In today's Washington Post:
Without bothering with the facts of the Mar-a-Lago documents case, Mr. Youngkin leaped to former president Donald Trump’s defense, suggesting that the indictment proved a rich White man can’t get a fair shake in this country. He did not concede the election was fair and that President Biden was legitimately elected until after he secured the gubernatorial nomination, harping endlessly on “election integrity” and claiming that Mr. Trump is a victim of political prosecution.
These are obvious and stupid lies, and I’m pretty sure that not even Mr. Youngkin believes them. He’s a knave, not a fool. It sure would be nice if our governor would tell the truth at least once in a while, though.

Youngkin's disingenuous "two- tiered justice system" argument intended as a defense of his party's cult leader was doubtless spoon fed to him, as well as to the other two- legged rats mentioned above, as a MAGAt focus- group- tested line to be deployed whenever the cult leader's criminal behavior was brought to account. It's a disqualifying sentiment for any politician, no matter how slick, to undercut the rule of law and legitimacy of our legal system, especially in defense of someone so "shallow, egomaniacal and ignorant" as the Malignant Loser.
In the meantime, Youngkin and his fellow lickspittles should be asked specifically what crimes that are in the Malignant Loser's indictment should President Biden (or Hillary Clinton, for that matter) be charged with, based on the evidence? Huh? Huh?
