In the past, Virginia's Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin has distanced himself from his party's election lies. Now, it appears he's perfectly comfortable much further into Trumpian territory.
In the past, Virginia's Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin had distanced himself from his party's election lies. Now, it appears he's perfectly comfortable much further into Trumpian territory, Zeeshan Aleem writes. This came to light most recently at a Tucson rally when Youngkin endorsed Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake — "a Trump-worshipping, hard-core 2020 election denier who spreads baldly false rumors about her opponent and attacks the media," writes Aleem.
"Youngkin's embrace of Lake is a reminder that he's never been as moderate as he was commonly perceived by the pundit class," writes Aleem. "If he's comfortable lending his increasing star power to mainstream authoritarian white nationalism, he's making it plain that he is no bulwark against the radicalization of the GOP."
