Megyn Kelly On GOP Winning Virginia: ‘The Domestic Terrorists Would Not Be Silenced’

Tuesday night, as election returns showed the GOP in Virginia taking the governorship, lieutenant governorship, and possible control of the state assembly, former Fox News anchor and current podcast host Megyn Kelly, pointing out that much of the vote looked as if it was driven by parents fed-up with the policies of public schools, tweeted succinctly, “The domestic terrorists WOULD NOT BE SILENCED.”

The domestic terrorists WOULD NOT BE SILENCED.

Glenn Youngkin of the GOP won the governorship; Winsome Sears won the lieutenant governorship, Jason Miyares won the race for Virginia Attorney General, and the General Assembly was reportedly won back by the GOP. The Washington Post reported Wednesday morning:

House Minority Leader Todd Gilbert (R-Shenandoah) declared that the GOP had retaken control of the chamber around 1:40 a.m. Wednesday morning. “Virginia voters made an historic statement, delivering a clear rebuke of the failed policies of the last two years and electing Republicans up and down the ballot,” he said in a statement.

Kelly’s reference to “domestic terrorists” was a response to the furor that surrounded the letter written by the National School Boards Association (NSBA) to President Biden on September 29 in which they stated:

America’s public schools and its education leaders are under an immediate threat. The National School Boards Association (NSBA) respectfully asks for federal law enforcement and other assistance to deal with the growing number of threats of violence and acts of intimidation occurring across the nation. …

NSBA believes immediate assistance is required to protect our students, school board members, and educators who are susceptible to acts of violence affecting interstate commerce because of threats to their districts, families, and personal safety.

While local and state law enforcement agencies are working with public school officials in several communities to prevent further disruptions to educational services and school district operations, law enforcement officials in some jurisdictions need assistance – including help with monitoring the threat levels. As these threats and acts of violence have become more prevalent – during public school board meetings, via documented threats transmitted through the U.S. Postal Service, through social media and other online platforms, and around personal properties – NSBA respectfully asks that a joint collaboration among federal law enforcement agencies, state and local law enforcement, and with public school officials be undertaken to focus on these threats.2

NSBA specifically solicits the expertise and resources of the U.S. Department of Justice, Federal Bureau of Investigation
