Virginia’s lieutenant governor, Winsome Earle-Sears, spoke for millions of Americans when she told viewers on The Count that ordinary citizens have had enough of political violence and the poisonous rhetoric that fuels it. Her words weren’t a timid plea for civility; they were a sober warning that when a political class normalizes threats and intimidation, the rule of law and everyday safety are the first victims. It’s refreshing to hear a Republican candidate name the problem honestly instead of offering tepid bromides while the chaos spreads.
Earle-Sears rightly pointed the finger at the Democrats’ habit of escalating language and protecting violent fringe actors with excuses and media cover. This isn’t merely about overheated tweets or cable-TV shouting matches — it’s about a culture that rewards performative outrage while punishing law-abiding citizens and civic institutions. Conservatives have long been accused of being the problem, but sober leadership like hers shows who’s willing to stand for order and common sense.
Too many on the left treat politics like a permanent street-war practice session, cheering on mobs when it suits their headlines and denouncing them only when the optics go bad. That hypocrisy is corrosive, and it ought to disqualify a party from governing when it implicitly bankrolls chaos with rhetoric and resources. Earle-Sears is correct to demand accountability — not selective outrage, but consistent law enforcement that protects every American regardless of political stripe.
We also need to call out the media’s role in amplifying the most extreme voices and burying the voices of victims. When networks and outlets reward spectacle and punish those who speak plainly about safety and traditional values, the result is predictable: more noise, more threats, and less trust in institutions. Winsome’s courage in pushing back against that media machine is precisely the kind of leadership Virginia voters desperately need.
Policy follows rhetoric. If we want safe neighborhoods, we must elect leaders who will champion law and order, secure our schools, and support police rather than kneel to the latest viral outrage. Earle-Sears has shown she isn’t afraid to confront the radical narratives that put families at risk and undermine public confidence. The choice in Virginia isn’t subtle — it’s between restoring common-sense governance or continuing down the path of normalized hostility.
Her message should be a wake-up call to every hardworking American who’s tired of living in fear that speech will escalate into action and that political disagreement will morph into criminality. Conservatives should mobilize behind candidates who speak plainly about safety, liberty, and responsibility, because platitudes won’t stop violence or hold radicals accountable. Winsome Earle-Sears is making that case, and voters should meet her honesty with their support at the ballot box.
At the end of the day, politics should be about improving lives, not tearing them apart for short-term gain. Virginia can choose to be a place where parents walk their children to school without fear, where businesses thrive free from vandalism, and where civic debate stays civilized. Electing leaders who understand that basic bargain is the patriotic duty of anyone who still believes America stands for order, prosperity, and common decency.
