he’s not going to shut down Virginia’s business success, economic success and so forth.

Kristol is lying.

Virginia Democratic gubernatorial nominee Terry McAuliffe has received another large donation from organized labor after reversing his position on right-to-work legislation in the state.

The Virginia Public Access Project reported last week that his gubernatorial campaign got $500,000 from the Laborers' International Union of North America (LIUNA). Fox News previously reported on the $2 million influential labor unions gave his campaign after he said he would sign a repeal of the state's right-to-work policy.

Right-to-work laws guarantee an employee's right to refuse to join a labor union and prevent union dues from being a requirement for employment. More than two dozen states, including Virginia, have right-to-work laws in place, and labor unions and progressive groups continually seek to overturn the statutes.

Aside from the fact that Kristol lied, notice that he doesn't say what makes McAuliffe preferable to Youngkin. Does he think Youngkin will shut down Virginia’s business success? I assume not.

DC is getting really weird right now—has that third world feel to it.

Kristol would be better advised to retire and enjoy the sunsets—far, far away...
