[UPDATED] VA Sen. Scott Surovell: “What kind of governor makes fun of an…assassination attempt against the spouse of the third in line for the Presidency?”

See below for video of Gov. Glenn Youngkin, speaking a little while ago at a rally for Yesli Vega, and “making fun of the Pelosi assassination attempt.” As VA Sen. Scott Surovell puts it, “What kind of governor makes fun of an attempted assassination attempt against the spouse of the third in line for the Presidency?” Also note that the attack on Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband Paul comes after years of right-wing demonization, for NO GOOD REASON, of Nancy Pelosi. That includes during the current election cycle, during which all you’ve had to do is watch any debate or forum to hear Republicans like Jen Kiggans, Yesli Vega, Hung Cao, Bob Good, etc. constantly talk about Nancy Pelosi – in an intensely negative way.  Can relentless, intensely negative rhetoric lead to an unhinged person acting on that rhetoric? Obviously, and we may very well have just seen an example…
