Jason Miyares to bring his ‘grassroots’ referendum block campaign to Verona next week

Jason Miyares, who couldn’t win re-election in a race with a guy who sent threatening texts about a former state legislator, thinks he can rally rural Virginia to block the congressional redistricting referendum.

Miyares, the former attorney general, also isn’t aware of the definition of “grassroots,” with him calling his whistlestop tour of hill country planned for next week “grassroots events.”

“Grassroots” isn’t something that comes top down from a former elected statewide official, just in case you were wondering.

Miyares will be making a stop in Verona on Tuesday, March 17, a seven-damn-thirty in the morning on behalf of Virginians for Fair Maps, which is headed up by Miyares and his co-chair, Eric Cantor, who was the House Majority Leader before losing his seat in the district that later gave us Abigail Spanberger.

Now Cantor is vice chairman and managing director at Moelis & Company, a global independent investment bank.

“Grassroots.”

Quote here from Miyares on the “grassroots” effort:

“I am all-in to stop this unfair and undemocratic attempt to redraw our congressional maps and silence millions of people,” Miyares said, nonsensically.

Who are the millions of people being silenced?

We all still get to vote in the April 21 referendum, and if it passes, we then get to vote in the midterms in November.

Silenced?

“In 2020, Virginians made it clear they didn’t want career politicians drawing districts for their friends and allies,” Miyares said.

Yeah, and then Republicans gummed up that effort toward mandating bipartisan redistricting, and the maps that we ended up with were put in place by the conservative state Supreme Court.

We’re not dumb.

Final words from Miyares:

“We must vote no to stop this partisan power grab,” he said.

He lost a head-to-head race with the most compromised statewide candidate in Virginia history.

Dude needs to go and find meaningful work.
