As the bullpen begins to fill with Democratic presidential hopefuls, Clinton, who still doesn’t believe she actually lost to President Donald Trump in 2016, is still rumored to be one who runs to take back the White House from Republicans.

Northern Virginia Simply Cannot Afford Jennifer Wexton
“If I see one more false, negative ad from Jennifer Wexton my head’s gonna explode.”
Those are the first words in the new ad supporting incumbent Republican Congresswoman Barbara Comstock (VA-10), with actual voters in the district airing out their grievances with the constant negativity and blatant falsehoods emanating from the mouth of the campaign of Democratic challenger and progressive charlatan Jennifer Wexton. Although Election Day is just over 10 days away, it seems that those in the Northern Virginia congressional district are becoming fed up with consistent caterwauling from a cantankerous, left-wing loon that is more worried about agitating her way to Washington that she is actually addressing the needs of the district.
After all, if Wexton makes her way to Congress, her partner in crime “MS-13 lover” Nancy Pelosi will become once again the speaker of the house, something which even many Democrats do not want. Recently, Vice President Mike Pence commented on this potential situation based on his personal experience as a former member of the House of Representatives which was led by Pelosi.
“I was in Congress the last time Nancy Pelosi was speaker of the House,” he said, “and you never want that to happen again.”
Nevertheless, there are issues that will harm middle class Virginians if Wexton gets elected, other than the speakership of Pelosi.
During her campaign, Wexton promised to raise taxes on middle class families by an average by up to $2,400 a year and will slash the $2,000 child tax credit when she gets to Washington.
But wait, there’s more…
As stated in the ad, Wexton has also pledged to raise meals taxes, gas taxes, state and regional sales taxes, property taxes, a tax on hybrid cars, taxes on car titles, small businesses taxes, hotels taxes, taxes on health plans, taxes on drug manufacturers, and much, much more that she is not telling voters about.
Wexton is out of touch with the district. As the most progressive legislator in the General Assembly, she cares more about resistance, compared to Comstock’s results.
The truth is that Northern Virginia simply cannot afford her.
