Virginia leaders of both games have condemned a racist sign addressed to Lieutenant Governor Winsome Earle-Sears, who grew up during a protest outside a meeting of the school board where he was talking.
Earle-Sears, the Republican candidate in the State Governor's career, spoke at the Arlington County School Board meeting on Thursday, which was reviewing his transgender bath policy. Outside the meeting, where a demonstration of transgender rights was carried out, a person showed a racist sign aimed at Earle-Sears.
The poster's poster, which has gone viral on social networks and caused outrage of the entire political spectrum, said: “Hello, vain, if you cannot share your bath, then blacks cannot share my water source.”

Mike Cherry, R-Cheesterfield, said in X: “Wow. Sad.”
The opponent of Earle-Sears, former representative Abigail Spanberger, D-Va., Also condemned the sign, calling him “racist, abhorrent and unacceptable”, but Earle-Sears felt that his answer should have been stronger.
“A very weak response from a very weak person we know cannot lead Virginia as governor,” said Earle-Sears. “He finally left the hiding place when he should have left a long time ago and defended so many things that are so bad, and has been absent.”
