[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This kid is an intern for the Democrat Party in VA.  His twitter feed is full of political tweets.  He is co-chair of a VA teens organization, which he appears to have founded.

He is a senior in HS.  They *say* he is 17, but who knows for sure?

If he doesn't want to be challenged, he shouldn't be on Twitter.  Given his involvement with the Democrats.... he's a big boy and should be able to take the "heat."  Instead, he plays the victim.  Typical.

Tell me - how is posting a pic of him next to Northam, then pointing out that Northam wore blackface an attack on him?  [/quote]

He is one of Youngkin’s constituents, whether he supports Youngkin or not.  Regardless of his age, it is not even remotely appropriate for Youngkin to make an ad hominem personal attack on a constituent for retweeting and commenting on a news article written by someone else.  Dear lord, how much have we lost any sense of civility that this is something to at even needs to be explained?[/quote]

This kid is more politically active than probably 95% of the people on this site.

Don't kid yourself..... He is LOVING this attention.  [/quote]

DP.  Beat me to it.  Notice how the kid retweeted false information (didn't bother to make sure it was true first), and then added his virtuous, "Shameful" comment at the end?  Ugh.  He's loving the sanctimony.  My question is, when will he stop playing the victim and admit that HE made a mistake and attacked the Youngkins first?  My guess - not happening.  [/quote]

He wasn’t retweeting random rumors, he was retweeting a news article that he didnot know to be incorrect at the time.  If Youngkin wants to take issue with the reporter who wrote the article, that is one thing.  But to make personal attacks on a kid just for retweeting is beneath anyone with a sense of common decency.[/quote]

The author of that false news story needs to apologize to the Youngkins.  As do all of you who jumped on your usual outrage bandwagon before knowing all the facts.  Do you ever learn?[/quote]

The author reached out to Youngkin’s office for comment two weeks before the article ran, but Youngkin decided to ignore him.  That is on Youngkin.[/quote]

I imagine Youngkin was *just a little bit busy* at that time.   :roll: [/quote]

But not too busy to stalk Twitter and then attack constituents?[/quote]
