Good for them. What a shitty, unpopular governor.

Pathetic crybabies... $200,000 for a degree and then they deny their parents a photo of them walking across the stage for that diploma.

These same exact kids that walked out today probably also didn’t have a high school graduation either, because of the pandemic.

I’m LMAO at how pathetic and fragile they are. As if the Gov or anyone else even gave a sh!t about their little stunt.

Elected in a kandslide, and probably would be again if allowed to run.

Go back to bed.

It's so pathetic and fragile how they're standing up for their opinions in public!

Lmao. 50.6% of the vote is in no way a landslide and you’re smoking something if you think he could win again now that VA knows who he is and he’s not just running against school closures.

Also funny how triggered these posters seem to be by a protest that’s about as peaceful and nondisruptive as possible.

What's your definition of a "landslide?" Mine isn't the 2% differential he won by. And given what a disaster his term has been, he'd lose big time if he tried to run again. He booted his chance at VP when his sweater brand of Republicanism cost him control of the legislature in 2023 and he doesn't have the political capital to run for Senate. His political career is over. And good riddance.

Who cares about a stupid photo op? They’ve got their degree.

They don't walk across the stage at the main VCU ceremony. They do that at the smaller departmental ceremonies, where they had different speakers.

I don’t think Youngkin is super great, but he’s still a somewhat popular governor and walk outs like this will make him more popular and have the opposite effect you think it does. Also Youngkin was expecting this and he doesn’t care that they walked out.

The campus shenanigans at VCU, UVA, etc only will help Trump at the polls in November (which depresses me).

This is a peaceful protest, and something that I support. It doesn’t matter if I agree or disagree with what the protesting however, this beats encampments and the mass destruction of property that you see on the news.

More people walked out on Glen Youngkin's speech at VCU than walked out of Jerry Seinfeld's speech at Duke.

Guess one is getting breathless coverage on MSM sites?

At least the ceremony didn't get shut down mid ceremony like at Howard which had a near riot going.
