| Kid is holding his own. Maybe our future is not doomed. |
| Does anyone, conservative or otherwise, think it makes any sense to attack a high school kid? Even if s/he is being a total idiot. The only person that looks bad is the adult. This isn’t hard. |
They did it to the Parkland kids. The GOP is a mess. |

What an amazing few weeks Youngkin is having!!
Takes away mask mandate & gets (negative) national news attention attention because of a nutso parent & her guns. Does a photo op pr visit to the grocery store in Alexandria & gets heckled. The heckler gets more coverage than the reason for his visit. His team bullies a teen online in public. #Thriving |
This still doesn't excuse them attacking him. He is 17, and he is using his own account. Doesn't Youngkin have a son the same age? I wonder how he would feel if someone did this to his son. |
| Punching below his weight, just like Trump. Not a good look. |
Even if he wasn't a high school kid, the response was a personal attack on a citizen because he retweeted a news story with his commentary on it. The fact that the REPORTER (not the kid) later issued a correction is irrelevant. The fact that Youngkin's team felt that the appropriate reaction to a citizen with an opinion is to attack them personally is the problem here. And this was the Governor's official email account. The good news is that voters probably won't stay home again and this will be the end of the red resurgence in VA. |
Exactly this. |
Thank you- I was wondering why I felt uncomfortable about this. It's a mean-spirited personal attack to something that is just a re-tweet + opinion. You can almost hear them adding "well you're an ugly poopy face " at the end. |
A 100% exactly this. Holy cow. |
