Virginia Lt. Gov. Winsome Sears argued on Sunday that lawlessness in America is “coming from the highest levels,” explaining that she believes it is “from the presidency on down where there is no leadership.”
Sears made the argument during an exclusive interview with “Sunday Morning Futures,” telling host Maria Bartiromo that she believes there is a “vacuum” and that leaders “seem to be following what’s happening on the streets.”
“That’s not going to work for anyone because the leader has to lead. That’s why they’re called leaders and they have to show the right way, the righteous way,” Sears told Bartiromo.
“There is right and wrong, and you can’t look at what’s happening in the streets and smash-and-grab and say, ‘Well, it’s just social justice.’ No, it’s theft, and it’s destroying our economy.”
Sears was referencing the wave of retail thefts taking place in cities across the country in recent months, with thieves stealing everything from luxury goods to eyeglasses.
More than half of retailers nationwide, 57%, said that there has been more organized retail crime since the coronavirus pandemic began, according to a survey conducted last year by the National Retail Federation.
Sears argued on Sunday that current leaders “follow the polls and they don’t have a righteous bone in their body.” She encouraged them to lead properly.
New Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin issued an executive order in January banning mask mandates in schools. The order now faces multiple court challenges, but last week, a bipartisan group of Virginia lawmakers moved to end mask mandates in the state’s schools.
A group of 10 State Senate Democrats voted with Republicans for an amendment that would allow parents to opt their children out of masking in schools, a rule that aligns with the Youngkin order, which was signed on his first day in office last month.
Several other states have also moved to eliminate mask requirements in the past few weeks.
