Cheerful suburban dad Glenn Youngkin convinced many Virginia parents that their children were under threat of CRT indoctrination.

Now Republicans in the state plan to:

* cancel minimum wage hike
* require voter ID
* cut early voting
* expand open carryhttps://t.co/kS60KSsG3v pic.twitter.com/R8vH5wCOFv

New: 150+ ex-Environmental Protection Agency employees are uging the Virginia Senate to oppose the nomination of former EPA administrator Andrew Wheeler to GOP Gov.-elect Glenn Youngkin’s cabinet. They wrote to senators in a letter first shared with @AP. https://t.co/FymjMcY2za

I've been told incoming AG @JasonMiyaresVA just FIRED the entire civil rights division in the Attorney General's office. My bill helped create and expand the authority that this division uses.

Bold of Glenn Youngkin to choose someone who believed (in 2019) that “both sides of the Holocaust” need to be taught. Among other Islamophobic and reprehensible comments. https://t.co/nbV0ZhCtlY https://t.co/78ycTfnj7n

.@MaddowBlog: Glenn Youngkin campaigned that Virginians need not fear Republican governance in Virginia. Those assumptions are due for a reevaluation. https://t.co/MeDvHpkLlU

To repeat, the mainstream media treatment of Youngkin, a clever campaigner appealing to the Trumpists but really a moderate or mainstreamer, was ridiculous. He is a radical Trumpist, picking radical Trumpists for key positions. https://t.co/82QXqy2F4t

I tried warn people about this during the campaign. #Youngkin telegraphed this early on. He said, if you elected him, you were electing “a whole new crop of Republicans along with me.” That was code for Trumpers.
Should’ve been used against him, repeatedly.
Sigh. https://t.co/e0qhH6Km9c pic.twitter.com/JsVL5hWhhz

Youngkin is telling everyone that he plans to challenge vaccine mandates. @UVA just moved the booster deadline up to Jan.14th, one day before he takes office. Well played. pic.twitter.com/rZyxDKHopx

Gov.-elect Glenn Youngkin has named a respected physician who opposes blanket vaccine mandates and downplayed the threat of the coronavirus to children as his lead adviser on pandemic response https://t.co/KGHSFxYtxB

Youngkin has said he will work for all Virginians, but also made clear he believes he has a conservative mandate
