Governor Red Sweater Vest did exactly as I expected. ICYMI, I shared some thoughts about this smiling wag a couple of weeks ago and predicted he would veto all the life-saving gun bills passed by the Virginia General Assembly. I wasn’t entirely correct. This “caring” man did sign two gun-related bills, which even the batshit crazy extremist Citizens Defense League thought benign enough not to contest. One would prohibit a switch that could turn any gun into a machine gun, and the other would hold worthless parents like the shitty Crumbleys in Michigan responsible for the actions of their unsupervised delinquent children. Wow, what a thoughtful guy. I’m sure he agonized over it.
The rest, he torpedoed, thumbing his nose at the vast majority of Virginians. As I pointed out a couple of weeks ago, and the Washington Post reminded us all again:
Youngkin had cast himself as a Second Amendment patriot in his campaign for the GOP gubernatorial nomination in 2021. But he also refused to answer a National Rifle Association questionnaire and downplayed guns as he wooed suburban voters who tend to support some gun control.
Well, suburban moms, as I said, he lied to you about caring for the safety of your families, and you fell for it. And now you're probably thinking to yourself, "Gee, he seemed so honest and genuine." Now you know he's the lying sack of shit those who opposed him always knew.
Glenn Trumpkin is still desperately trying to foist his arena deal on the taxpayers of Virginia and has managed to do more to bring Democrats and Republicans together by his reckless stupidity. He's had more pushback on this folly than NBC had hiring Ronna McDaniel. We have all collectively told this jerk to take his arena and stick it squarely up his ass.
In the meantime, thanks to our MAGAt governor, more people will die from gun violence while we have another year to endure the asshole. Suburban women, if and when he does politically resurface, please don't forget what he did.
Hiya Andy!! Love your writing. But this "suburban mom" didn't fall for his shit. At all. And actually this suburban mom knocked on doors to get rid of DINO and gun nut Chap Peterson so we're not all bad :-).
