Democrats say Vogel attack on Fairfax more like 1957 than 2017

[TexasTowelie]

Democrat Justin Fairfax and Sen. Jill Holtzman Vogel, R-Fauquier, Virginia’s lieutenant governor candidates, squared off Thursday during a debate hosted by the Virginia Bar Association at the University of Richmond School of Law.


Comments from Sen. Jill Holtzman Vogel that her Democratic opponent in the race for lieutenant governor, Justin Fairfax, is not informed enough to “talk intelligently” sound more like 1957 than 2017, Virginia Democrats said Friday.

“I was dumbfounded and astounded to hear those words come out of her mouth,” Democratic Party Chairwoman Susan Swecker said on a conference call for reporters with Sen. Jennifer L. McClellan, D-Richmond.

Vogel, R-Fauquier, made her remarks during a debate with Fairfax on Thursday hosted by the Virginia Bar Association at the University of Richmond School of Law. She was discussing a controversial bill she sponsored in 2012 to require women to have an ultrasound before an abortion.

“He brings this up every chance he gets because there are other issues that he could talk about, but I clearly think he is not informed enough on those issues to talk intelligently about them. I just have to put that out there,” Vogel said in the debate.
