[quote]Virginia Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin's appearance on CBS' "Face the Nation" on Sunday. Youngkin was asked by moderator Robert Costa what seemed like a simple question: "Former President Trump continues to falsely claim the 2020 election was stolen. Should he stop saying that?'
To which Youngkin responded:
"Well, let me begin with my trip to Nebraska, which was really great fun. Gov. Ricketts had really helped me in my race and it was a great chance for me to show up and help in the next race to elect a Republican in Nebraska. And one of the things that I'm really focused on is helping Republican governors get elected. You know, I've got a big job in Virginia, and it takes the -- takes the vast majority of my time, but I do think there's spots that I can be helpful and so I plan on doing that this year. Of course, the other thing we plan on doing this year is helping congressional wins in Virginia. And I think there's a great opportunity there."
Which is 127 words of Youngkin not answering -- or even attempting to answer -- Costa's question.
Costa, to his credit, asked Youngin again to answer the question. "What about former President Trump?" he said.
And cue Youngkin's response:
"Well, I think this is a moment for the Republican Party to recognize exactly what I recognized last year, was this is not an or moment, but an and moment. We brought together Virginians last year, forever Trumpers, never Trumpers, independents, Democrats. We won the Latino vote, the Asian vote, the largest voter turnout for black Virginians that anybody can remember to vote for a Republican. I think this is the future of the Republican Party, which is to recognize that we have to come together in these common sense kitchen table issues that are on the forefront of everybody's mind, inflation, schools, safe communities, an economy that isn't stealing everybody's hard working money through inflation, but gives them a job. This is where the Republicans --"
Costa interrupts Youngkin after another 130 words in which the governor talks about a whole lot of things -- his 2021 win, the economy, the future -- but doesn't, you know, answer the question being asked.
Costa then asks, for a third time, whether Trump should "stop talking about" 2020.
And Youngkin responds this way:
"I think what I did last year was I focused on 2021. And we had 5,000 people come and volunteer at elections and that gave everybody confidence in our election process. They showed up, they voted in record numbers for a governor's race, and we won."[/quote]
