Youngkin really shoving his head completely up his own ass. Thinks taking a stand against massively popular ballot measures will cement his presidential run, while at the same time proving his inability to govern by leaving millions of tax revenue on the table. Here’s hoping this ushers in even stronger Dem representation in VA to keep the state blue.
Let's not forget his swing and miss at the capitals arena move into Alexandria.
He acted like he did a big thing for everyone, but most of the residents didn't want it and DC just clowned him by offering a better deal.
Fucking Terry McAuliffe cemented his loss with, “I don’t think parents should be telling schools what they should teach.”
My jaw hit the floor. I knew his campaign was doomed. What kind of idiot tells voters that they shouldn’t have a say in what their kids learn? He destroyed his career with that mouth breathing comment and pushed the entire state into a pile of shit.
I wanted to reach through the tv and slap him in his face. He pretty much handed this idiot the governor’s seat.
While he should have said it better, he's 100% correct.
Yeah absolutely. I get his point. He could have said something like, “I’m sure someone out there is going to be upset that schools don’t teach that 1+1=11. Kids should leave school with the skills to be adults in the working world and that’s where I stand. For parents who don’t want secular curriculum taught to their kids, homeschooling is a great option. I’m against indoctrinating kids in any way in public schools and for teaching them.”
Bam, that easy.
Some people would have spun it anyway, but headlines wouldn’t have said “MCAULIFFE WANTS PARENTS OUT OF THE PICTURE IN SCHOOLS. ANTICHRIST INDOCTRINATION INCOMING!!”
I don't know much about Youngkin, did all consultants that jumped ship from the Desantis campaign land with him?
