Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears has become a political lightning rod after calling out Richmond leaders, including Mayor Levar Stoney - a potential 2025 rival for governor - following Tuesday's mass shooting after the Huguenot High School graduation at the Altria Theater.
We grieve for the victims and the families who lost loved ones tonight. I'm also ANGRY. I'm angry that families attending a graduation celebration can't do so safely. When do we say Enough is enough and lock up the criminals responsible for terrorizing our communities? pic.twitter.com/4NrAZVE53u

VA's proud AK-47 wielding LG just hijacked an informational police press conference about a horrific Richmond high school shooting to attack Democrats instead of console victims in hospital fighting for their lives 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️@VASenateDems@shannonrwatts@bradybuzz@GIFFORDS_orgpic.twitter.com/gHYwPUmZhk

Gun violence is the leading cause of death for kids and teens. Don't give us your thoughts and prayers now when you refuse to come to the table on common sense reforms. https://t.co/StLVwdNw3P
Where is this self righteous outrage coming from with the LG in the aftermath of the shooting in Monroe Park? Did she not campaign with an assault rifle? Did she not attend NRA meeting immediately in aftermath of Uvalde? Gun violence is caused by guns
Imagine you have just experienced one of the most traumatic moments in your life, gun violence, and a person who has done absolutely nothing to curb gun violence runs to the scene to offer even more NOTHINGNESS. It’s embarrassing and shameful at this point. https://t.co/PUnkhI0giV
