DNC chair joins liberals accusing Youngkin, critical race theory opponents of using 'a racist dog whistle'
Fox News
Ahead of Republican Glenn Youngkin's gubernatorial win in Virginia, Democratic National Committee chairman Jaime Harrison became the latest liberal to accuse him of "a racist dog whistle" for siding with parents concerned about the teaching of critical race theory.
But for Democrats like Harrison, CRT opponents like Youngkin are stoking racial hatred.
"This is a dog whistle to divide people," Harrison said on MSNBC Tuesday night before polls closed. "And so let’s call it what it is. It is about racial divisions, racial hatred, racial animosity. And that’s what they want to focus on right now. But what Terry [McAuliffe] wants to focus on is all of the people in the Commonwealth of Virginia, how he can continue to deliver for them, making their lives better. And that’s what all Democrats want right now. It’s sad to see where the Republican Party is going, because they have become a party of fascism and fear."
