“He Flamed Out”: Glenn Youngkin’s Disastrous Week

Today concludes yet another terrible week of coverage for Virginia GOP gubernatorial candidate Glenn Youngkin and his confused, rudderless campaign.

When Youngkin wasn’t busy spreading the Big Lie and refusing to rule out the fantasy in which Trump will soon be reinstated as president, he was being forced to answer uncomfortable questions about his disastrous track record of offshoring jobs and losing hundreds of millions of dollars in terrible deals as the head of the Carlyle Group.
