August 4, 2025

Sears when asked about the attacks on Virginia jobs: “I’m just not going to participate. Because I want to talk about real issues”
 
Sears at a closed-door event: “the media is making it out to be a huge, huge thing… and I don’t understand why.”

VIRGINIA - In a recent CNN interview, when asked if she supports Donald Trump’s attacks on Virginia’s jobs, Winsome Earle-Sears refused to answer and dismissed the jobs cuts saying she wants “to talk about real issues” instead. 
 
This continues Sears’ pattern of dismissing Virginians worried about their livelihoods. She previously was caught on tape downplaying the attacks on Virginia jobs: “the media is making it out to be a huge, huge thing… and I don’t understand why.” Sears also said she would help Trump “get the job done” and that she’s “supporting what the President is doing.” Audio from a closed-door event revealed Sears complaining about the attacks on Virginia jobs hurting her campaign — ignoring the harm they’ve caused families and the economy.
