What you are looking at is
what you are looking at is
the american dream.
I am not even first generation
American,
I was in the marine corps. I was
still a Jamaican, but this
country has done so much for me.
I was willing willing to die
for this country,
cheers and applause
its an historic night. Yes, it
is,
but I didnt run to make
history.
I just wanted to leave it better
than I found it.
Cheers and applause
Steve on the verge of making history
winsome seriously iswinsome sear
the first black lieutenant
governor of Virginia.
She joins us now.
Congratulations! Winsome!
Thank you, Steve
Good Morning to you and your
viewers Steve. How did you do it
Steve? How did you do it?
It was a God thing Steve.
I cant find the words
because still processing it,
we had a rag tag staff.
We have little money,
Outspent outgunned. If you will
out endorsed out everything
and we just worked and worked
and what we did. We went to the
voters
knocked on doors
and had a little conversations
with people about the issues
we went and talked with men and
women who were formerly
incarcerated, trying to come back
used to run a Mens prison
ministry for two years
every Wednesday at 600. I
delivered a message of hope.
You know America is the land of
second chances and thats how we
did it
Steve sure. I know that your
opponent kept referring to Glenn
Youngkin Trump Wannabe and
mentioned Trump Trump Trump
and Joe Biden the same thing.
This is a brutal blow for Joe
Biden and his agenda,
and I know you are not concerned,
especially with what is going on
in Washington.
But you know when you have
been out on the stump in the
Commonwealth of Virginia
hasnt. There been just a
feeling, as you talk to the
people, that the progressives in
the Democratic Party have pulled
the nation toward the left, and
yesterday what happened is N
Virginia was essentially saying
hold on.
We dont want to go that far to
the left.
Actually, what happens in
Washington serves us greatly in
Virginia.
As you know, NATO is hawnked in
Virginia as well as we have the
largest naval base in the world
Pentagon in Virginia
Glenn Youngkin, as the
commander in chief as governor,
would be also commander in chief
of the Virginia National Guard.
So, and I would be his second
so were concerned,
but I think what has happened
with the progressives is that
they have pitted all of us
against each other so that they
can swoop in and be our
political savior,
and we are saying that you
know we have to be one
Virginia.
I have one many lieutenant
governor
im not going to be representing
Republicans only
im, Republicans Libertarians
Green Party Democrats,
everybody.
We have to learn to live
together and get along, so we can
have peace,
Steve Winsome. When you look at
exit polling, it shows not only
were you and it Glenn Youngkin
able to motivate and enthusiasm
the Republican Party to show up,
but suburban independents.
Important message was
obviously resonated with them.
Absolutely
because we were talking about
the bread and butter issues. We
are talking about parents who
want to have a say and should
have a say and by right have a
say in the way that their child
is being educated
and you dont want to get
between Momma Bear and her cub
and Pappa bear too
for that matter.
We are concerned about the
education
we are concerned about safety.
Our communities, are they safe?
Are our neighborhoods, safe,
thats job number one and then,
of course, we want to ensure
that we have a business
environment that allows
businesses come to Virginia.
We cant afford the right to
work.
We have talked about that.
There are so many things that we
can do together rather than
being at each others. Throat,
winsome z looks like you will be
probably declared the winner a
little later on today.
Thank you very much for starting
your day today with Fox AMP
friends and congratulations.
Thank you for having me
and thank you Virginia for our.
