Winsome Sears, Virginia's Lt. Governor-elect, became the first black woman to be elected to statewide office in Virginia. She is a Jamaican immigrant, a Marine, and a certified badass. Though, you might not hear much about her in the mainstream media because she is also a Republican. MSNBC and CNN were too busy calling Virginia voters raaaaaaaacist to carry Sears's victory speech.
Neither CNN nor MSNBC are airing Virginia's Republican Lt. Governor-elect Winsome Sears' victory speech.

MSNBC didn't carry Winsome Sears remarks. Brian Williams just mentions that "various folks" are talking at Youngkin HQ.

It is a shame that in their whiteness, none of the "various folks" at CNN or MSNBC felt it necessary to mark this major moment. Brian Williams was particularly dismissive, but he's also a dickhead.
Here is Lt. Governor-elect Winsome Sears and what you missed if you get your news from CNN or MSNBC.
