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.
