Desperate to land a knockout blow in a highly-competitive race with national implications, Virginia’s Democratic nominee for governor Terry McAuliffe is swinging wildly. Now, he claims that his Republican opponent Glenn Youngkin wants to purge Virginia schools of black authors.
However, rather than putting the spotlight on Youngkin, the latest McAuliffe attack has led many observers to increasingly scrutinize his eleventh hour campaign strategy. To onlookers, it appears that the former and would-be governor is calling parents racists for wanting their children’s school to notify them if their child’s teacher plans to use “instructional material that includes sexually explicit content.”
Fox News reports:
The books McAuliffe alluded to are “Genderqueer” and “Lawn Boy,” both of which, some parents have complained, contain graphic images inappropriate for adolescents’ eyes. Debate has also raged over teachers’ use of Toni Morrison’s “Beloved,” which contains graphic depictions of sex, violence and bestiality, while describing the horrors of slavery.

In response, the Youngkin campaign told McAuliffe they did not wish to get the book banned, but only to notify parents about the explicit text. Even the Washington Post, Youngkin noted, came to that conclusion.
Besides lying about the two bipartisan parental notification bills he vetoed as governor, McAuliffe conveniently failed to mention that 14 of the Democrats who supported them belonged to the Virginia Legislative Black Caucus.

There is already animus between Virginia’s most successful black politician and McAuliffe.
McAuliffe’s Predecessor Isn’t Pleased
Speaking to ABC 7 News WJLA, former Gov. Douglas Wilder, 90, wasted no time excoriating McAuliffe for his actions since the media exposed Gov. Ralph Northam for wearing a “racist and offensive” costume.
In an interview with 7News, Wilder said McAuliffe used Gov. Ralph Northam’s black face scandal as a springboard to stage a political comeback.
“Terry McAuliffe has used it as a springboard to come back,” said Wilder. “He called on all of them to resign from office. A simple apology wouldn’t be enough for him then because it wouldn’t be a springboard for him to come back. And who did he call to step down? The Lt. Governor who was black. All the people he ran against for governor for the most part in the Democratic Party were black. Is he saying that he’s come back to rescue black people? Or to speak for black people? I think you know the answer to that is no.”
Wilder previously chided Vice President Kamala Harris for recording a campaign ad for McAuliffe that has aired in more than 300 African American churches. (RELATED: Virginia’s Only Black Governor Chastises Harris’ Church Ad)
Wilder suggested that the video would cause those churches to lose their tax-exempt status. Many experts agree, saying it violated the IRS’ Johnson Amendment, which prohibits houses of worship and other 501(c)(3) organizations from sharing messages “on behalf of (or in opposition to) any candidate for public office.”
Perhaps most worrisome for McAulffe, Wilder has already expressed apathy about the election, despite it’s toss-up status. Speaking to reporters last week, Virginia’s first and only black governor openly mused if Virginia Democrats had done enough to earn the support of the black community.

McAuliffe Makes Racially Charged Allegation in School Debate
Treasury Secretary Clarifies Threat Against Bill Pulte
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent acknowledged Wednesday that he threatened to “kick ass” during a heated confrontation last year, while firmly denying reports that he threatened to punch the now-acting Director of National Intelligence “in the face.”
The unusual exchange emerged during a Senate Finance Committee hearing, where Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) pressed Bessent about reports surrounding a confrontation between the two Trump administration officials during the summer of 2025.
According to Bessent, one key detail in the widely circulated account was inaccurate.
While he denied threatening.
