Glenn Youngkin may or may not be the next Ron DeSantis, but he’s certainly going to be treated as such by Democrats at large.
Youngkin issued multiple executive orders upon his election to office that launched the entire group into space. Promises were made and kept, from banning Critical Race Theory to giving parents the option of opting out of district-level mask mandates. Jen Psaki rebuked the latter, who had repeatedly stated how much her child loved wearing masks.
Youngkin has caused consternation amongst the right people. Louise Lucas, the President Pro Tempore, of the Virginia Senate is one example. To say she’s absolutely lost her mind at Youngkin simply existing is an understatement. RedState shared some of her outbursts, and it has not improved.
Yesterday Lucas made it clear that he was accusing Youngkin of racism. She lied about everything he said, despite the fact anyone could click the link you provided to see the truth. That’s how brazen this woman is.
WHAT ARE YOU COMMITTED TO DO?
HBCU STUDENTS DO NOT WORK IN THE “ENTERTAINMENT INFINDRY”.
It is amazing that a Governor of Virginia could do this to a Norfolk State graduate. @GovernorVAWe owe you an immediate apology pic.twitter.com/vfzOg2hzdG

Glenn Youngkin actually just listed a few industries that would be willing to partner universities for internships and advancement. Because Lucas is your typical race-obsessed Democrat, though, she immediately interpreted that to mean Youngkin was calling HBCU students the “entertainment industry.” Even then, I’m not sure what inference she was trying to draw, but we are obviously not dealing with the smartest person in Virginia here.
The Chairwoman of Virginia’s Democratic Party encouraged Lucas to attack Youngkin because it is impossible to be more stupid than left-leaning politicians.
Surprising! @SenLouiseLucasShe didn’t leap out of her chair and hit him. https://t.co/Y69GqLIGcm

It’s safe to say that if a Republican encouraged another Republican to go clock Nancy Pelosi in the jaw, it’d probably be national news and spun as a call to violence. But when Democrats do that kind of thing, it’s just another day at the office.
Lucas didn’t correct her misstatement nor offer an apology for misstating what Youngkin said. She just doubled down and claimed how upset she was at Youngkin’s remarks. He did not repeat these remarks. She has not been questioned by any mainstream media outlets, as far as I know.
That’s not unexpected, yet this episode provides a preview of how Youngkin’s next four years go. Because Democrats know absolutely nothing, every breath they take will be scandalous. They are sticking to the same approach that won Youngkin the election. That’s frustrating, but it can also represent an opportunity for the new governor. He seems to be sharp enough not to allow his enemies to continue self-destructing.
