Has anyone/everyone who falsely claimed in 2021 – and some even in 2022 and 2023! – that Glenn Youngkin was actually a “moderate,” non-Trumpist Republican resigned yet? Been fired? Because it was obvious then, if you were paying any attention at all, that Youngkin was no moderate. And it’s GLARINGLY obvious now that he’s campaigned for the likes of Kari Lake (who Youngkin called “AWESOME!”)/Yesli Vega (who thinks it’s harder to get pregnant from rape)/Hung Cao (bonkers in every way)/John McGuire (who was in the pro-Trump mob outside the US Capitol on 1/6/21)/etc., endorsed Donald Trump for president (after Trump tried to stage a violent insurrectionist just down the road from Virginia at the US Capitol, with then-Gov. Ralph Northam even sending Virginia National Guard troops to protect our democracy), etc.
Need even MORE evidence? How about this, from the Democratic Party of Virginia? Youngkin campaigning for THIS GUY??? Crazy!
Glenn Youngkin Appears as Special Guest at Fundraiser for MAGA Extremist Mark Robinson
Republican Governor Glenn Youngkin continues to support and promote extreme MAGA candidates, this time, traveling to Raleigh to go to a fundraiser for North Carolina GOP nominee for governor Mark Robinson.
- Mark Robinson supports a total ban on abortion with no exceptions, stating he wants to sign a bill that says “you can’t have an abortion in North Carolina for any reason.” He even told women that abortion “is about killing the child because you weren’t responsible enough to keep your skirt down.”
- Robinson wants to defund public education, saying he would reject public education funds in North Carolina, calling teachers “wicked people,” and encouraging parents to push their kids out of public schools.
- Robinson has spewed dangerous anti semitic conspiracy theories, attacked kids who survived school shootings and even called for violence, saying “some folks need killing.”
Robinson is just one of many extreme MAGA candidates Youngkin has publicly endorsed as he continues to cozy up to Donald Trump. In July, Youngkin spoke at a rally for Donald Trump in Chesapeake, where Trump spewed false rhetoric about immigrants and called for the people who stormed the U.S. Capitol on January 6 to be released from prison. In May, Youngkin campaigned for New Hampshire gubernatorial candidate Kelly Ayotte, who voted for a federal abortion ban and to restrict access to birth control and IVF. And just this month, Youngkin refused to remove a board member at George Mason University who authored the Project 2025 chapter to defund the Department of Education.
“After pushing for an abortion ban and getting rejected by voters, Youngkin continues to show he’s no moderate by campaigning for the most extreme candidates in the entire county this year,” DPVA Chairwoman Susan Swecker said. “Voters in North Carolina saw Virginians’ buyers’ remorse in 2023 when they flipped the state legislature blue to block Youngkin’s extreme agenda – but they won’t be making that same mistake by letting Mark Robinson in the Executive Mansion to begin with.”
