites to win. So, the people who are putting their money down: Republicans are -190, Democrats +145 in that governor’s race. So big dollar movement coming.
