[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Youngkin was virtual signaling to the folks who elected him. Since he got less than 25% of the vote in Alexandria, he should have anticipated that some residents there might be offended by him not wearing a mask. [/quote]

Actually, the masked woman was the one doing the virtue signaling.  
Why should she worry about him wearing a mask when she is 10 feet away and is wearing one herself?

I disagree. Politicians don't do anything casually and what they wear at public events is often calculated to send a message (e.g., the disarming "dad" vest he campaigned in). Just a few months ago, Youngkin was wearing a mask at a public event (see link below). To not wear one now is signaling something--and in the Republican world, NOT wearing a mask is a symbol of defiance and "freedom."
