"The ad opens with a voice-over: "MAGA Republican Winsome Earle-Sears." The lieutenant governor responds on-screen, "I am speaking!" The narrator continues, "And what she says about discrimination is extreme." Clips of TV news reports appear next, one noting that the Republican nominee for governor "hand-wrote a note on a bill that passed the General Assembly, implying she's morally opposed to same-sex marriage.""
"Earle-Sears's voice interrupts: "That's not discrimination." Spanberger responds, "My opponent has also previously said that she thinks it's okay for someone to be fired from their job for being gay. That is discrimination." Again, Earle-Sears replies: "That's not discrimination." The ad ends with the narrator's rebuttal: "Yes, Lieutenant Governor. It is. And what you said about rights couldn't be more wrong. Winsome Earle-Sears - so far right she's wrong for Virginia.""
Abigail Spanberger released a 45-second campaign spot titled 'That's Not Discrimination' that stitches together debate moments and archival footage to attack Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears. The ad labels Earle-Sears a 'MAGA Republican' and juxtaposes her on-screen interruptions with clips alleging she opposed same-sex marriage and implied moral objections. The ad highlights Earle-Sears's repeated line 'That's not discrimination' and rebuts that dismissing rights and supporting firing people for being gay is discriminatory. The spot concludes by calling Earle-Sears 'so far right she's wrong for Virginia' and connects debate rhetoric to a long record opposing LGBTQ+ equality.
