Virginia GOP candidate rips liberal journalist who called Child Protective Services over Columbus Day tweet
Fox News
Virginia Republican state Senate candidate Tina Ramirez condemned journalist David Leavitt for calling Child Protective Services on her over a Columbus Day tweet.
"I teach my daughter real American history. I refuse to join the radical left’s campaign to erase history," Ramirez tweeted. Responding, Leavitt shot back, "Why are you celebrating torture, rape, murder, and enslavement?" He then encouraged his more than 300,000 followers, "Can someone please call child care services on Tina Ramirez who's teaching her child to be a racist?"

"This so-called ‘journalist’ obviously doesn’t understand who he picked a fight with. I’m a mother, first and foremost, and my Mama Bear instincts kick in when it comes to defending my daughter and how she is raised," Ramirez said in a statement to Fox News Digital. "I also stand up to tyrants around the world in defense of human rights, liberties, and dignity as my day job. So, I won’t be bullied or silenced by some unhinged leftist trying to censor strong conservatives with the same tactics we see dictators use around the world.
