McAuliffe accuses Youngkin of racist dog whistling.
Transcript. Excerpt:
TERRY McAULIFFE: [P]eople were very happy that I vetoed the bill that literally parents could take books out of the curriculum. You know, I love Millie and Jack McAuliffe, my parents, but they should not have been picking my math or science book. We have experts who actually do that. And look what happened. [Glenn Youngkin] is closing his campaign on banning books. It's created a controversy all over the country. He wants to ban Toni Morrison's book Beloved. So he's going after one of the most preeminent African American female writers in American history, won the Nobel Prize, has a Presidential Medal of Freedom, and he wants her books banned. Now, of all the hundreds of books you could look at, why did you pick the one Black female author? Why did you do it? He's ending his campaign on a racist dog whistle...
It's racializing to call it a racializing, of course.
... just like he started the campaign when he talks about election integrity. But Chuck, we have a great school system in Virginia. Dorothy and I have raised our five children.
But McAuliffe sent 4 of those 5 children to private school (Catholic school).
Back to the transcript:
Of course parents are involved in it. The question should be could an extreme Republican bill that would allow parents to take books off of shelves, should that be left in the hands of parents or should it be left to the school boards and others who do this every single day and focus on it?
CHUCK TODD: They would argue that bill is not saying --TERRY McAULIFFE: And as you saw in the crowd, everybody clapped when I said it.
CHUCK TODD: I understand that. But they would say this is not about banning a book, this is about informing parents that a book may have some material that not all parents will be crazy about. We should let you know that your kid is going to be dealing with this material. Is that out of bounds?TERRY McAULIFFE: That's not out of bounds. But if you look at what the bill would be, it ultimately would've led to books being removed from our classrooms.
So after all that, it's NOT banning books! It just "would've led to" something. You've got to watch the video at as McAuliffe hears that last question from Todd. There's a painful gap between question and answer, and when McAuliffe finally speaks, it is with a high-pitched yelp. Does he ever answer the question whether it might be an acceptable idea to inform parents about certain objectionable material? (I note that it seems to be a request for trigger warnings.)
And as they say, we're the fourth-best school education system in the country, our K-12 system. We're great. You look at my plan, I'm going to raise teacher pay. I'm going to get children pre-K education, those at-risk three- and four-year-olds.
Now, he's just plugging in his education proposals. I guess you could say he answered when, repeating Todd's language, he said "That's not out of bounds." But he vetoed it anyway, right?
I'm going to get everybody access to broadband. What's Glenn Youngkin's education plan? He wants to ban critical race theory. Well, let me explain to you, it's never been taught in Virginia.
Todd really needed to come in with a question at that point. Even if CRT isn't taught, aren't lessons framed on the insights of CRT? Would he endorse (or accept) teaching children that their skin color puts them on a level of privilege that is different from that of children with a different skin color?
But Todd lets him spill out his canned speech:
Number two, he says he wants to, day one, all masks come off and no teachers get vaccinated. Well, that's life-threatening. We have 1,142 children who have been in a hospital here in Virginia. Two 11-year-olds just died the other day from Covid. He doesn't have an education plan. He's got a Donald Trump, Betsy DeVos, take money out of public schools, put it into private schools. That doesn't work in Virginia. And that's why parents supported me when I vetoed that bill. And I am the one who has the plan to move our education system forward.
CHUCK TODD: You know, if you look at the Washington Post-Schar School poll, on the issue of education... it looks like they have successfully redefined it and have made it the top-issue concern among a list of issues. It's now topped the economy and Covid. Two months ago, that was not the case. Is this a case where they've successfully created an issue in this campaign and you're having to struggle to react to it?
McAuliffe simply continues with nonresponsive material that seems to be all about accusing Glenn Youngkin of racism:
TERRY McAULIFFE: Well, as you see I'm still leading on education because people know I put a record investment last time. I got rid of five SOLs. I redesigned our high schools. People trust me on education. But it's at the forefront here in Virginia as it now is in others. You see what's happened in Georgia and Florida because they're talking about this critical race theory. And as I said before and I'll say it again, it's never been taught in Virginia. I really hate it because it's a racist dog whistle. And all Glenn Youngkin has done in this campaign is run down Virginia, run down our education system, run down our economy. And when you think of this right now on critical race theory, Chuck, it's not taught. So all you're doing is pitting parents against parents, parents against teachers, and they're using children as political pawns. I was in Hampton last night. I met a school board member, said, "Our school boards were fine. As soon as Glenn Youngkin got nominated, all of a sudden these people started showing up creating such a ruckus, calling such obscene things." This was an African American woman. I can't repeat on air what they said about her. This was last night up here in northern Virginia. We just-- listen to this, we just lost a school board member because people are coming into these school boards. She said, "I was getting death threats. But when they said they were going to rape my children, I can't take it anymore." That's what Glenn Youngkin has done here in Virginia. He's created hatred and division just like Donald Trump. And that's why Donald Trump, his final campaign, is going to be for Glenn Youngkin here in Virginia. We don't want Trump.... We don't want Youngkin. We don't want the hatred and division.
Todd allows all that and moves on to another topic without challenging anything.
