USA Today snubs Winsome Sears, Jason Miyares from report on 'candidates of color' who won historic elections | Fox News
USA Today raised eyebrows for a report highlighting the "candidates of color" who made history in various election races on Tuesday but initially left out two of the night's biggest winners.
Virginia rocked the political world with Glenn Youngkin leading the Republican ticket to victory in the commonwealth that President Biden won by ten points last year. The two other big winners were Winsome Sears, who will become Virginia's first woman of color lieutenant governor, and Jason Miyares, who will be the state's first Hispanic attorney general.
However, neither of them was mentioned in USA Today's roundup of the diverse candidates that emerged victorious this week.
They did correct the issue after being called out by Fox News on it, but not until then.
By the way, the words "Winsome Sears" and "Jason Miyares" appear nowhere in this article.

We know why. Republican minorities don’t count in your eyes. You’re sick. Seek professional help.
