This is Robert Marshall's sister.— Holly O'Reilly (@AynRandPaulRyan) November 8, 2017
Marshall is who Danica Roem, the first openly trans person elected to office in VA, beat for the Virginia House seat.
His sister pulls zero punches.
This is beautiful.#WednesdayWisdom pic.twitter.com/SIvD9ToAYC

THIS IS HUGE, let justice roll down like a river: Remember reporter Alison Parker who was tragically shot & killed live on air during a morning broadcast.
