When you back citizens into the corner, they'll push back

Rebuked by Republicans for claim Democrats hate white people

Three fellow Republican state senators took to social media to rebuke Sen. Amanda Chase, a GOP candidate for governor, for charging that Virginia Democrats "hate white people" and are seeking the Richmond registrar's ouster because she is white. Sen. Mark Obenshain tweeted: "I've been repeatedly asked to comment on Amanda Chase's most recent offensive statements. Quite honestly, I just don't have the time to address every crazy thing she says. It would be a full time job." Source: Richmond Times-Dispatch on 2021 Virginia gubernatorial race , Dec 9, 2020

Describes herself as Donald Trump in heels

Chase, who announced her bid early this year and has been pounding the pavement ever since, describes herself as Donald Trump in heels.
