Watch Gillespie Dropkick Northam In POWERFUL First Ad

Gillespie is up in the first true ad of the gubernatorial campaign with a powerful ad focusing on law and order — issues that ring true on immigration, Antifa, and gang violence where Northam campaign is not only weak, but Northam’s base is divided six ways to Sunday.

“The first job of a governor is to ensure public safety; keeping communities, schools, businesses and public gathering places safe. Ralph Northam’s policy in favor of sanctuary cities in our Commonwealth will not make Virginians safer,” said campaign manager Chris Leavitt. “Ed is proud to be the son of an immigrant, and knows we can both welcome legal immigrants and enforce our laws at the same time. As governor, Ed will stand with our law enforcement and first responders, protect Virginia from those who wish to do us harm, ensure that sanctuary cities that are a safe haven for violent criminals here illegally are never allowed in the Commonwealth, and combat violent gangs like MS-13 that The Washington Post recently reported as seeing a ‘resurgence’ in the state. Ed included a ban on sanctuary cities in his detailed plan to combat gangs.”

That sure as hell beats statues, transgenders, and pipelines.

Adams Kicks Off AG Race With Excellent First Ad

I have to say, this is a remarkably positive, sober, and case-making first ad from an Adams campaign that continues to impress — and quite the contrast from a shrill and panicked Herring campaign that knows it has screwed up.

So here is the major theme, and it’s not hard to figure this one out.  Mark Herring literally violated his oath of office — not once, but several times — in order to be an activist rather than Virginia’s Attorney General.

Adams is literally the anti-Herring.

This race is really going to come down to several themes:

  • I’d rather get a beer with Adams than Herring.
  • I’d rather have Adams watch my kids.
  • I’d rather watch a baseball game with Adams than Herring.
  • Adams would carry a conversation; Herring would provide that awkward silence.
  • Herring never blinks.  Adams is a human being.
  • Herring would force you to pay the tab; Adams would pick up the check.
  • Adams probably calls his mother once a week.
  • Adams eats his steak medium rare; Herring well done.
  • Herring probably eats his french fries with a knife and fork.
  • Herring would argue for hours over a Monopoly game; Adams would graciously let you win.

One could go on, but you get the point.  Herring has that creepiness factor that puts everyone on edge.  Adams is just an all-around great American.

Can’t beat that match-up.
