Attorney General Jason Miyares, in an interview with Fox News on Tuesday, said “I like to say Virginia is not a red state or a blue state – it’s really just a common-sense state…voters felt like the far-left monopoly had really gotten off the rails pushing a lot of issues that were way outside where most mainstream Virginians were….”. That captures it in noticeably clear terms. Virginians will put up with a great deal and understand the right to have differences of opinion, which is what democracy is all about. However, at some point all Virginians, Democrat and Republican say enough is enough and the extreme positions taken by the General Assembly the past two years do not reflect mainstream Virginia values. Attorney General Miyares is taking bold action to reverse those extreme positions and we applaud him for doing so. This will not be easy, but he must take this action, and he must have the right people on his staff who believe in what mainstream Virginians believe. We can rely upon Attorney General Miyares to keep us informed and he will engage with both those who agree or disagree to explain his position on any action he takes, and why it benefits all Virginians. Let common-sense prevail, once again, in the Attorney Generals office!
