Virginia governor Glenn Youngkin expressed support for “gender-neutral bathrooms” and implied that he supports the widely derided woke talking points of the “1619 Project” during a town hall appearance on CNN this week.
During the town hall, a transgender student asked Youngkin, “Look at me. I am a transgender man. Do you really think that the girls in my high school would feel comfortable sharing a restroom with me?”
“I believe first when parents are engaged with their children, then you can make good decisions together, and I met your dad, and I’m glad you’re both here together,” Youngkin said. “That’s really, really important.”
“I also think that there are lots of students involved in this decision,” the governor added. “And what’s – what’s most important is that we try very hard to accommodate students. That’s why I have said many, many times, we just need extra bathrooms in schools. We need gender neutral bathrooms. And so, people can use a bathroom that they in fact are comfortable with.”
Youngkin:

Later during the interview, CNN’s Jake Tapper asked Youngkin what he would say to a left-wing teacher to wants to teach divisive and revisionist racial concept to young children.
“Yeah, well I, well, first of all, me must step back and teach all of that,” Youngkin said, noting “And then we need to recognize where we are today.”
Youngkin just refused to push back when Jake Tapper invoked the 1619 Project and then said he is teaching it better than the Democrats

Conservative audiences on social media delivered a mixed reception to Youngkin’s comments.

Younkin is proving to be a “one trick, weak pony”. What a disappointment he is proving to be! He won being full of promise to continue to lead Virginia out of the WOKE HYSTERIA it has embarked upon. Now he is part of the feeding frenzy of the Left Wing NUTJOBS!
He has completely misrepresent the values he preached to get elected. Now he is bending a weak knee to the disgrace of WOKEISM!

I’ll never vote for this guy as my president. I agree. He either misrepresented himself and his philosophy or the corrupt media took his info and twisted it for their nefarious purposes, which is something they’ll always do. CNN can have him.

I think you may be pretty correct on this. The news media will do anything to bring him down so he doesn’t win again. He said what I think makes sense as far as the restroom idea. This is not about making “different” people feel good about themselves but infringing on the rights of those who don’t agree with them. When they first came out with this everyone share a restroom no matter what gender thing, one of the restaurants in a nearby town got the jump on things. They turned their previous restrooms into family restrooms and then did several one-person cubicles with toilet and sink with no gender designation. Problem solved. It may have cost them a little, but it beat the lawsuits that were imminent if they didn’t comply should it become law. That sounds to me like what governor Youngkin is saying. Create single non-gender restrooms like what they actually have in a lot of places in Europe and we do in some places here. As for the 1619 Project, well if he ever wants to win as a Republican again he had better not go there.

The problem is the Marxists don’t want “gender neutral” bathrooms; they want to use the ones that the girls use. If Youngkin tried that kind of bill; DIMMs would reject it. How about we believe SCIENCE (true science is God’s TRUTH) and have TWO restrooms; one for each SEX. “Gender” is a totally-fabricated concept just to push a corrupt agenda!

Another woke POS and supporter of perverts that should be laughed off any stage he steps onto. Liars like him will be shut down, and America is finally starting to let these anti-American pervert-loving pigs we are sick of them and their time is limited

I guess I was sold on his performance while running for governor and even afterward. Now with this latest CNN interview, I feel like a fool. Have to say he has the balls to come out and do this switch-a-rue. Now, I wonder about the Lt. Governor. I’m not even from your state but I was rooting for them and your state, especially for your K-12 schools.

I immediately spotted Youngkin as an opportunist. It took a month before I came to the same conclusion regarding Winsome Sears.
