His national security advisor Michael Flynn, https://www.foxnews.com/politics/flynn-was-paid-67g-by-russian-interests-documents-say

So, once again Republicans are living up to the promise that every accusation or attack they make on others is an admission of their own guilt

Glen youngkin's whole campaign for governor was dishonest and I was so angry no one ever called him out on it. He claimed VA was teaching "CRT" in public schools. Mccaullif never spat back in his face that that was a lie. I've known people in the education system. CRT has never been taught to virginia k-12. Neither actual critical race theory, nor the bizarre delusion that conservatives think it is. He was somehow allowed to be elected on this lie. It was the major thrust of his campaign.

My name is Glenn Youngkin. I'm wearing a vest to look like a regular guy. Aww shucks, vote for me!

Can't wait until he's gone next year.

Can’t wait until he’s gone next year.

To clarify for others, Glenn Youngkin is the governor of Virginia. The state's law says that governors cannot hold consecutive terms and Youngkin's term ends in 2025, so regardless of who wins next year it won't be Youngkin
