Video: Standing with WV Gov. Jim Justice, Liberty U. President Jerry Falwell Calls for "VEXIT"

[lowkell]

Source: Blue Virginia

Falwell: " I will also be supporting any efforts to let the people decide the question of Virginia counties joining the state of West Virginia…I hope history will also record one day how Virginia divided once again in our decade because the interest of those in Richmond were so divergent from those of us to the west, just as they were with Kentucky and West Virginia…We need a state government that is not elected by federal workers in the suburbs of Washington DC, as is the case now in Virginia, that will protect our god-given rights, to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. And I believe West Virginia will do precisely that.”

5. This is remarkable historical irony.

[NutmegYankee]

9. Maybe.

One can argue that with the declaration of secession Virginia had dissolved itself into a mere territory and it's legislature wasn't needed for Article IV, section 3.

[DavidDvorkin]

26. I was thinking of West Virginia splitting off, and why it did so

Everything is now reversed.

[NutmegYankee]

28. I got that part.

It just won't happen without approval from the Virginia Legislature this time.

[Lonestarblue]

8. If Virginia can just be split, so can the rest of the US.

I’m tired enough of the Republican Party and the utterly corrupt people in it, including DJT and Moscow Mitch. If I thought such a thing could be done easily, I would support a blue country and a red country. Unfortunately, it would be most difficult.

[olddad65]

15. Politically, the nation is already spilt.

Lets just the all the former confederate states, that they are freed now to leave the union.

[MRDAWG]

10. Good, guarantee 2 Va Democratic Senators**

[weissmam]

11. the correct answer , is that since a majority of the people in VA

got rid of the GOP that was killing the state , they can tell him to find another stupid reason to ask people for Money

[Evolve Dammit]

12. What a maroon. Go for it, it's what Jesus would do for sure. Absolutely Christ-like. Uh huh. Ack..

[LiberalFighter]

13. I really want to say something bad about Falwell.

[bottomofthehill]

14. Wow, the poor Coal and Tobacco counties

Want to Join West Virginia......insane. Northern VA has been their piggy bank for years. West Virginia can not afford them

17. I really would like to know why the NCAA lets this place

play in games, that other schools take in federal money to be diverse and this POS school is xenophobic, homophobic, and whatever phobic they believe in institution ............................and just for other starters why is NASCAR allowing a car to have this place's emblem plastered on a car........................while the state is openly asking another state to secede..................

[bottomofthehill]

18. Also forgot that West Virginia will lose a House seat

The population loss will cost them a seat in Redistributing in 2021

[mathematic]

19. This is like self-gerrymandering

Rs leaving a purple state to join a deep red state? Go for it dudes.

[raging moderate]

20. Which state refused to give land for the District of Columbia?

I read that the original plan was to create a rectangular District of Columbia, and the four states around it were supposed to all give up the same amount of land. This book said that the reason D.C. is not rectangular is that one state finked on the deal.

I believe this book said that Virginia was that state. And, when I look at a map, I see visual evidence for that claim. So maybe these people should blame their ancestors for all those terrible Washington DC government workers ruining their state.

[Marcuse]

22. Congress retroceded Alexandria County from D.C. to Virginia after a 1846 referendum.

Alexandria residents feared the abolition of slavery in the District.

[Haggis for Breakfast]

21. Exactly WHAT do they teach at this so-called "university ?"

Because it sure isn't civics !!

[IronLionZion]

23. Do it!

Make Virginia even bluer!

[Mz Pip]

24. Don't like Virginia

You can move. Easy peasy. Just relocate you silly religious empire to West Virginia and leave everyone else out of it

[Johnyawl]

25. Those idiots need to read the Constitution

The process of dividing a state, dismantling a state or merging states it laid out in Article IV, Section 3 of the United States Constitution.

"no new States shall be formed or erected within the Jurisdiction of any other State; nor any State be formed by the Junction of two or more States, or parts of States, without the Consent of the Legislatures of the States concerned as well as of the Congress.

Ain't gonna happen.

[Renew Deal]

27. This sounds like a good deal for Virginia.

[Democrats_win]

29. Doing the work of God...or...Satan?

How is this going to help them do God's work? Helping the poor? Speaking out against the "love of money." Are they really following the God of the Bible?

[icymist]

30. Exactly what Putin wants

More division. More chaos.

[TheFourthMind]

31. How about a Rexit to Russia instead. Republicans, there's no home for you here. Shove off! n/t
