We've written a lot here about AWFLs, to the extent that some of what I talk about will probably sound like a broken record.
But some things bear repeating for emphasis, and what AWFLs are doing to America in the name of "inclusion" and "diversity" is something that needs to keep being addressed until the tide can (hopefully) be turned against it.
Before we get started, however, let's get two of the most common questions about AWFLs out of the way for anyone who may not know: What do the letters "AWFL" stand for, and what does it mean?
AWFL = Affluent White Female Liberals. My RedState colleague Brandon Morse described them perfectly in a June 2023 piece on this very subject.
"The leftist white woman is a female of the human species that, for some unexplainable reason, believes itself to be smarter, morally superior, and just all-around better than everyone else," he wrote at the time.
"Heavily biased to leftist causes and self-assured of her own intellectual and moral supremacy, the white leftist female activist will turn a paradise into a living hell once it moves into an area," he also noted.

While first-term New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill is not a leftist activist, she is an elected Democrat official, the most prominent one in the Garden State. Because she's in such a position of power and influence, it's important to know what she says and does, the image she presents, so voters can make informed judgments about the job she's doing.
Though I haven't followed Sherrill's first two full months as governor closely, I did catch what she did during Ramadan. Suffice it to say that I wasn't the only one who was not amused:

ISLAMIFICATION: New Jersey’s Gov Mikie Sherrill wore a hijab to make the Islamic men more comfortable as they celebrate Eid. This is how sharia is normalized. https://t.co/NVsEddaVyf pic.twitter.com/hdpi97cuJX

"Stop dehumanizing us more!" self-described ex-Muslim Sara Ghorbani urged in her tweet response on Sherrill's actions:
The betrayal of western women when they wear any form of hijab while Afghan women are denied even a window and forced into burqas and Iranian women are beaten to death for refusing to wear hijab will never be forgotten. Cosplaying in our oppression doesn’t make you virtuous. Stop…

As if that wasn't bad enough, there was the governor's recent visit to a mosque with terrorist ties:
New Jersey governor Mikie Sherrill, who ran for election in November as a "moderate" Democrat, visited a New Jersey mosque on Friday that has been linked to terrorist activity since its founding in 1989 and whose cofounder was convicted of funneling money to Hamas. During that visit, Sherrill met with a cleric who has faced deportation proceedings over his own alleged ties to the terror group and for calling for a "new intifada."
At the Islamic Center of Passaic County, which Sherrill visited for Ramadan services, according to photos posted on social media, she met with Imam Mohammad Qatanani. "This is a community with the five pillars of Islam that is constantly looking to do good works," Sherrill, sporting a head covering, said in remarks in the mosque after meeting with Qatanani. "And that is something I think is lacking now in this country."
That Sherrill, a Catholic Democrat, could do all this, especially in the aftermath of the spate of Islam-fueled terrorist attacks we've seen in this country in recent weeks, including the one just across the New Jersey border in New York at NYC's Gracie Mansion, is astonishing to me, not just as a woman, not just as a Christian, but as a human being who has a more than basic understanding of what's right and wrong, the difference between good and evil, and who has big concerns about the message Sherrill's Ramadan actions sends - and what it symbolizes.
And she's not the only elected AWFL in this country to be seen doing this. We saw it in December, from Minnesota Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan, a pro-trans Catholic Democrat who is running for Senate:

The video was broadcast on a Somali TV station. Flanagan has led in all available polling for the Minnesota Senate Democrat primary so far.
AWFLs have choices to make at this critical time in our country's history, and they keep making the wrong choices, on issues like this one, abortion, men in women's sports, etc. Interestingly enough, nearly every bad choice they make/stance they take as public officials negatively impacts other women.
In other words, the real war on women in America is being waged by AWFLs against the rest of us, and the time to push back in the court of public opinion is right now.
Since they refuse to show (or grow) a spine, it's up to the rest of us to do the work, and that's something I'm prepared to do unless/until the Lord has other plans for me.
