JEFFERSON, VIRGINIA—Herbert Henry, a Republican candidate for the Jefferson, Virginia City Council delivered a speech to supporters last week, in which he declared that “The Democrats don’t love your families as much as I do.”

“I’m a Republican. Everybody knows that Republicans are more pro-family. We’re the pro-family party,” Henry told a gathering of 25 loyal supporters.

“Would a Republican abort a child? Would a Republican spare the life of a man who killed your child? No way. The Democrats are just a bunch of liberals. Families, and people from families, should vote Republican,” Henry concluded.
