A Black Republican in the Virginia legislature was just denied entry into the Virginia Black Caucus and he called them out for it:
RICHMOND.COM – Del. A.C. Cordoza, R-Hampton, the only Black Republican in the legislature, said Thursday he was denied membership to the Virginia Legislative Black Caucus and lambasted the group’s agenda as “leftist.”
In an emotive speech on the House floor, Cordoza said he had requested membership to the caucus, but had made it clear he did not support the caucus’ agenda, including its support for unions, insurance coverage for abortions and gun control legislation.
“I asked myself what any of those things mentioned have to do with being Black? The answer is, it has nothing to do with being Black,” Cordoza said.
“It’s about being leftists. And that means that the caucus is not about being Black. It’s about being leftists.”
“It’s about being leftists.” Exactly, just like at the Congressional level.
Lt. Governor Winsome Sears retweeted the article this morning, saying they were going to start a new caucus and listed a bunch of possible names:
