Youngkin sparks Democratic backlash in Virginia
The hill ^ | 01/29/2022 | JULIA MANCHESTER

Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R) is facing fierce pushback from Democrats as he implements a slew of conservative policies just two weeks after he formally assumed office.

The businessman-turned-politician has hit the ground running, signing a number of executive orders aimed at banning mask mandates and what his office has called “inherently divisive concepts, like Critical Race Theory and its progeny” from classrooms.

“... facing fierce pushback from Democrats as he implements a slew of conservative policies...”

Precisely what Biden did with Trump’s policies.

Libs and their double-standards...but you knew that.

Well too damned bad. Opposing the left on behalf of parents of school-aged kids is why he was elected.

He’s going to live in their heads 24 seven rent free… And that’s always a good thing.

It’s time to get in THEIR faces for once. Every day. Every chance you get.

And laugh at them when they screech like little bitches

So Northam gets to move the state radically to the left after he gets caught in blackface, and on nothing he ran for office on.

But Youngkin sparks a backlash for implementing the agenda he ran on?

Go figure.

I hope he sticks to his original plans and does not back off.
Let them howl.

I’m taking a shine to Youngkin. I thought he’d lead like the typical RINO, but so far, so good. I’d love to continue to be proven wrong.

If you’re taking flak, you’re over the target.

The pile of Hill, with another ‘conservatives bad, liberals good’ propaganda message.

He’s doing exactly what he said he was going to do. Sound refreshing to me.

Every day he should be slamming down 5, 10 new EOs, don’t give the liberal bastards an inch. If the state senate won’t act and put up some bill tell ‘em to kiss off and get busy making changes.

Youngkin’s executive order to make masks optional in Virginia schools has been met with the most resistance from school boards and some parents. The executive order allows parents to be the ultimate deciders of whether their children should wear masks in public or private schools.

There is a story about the Arizona Sonora Desert Museum, one of the premier zoos in the world. A pen was accidently left open, and several of the animals had escaped. The zookeepers saw their trail going off into the desert, but someone discovered the animals were actually back in their open cages.

They had an excellent tracker on staff, and he followed their trail into the desert. He saw where they found food and water. But there was a point where they turned around and ran back home. There were some coyote tracks nearby. Apparently, at the first sign of what would have been everyday danger in the wild, they high-tailed it back to captivity.

F the democrats and their backlash. As if they ever gave a crap about anyone else’s “backlash” against any of their nonsense.

“Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R) is facing fierce pushback from Democrats as he implements a slew of conservative policies just two weeks after he formally assumed office.”

Of course the Dims are pushing back. It would be news if they weren’t.

Youngkin and his AG Jason Miyares have been surprisingly busy trying to undo all of the damage that the previous administration had done. I’m sure the Dims will try to leverage the courts to delay or stop their actions.

"I thought he’d lead like the typical RINO, but so far, so good"

I certainly admire the way he is riling up the VA communists...
However, as yet, he has not taken direct action at them over their widely publicized telling him to "stuff it" on the "mask" & "CRT" orders he issued...
If they continue, he loses...

Wars are not won only through ideas, plans, and strategies... Mostly they are won in the trenches where blood, guts, pain, and urine are everywhere...
We'll have to wait and see if, how, and when he joins the real battle...

Borne from their completely misguided belief that they, and only they, are entitled to rule. They truly believe any other are illegitimate. That’s why they bear such fierce anger in their very souls.
