To be clear: Biden won the election. No one stole it. Trump lost.

Youngkin has decided to begin his governorship by emulating Abbott & DeSantis in waging war against his largest, most prosperous population centers-in a very different state. https://t.co/dDsLQ3UAam

Seeing lots of musing about Youngkin and why he didn't go the benign Hogan/Baker route, and beyond the fact that VA isn't those states, nor did he run like those guys, it bears repeating that Virginia gov is a one term office. Use the platform to do what you can, while you can.

Gov. Glenn Youngkin, who is just more than a week into his governorship, issued an executive order on his first day in office delegating to parents the decision on whether children wear masks at school. https://t.co/9tSpYgyQHp

— The Washington Post (@washingtonpost) January 24, 2022

“Youngkin stormed into Richmond with an assertion of executive power that has thrilled the GOP base but caught even some allies off guard, and he has made clear that he views his two-point margin of victory as a mandate for conservative change.” https://t.co/2hMJrJNC0k

This is going to be the solution to Covid lots of states choose: out of sight, out of mind. They’re going to stop testing ppl even when they’ve had close contacts with infected ppl. And some red states will almost certainly soon stop reporting Covid deaths on a regular basis. https://t.co/9V1vgR5HDR

For all people saying Youngkin is just doing what he said he would do by banning local school mask mandates … nope!

In November he said, "Localities are going to have to make decisions the way the law works" (h/t @terrellwrites )https://t.co/MZXMYXwe07

Newly inaugurated Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin is already rolling back the priorities of his Democratic predecessors and running into opposition from counties he lost months earlier, specifically on the hot-button issue of mask requirements in schools. https://t.co/QOJsmGgmIj

So much for the silly narrative that Youngkin was some normal R. As @TerryMcAuliffe predicted, he's brought DeSantis anti-mask nuttery to VA. Now at war with several school districts. He's only been in office a few days. Hey, VA this is what you voted for. Best of luck.

Glenn Youngkin is really going full Trump. The latest:

* He's now blaming the left for his mask fiasco

* He's defending his stance with epic bad faith/dishonesty

* He's actively inciting civil conflict when more judicious paths are available

Echoing Abbott on abortion & DeSantis, also on classroom teaching, Youngkin wants conservatives to pursue a vigilante system of enforcing the "right" morality: “We’re asking for folks to send us reports and observations…help us be aware of their child being denied their rights" https://t.co/ZnGWqc9PSa
