Virginia Lt. Gov. Winsome Sears uses leather pump as gavel
by Christopher Hutton, Breaking News Reporter | February 15, 2022 08:31 AM

Virginia's lieutenant governor put her foot down after her gavel went missing.

Virginia Lt. Gov. Winsome Sears had to adapt when an "unknown prankster" hid her gavel on Monday before a session of the Virginia state Senate. So the woman used her shoe as a fill-in for the role.

"Resourcefulness never underestimate it!" Sears tweeted on Monday with a photo of her "high-heeled patent leather pump" in hand.

Sears also remarked to the Washington Post's Laura Vozzella that "One shoe can change a life. Just ask Cinderella."


Sears was elected alongside Republican Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin in November 2021, making her the first black woman lieutenant governor in the history of Virginia.

The lieutenant governor signed a state senate bill on Monday that "affirms parental rights by allowing them to opt-out of school mask mandates for their child."

Sears expressed a desire on Feb. 4 to form a new black caucus in Virginia after the Virginia Black Caucus rejected a delegate's membership due to their Republican affiliation.


I voted for this because I like Mean Tweets!

I really like this lady. She seems unflappable and a solid, unapologetic conservative. It will be interesting to see how far she will go, but we need more like her in the Party.

If she was a Dem this would be a major national story about racism and how someone is pranking a black woman.

It's not really a "Black" Caucus, is it? It's a "Black and Blue" Caucus...

VA limits it Gov term to one at a time, right? That is Younkin wouldn't be able to run for re-election. I would assume she would be well postioned to get the nomination for the next cycle.

That was the very first thing that crossed my mind as well.

Exactly what one would expect from a misogynistic racist!

^ This!! Yes, there would be talk shows about the disrespect of women of color and calls for the Virginia AG to start a criminal investigation as a Hate Crime. College campuses in Virginia would have to provide counseling for those who were traumatized by the theft of the gavel.

Yep, she's got my vote already. Pretty sure she'll keep it for when the time comes. God willing!

FWIW this is partly on the GOP. They need to go LOUD with stuff like this. Send out talking points and have folks screaming about it. Force Dems to comment. That's how you win.

Instead they will likely just let it go.
