Opinion by Karen Tumulty: “The reason I’d like to see him — or someone like him — make a serious run for president has more to do with an existential crisis that faces our democracy.”

, Colin Greene, for dismissing structural racism as a reason for poor Black maternal health.

As it happened, Youngkin was meeting with Post editors, reporters and editorial writers when the U.S. Supreme Court decisioncame down June 24. “I am a pro-life governor; I also am very, very aware of Virginia,” he said, before laying out his position in the post-Roe world: He would sign a bill putting a 20-week limit on abortion if the legislature sends him one, but he would prefer aAdvertisement

That would allow the vast majority of abortions to continue to be performed in Virginia as they are today; theshow that 93 percent of U.S. abortions are performed by 13 weeks’ gestation, which is before either cutoff Youngkin mentioned. Fewer than 1 percent happen at 21 weeks or later. Meanwhile, most Americans — even those among the majority who support abortion —It will be worth keeping a closer eye on Youngkin as he begins to lift his national profile.

Got to get the Carlyle group into the WH. Got it.

His time will come… 2024 - Trump 2028 - DeSantis 2032 - DeSantis 2036 -

The only thing stopping t.f.g. is the grim reaper. Youngkin is horrible in many ways but he is preferable to tfg. Go Grim Reaper

Why the hell are you giving a platform to fascists?

So glad I cancelled my subscription

Dear Karen take off your rose colored glasses, Youngkin is not the savior to the Republican party, he's just as bad as Trump but instead of an ill-fitting suit, he wears a Patagonia vest. He has done nothing to mend the divide in VA.

Yeah. He's the better than the crass fascist DeSantis. Youngkin is a nice fascist.

Trump with a smile...dude ran on a fear mongering platform just like the rest of his ilk.

He is not doing such a hot job running Virginia-why would we want him to run the country?

His 17 year old son tried to vote TWICE. If he can’t even teach his own child about the workings of government and what the legal voting age is, how can he effectively lead our country? Spoiler alert: he can’t. We want him OUT of Virginia, and definitely NOT in the White House.

No thanks.

Nope.

having a reasonable presidential candidate does nothing about all the other nut jobs in the GOP - Gohmert, Greene, Gaetz, Cruz, Stefanik, Gibbs, Jordan...the list goes on and on

.GlennYoungkin is just KristiNoem without the ability to ride a horse. He‘s our Governor only because he pushed the next big lie about CRT.

What is wrong with Tumulty? Has she followed Youngkin’s actual record? He is a Trumpist who cynically ran as a centrist. He is pushing a no holds barred abortion ban among other things. This journalist has checked facts and common sense at the door

Karen has not done her research.

The Virginia black caucus called him racist and he tried to cut the minimum wage twice and got rid of college funding for dreamers sone of the poorest kids in the state.he hasn’t passed a bill and he’s unpopular.Jeff bezos opinion?

How shameful can WAPO get?

Another shameful opinion piece. Have you no standards?

Don’t think so. You probably didn’t see him during his campaign when he was pandering to Trump voters by lying about CRT in schools and calling for election audits. Fuck that guy.

GovernorVA is so inexperienced (and wants to spend time selling himself on Fox) that he has conservative political consulting groups paying for his Depty Chief of Staff to run things for him.

This is idiotic

'Someone like him' would include DeSantis, bless your heart. The existential crisis is how long it's taking to hold Cons accountable for trying to overthrow our government when they lost an election and we still have 'journalists' trying to make it normal. Stop.

Cippolone concealed a MATERIAL fact during 2nd Trump impeachment (IE A Crime: Trump’s attempted ‘movement’ to Capitol to join/lead armed rioters). And. Cipollone didn’t require GOP Pardon Beggars to recuse themselves. Did Cipollone violate 18 USC 1001? GOP TheJusticeDept

Meanwhile, in the real world . . .

gtconway3d And by the way, I say the two Republicans on the jan 6 because they are the only two that have proven to be law abiding people. So they are not disqualified from running not for any other reason.

Yes, because another GOP ideological nigbtmare is just what we need rigbt now

I fucking hate it here

gtconway3d Wtf WaPo? Publish just ANYONE'S opinion?

No way in hell. We don’t need any more KochCandidates.

Somehow political strategy devised by a Texan through and through doesn't quite seem like the way to go right now. Next.

He ran on a lie and has governed our state poorly. He’s very Trump like. Youngkin should get out of politics when his term is over in 3 1/2 years.

You want a Trump clone to run?

This is the same “guy I’d like to have a beer with” take that got us W. That’s not a good take.

NO!

Oh my fucking hell no

WaPo July 5: 'Opinion: Stephen Miller Might Not Be So Bad After All.'

This is muddle-headed pandering to the demi-fascists to block the full fascists. Hey, WaPo, this kind of sophomoric, privileged fan-fiction garbage is why no one under the age of 70 trusts anything you do.

Karen GFY.

Garbage!

A Karen who hates anyone who isn’t white, straight, cis, and a certain type of Christian. Shocking.

Normalizing an extremist who doesn't sound crazy, stupid or evil isn't exactly protecting democracy from darkness, is it ?

His misrepresenting books and then banning them means he’s not the droid you’re looking for.

Has Youngkins 17 year old son ever been charged for attempting to illegally vote 'Twice' for his father ?

nonsense, ... from the outside Youngkin is a Trump pupil with better manners. Someone for the 'grandmas, who just live by watching pictures'!

Hard pass

He’s been Gov all of 60 minutes.

nonsense, from the outside Youngkin is a Trump pupil with better manners. Someone for the 'grandmas, wich just live by watching pictures'!

gtconway3d Oh sure. Let's get a lying opportunist in there, because, you know, he's not certifiably mad. We're all ready to settle for merely vile.

gtconway3d Ewe. No Way He Would Get My Vote!

And yet. “It is crucial that the country have a healthy two-party system” 1. Why? [never actually explained by the people who say it] 2. If one party is irreparably diseased, why wouldn’t we want the OTHER healthy party to demolish it wholesale & create something new?

gtconway3d Another steaming pile of garbage claiming we 'have' to have the GOP...they can go the way of the Whigs, Know-Nothings, et al.

Karen has smoked the Mitt Romney koolaid. Too bad she tossed any credibility buil up over those 30 years on this trash heap.

He’s a critical race theory conspiracy nut, wants to poison waterways, refused to join a federal wind energy program to own the libs, will force ten year old rape victims to have their rapist’s baby, but he does play basketball and wear a red vest. That’s a no from me, dawg. 🤷🏾‍♂️

Oh hell no!!

Lol! The threat to democracy is a blown up controlling govt spending funds we don't have. One which makes decisions that go against the people. The reason we have inflation headed toward recession while expecting the people to foot the bill. Biden admin is breaking us.

It’s an opinion, they should never be taken seriously. Beside who wants another Republican. They are just as useless in governing as they are in the legislature. Btw conservative voters should be treated as terrorists as they keep on advocating for violence against the innocent.

gtconway3d Somebody got in touch with her inner MAGA, but she wanted the diet version.

gtconway3d No

Good grief. So detached from reality. 🙄

Delete this crap.

What a load of crap

gtconway3d What?! 😳

Even Pa knows better 🙄

No. Stop publishing this garbage This is exactly why I canceled my subscription

Is George Conway endorsing this opinion?

I hope this was a sarcastic comment.

gtconway3d Sorry, he’s our governor and has tried to take Virginia into the dark ages. Never in a million years!

A man who ran his entire campaign on CRT is what we need? He's is a knee-jerk reaction to young people voting blue. Gfy

gtconway3d Hell no…a weak wolf but still trying to hide in the sheep’s clothing

ktumulty Oh for chrissakes. Isn't it obvious by now? The R party has completely careened down the ravine and is wallowing in the MAGA goo of conspiracy, grievance, and corruption. It's gone. Kaput. Over. No one a bit more moderate has a prayer - Youngkin, Pence, etc., forget it.

He’s no more different then any republican. Hey I’ll eat this 💩 as long as it has a few sprinkles on it.

gtconway3d Youngkin lied… he ran as moderate, governs as radical right

Karen Tumulty Opinion Why Glenn Youngkin, or someone like him must run in 2024... Karen, sorry you’re choking as the WaPo GOP post Donny or is it Dummy Trump. A thought for the GOP Nazi’s, get a good lawyer, like Trump got.

gtconway3d WTF!?!

gtconway3d Yeah nah. No one needs another middle-aged white male trying to control women’s bodies. GTFO

Extremely 'Karen' opinion lol

Nope, no need to test. Can answer that question now - there are not any sane Repubs left. Thought Eric Holcomb was at one time, but he is going to show his anti-woman stance later this month with the IN special legislative session.

gtconway3d That is bonkers ….. wake up to reality of gop!

Oh, he ONLY wants a 15 week ban? Funny. Heard differently in a small town rag you might know.

gtconway3d FFFs

Youngkin just tried to bypass the legal terms by trying to early-run another delegates election here in VA. And they want someone like him? A lawbreaker?

lol

Dear WaPo editors: these bullshit 'enlightened centrism' pieces are why I did not renew my subscription. Do better.

Poor Karen...My goodness! This Dude was lying, like typical GOPers do, when he ran for Governor! Saying Critical Race Theory was being taught to children in K-12th grade?! Which it is not taught in Elementary, Middle Schools, nor High Schools. So nah, Karen.
