    Default Governor Youngkin swearing in ceremony and speech

    Youngkin and his Lt. Governor were sworn in about 30 minutes ago and I'm watching/listening to Youngkin's speech on Fox News. He's inclusive and speaks of diversity.

    Should be interesting to see which way the Republicans begin to move post-Trump.

    Businessman Glenn Youngkin was sworn in as the 74th governor of Virginia on Saturday in Richmond, restoring Republicans to an office they haven't held in nearly a decade.

    "No matter who you voted for, I pledge to be your advocate, your voice, your governor," Gov. Youngkin said in his inaugural speech, offering a message of unity that, at times, was absent from the campaign. "Our politics have become too toxic. Soundbites have replaced solutions — taking precedence over good faith problem-solving."

    Two history-making Republicans also took the oath of office. Former state Delegate Jason Miyares was sworn in as attorney general, the first Latino elected to statewide office. And former state Delegate Winsome Sears is now lieutenant governor, the first Black woman to hold that title.

    Youngkin's victory in November shocked Democrats who — after President Biden's 10-point margin in the state — were hoping former Gov. Terry McAuliffe would be able to return to the governor's mansion and continue the party's grip on an office currently held by outgoing Gov. Ralph Northam. But Youngkin's campaign turned out many voters in rural Virginia and made inroads in suburban areas of the state. The former private equity CEO framed his lack of political experience as an asset.

    Republicans have always been inclusive......the only ones not welcome are the idiots that support the absurd demmycrat agenda.......

    It appears tRump's bitch Youngkin has things to do in Virginia at swearing to curse the entire state at playing a bunch of suckers at voting for him as the fools they are. Therefore, do not expect the covid-19 rates in Virginia to improve from what they were before with a seditious repuke in charge. Bunch of fucking suckers.

    He mentioned the previous governor, Nordstrom, appearing in black-face.

    "Our politics have become too toxic."

    What BS for him to be saying that after he worked the CRT angle so hard. He was totally contributing to the toxicity.

    Here is the cold unvarnished truth:

    Anti-CRT = racism, pure and simple.

    You don't want CRT taught in schools, then you're a racist. And you're fooling yourself if you don't admit it.

    Self-fooling is pretty popular in the Republican party these days.

    Total horse mierda...as usual

    Separating young white children in the classroom as "white oppressors" and blacks as "oppressed" is total horse mierda and hate speech.

    Well, Jack, Nordstrom's black face appearance and his calling parents terrorists and threatening them with the FBI cost him the election.

    Separating young white first graders as "oppressors' and the blacks as the "oppressed" didn't go over well either, Jack.
