Virginia GOP Gov. Glenn Youngkin on Friday brushed off former President Trump's criticism of him – which followed his lieutenant governor, Winsome Sears, saying Trump should remove himself from GOP electoral politics.
"Listen, you all know me," Youngkin told reporters. "I do not call people names. I really work hard to bring people together … . That's not the way I roll and not the way I behave."
The governor's response followed Trump's criticism of him earlier Friday morning.
"Young Kin (now that's an interesting take. Sounds Chinese, doesn't it?) in Virginia couldn't have won without me," Trump posted on Truth Social. "I Endorsed him, did a very big Trump Rally for him telephonically, got MAGA to Vote for him - or he couldn't have come close to winning."
Trump also wrote: "But he knows that, and admits it. Besides, having a hard time with the Dems in Virginia - But he'll get it done!"
Sears suggested that Trump leave GOP politics following the midterm election results, in which the GOP under-performed, with much of the criticism aimed at Trump and the quality of candidates he endorsed.

What the media-RAT complex is trying to do is induce an anger-fueled Trump third-party run. They are succeeding so far.
Youngkin’s Lieutenants attack Trump needlessly and unfairly. Trump resonds mildly. Then Youngkin goes that’s not we role. Lovely doublestandard. Get your Lieutenants in inline and we won’t have these problems.
I agree. They need to stop on reporting every Trump insult.
Trump doesn’t need the media to destroy the party. He’s pretty good at it himself.
Or Trump could stop. That would be the adult thing to do.
Youngkin: Why does your state still use RCV-enabled voting machines, early voting, mail-in voting?
All of which enable Deep State to steal elections.
Why are you giving aid and comfort to our common enemy, Youngkin?
Inquiring minds want to know.
The “Li’l Marco, Loser McCain, etc.” tactics can work for a while, but at some point, the Reagan commandment has to kick in.
He just sends Winsome Losesome out there to do his dirty work for him.
Or,come out with whatever he thinks is the issue?
If there is actually a issue?
He seems to be hinting at something.
It’s not Trump destroying one half of the Uniparty.
I agree, and Rush would be telling all of us the same thing at the moment.
In fact, I'm certain Rush would be saying now IS the time to be congratulating those who won their campaigns, and focusing on helping change things where we didn't win. Not attacking each other, especially since no one -- not even Trump -- has announced they are running. There will be plenty of time for Silly Season, and now's not it.
WWRD
Timing is everything in politics!
I liked Trump as POTUS. I’ll vote for him again happily if he’s the GOP nominee. But not if he goes 3rd party.
We really need to get rid of the elderly eGOP leadership, as they are useless demoncrap lite....
And Trump really needs to learn when to shut his pinhole, and get his monstrous ego under control.
DeSantis would be really smart if he called up Trump and told him he would be his VP and they would fight the DS (Old Republicans) together.
Yup. All Trump has to do is change his official residence to Bedminster, NJ within the next year or so. Mar-A-Lago is probably bugged anyway.
HA You’re a funny guy.
Oh wait, i don’t think you’re kidding.
Trump is incapable of stopping. Its not in him. You’d have to amputate his fingers. And even then he’d be pecking a keyboard with his nose.
its primary season
they will all kiss and make up after
Rush said neither GOPe nor media could destroy Trump because neither created him. The only person that could break Trump was Trump.
GOPe and media seem to have finally figured it out. The innuendo, suggestions, rumors dropped in MSM and political society and amplified by disloyal aides have goaded Trump to preemptively attack popular governors.
Which, as seen here, runs the risk of breaking MAGA into warring camps....especially in VA and FL. Trump risks fulfilling Rush’s prophecy if he keeps this path.
Are you talking about Virginia's Lt. Governor saying she's looking elsewhere in 2024 after Trump went on a childish and totally unprovoked tirade against Ron DeSantis?
