and emma potter. good morning. a post from this op ed i know you read. it says youngkin, who squeaked into office with two-point margin of victory was soul of moderation and first week in office showed him to be a trumpian culture warrior, which according to the poll is a bad thing. do you have buyers remorse? i don t. i read the article and disagree with the premise. governor youngkin surprised everyone how he s been. these are things he campaigned on, he said he would end mask mandate in school and done that, he said he would listen to parents and he s done that. anybody who claims to have buyer s remorse on governor youngkin wasn t paying very good attention to his campaign. carley: yeah, really good point and the things governor
put it for the washington post, quote, virginians are discovering a bentley unfortunately that there is no such thing as trumpism light. youngkin s first week in office showed him to be a trumpian culture warrior. still with us, eugene robinson and mike murphy. eugene, the up at for the washington post defending his action quote, virginia s parents have had enough with the government dictation of how they should raise their soldiers of the guy who is dictating to schools how that they should be doing with thousands of irony. eugene, your reaction is open in your paper? yeah that is exactly right that he ran this campaign about local schools on his first day he sees this control of the schools from localities. he bans the teaching of critical race theory which is not being taught in virginia schools. so that is irrelevant. except we also bans the teaching of divisive you can t teach american history and race without raising divisive concepts. that is pretty divisive.

not georgia. she s hoping this race follows the model of a couple other states that recently had races that pitted a democrat, who emphasizes pocketbook issues, versus a republican who is very much a trumpian culture warrior, talking about guns and illegal immigration and all kinds of other cultural issues that a governor doesn t usually concern themself with. for example, the virginia governors race and the alabama senate race. in both of those you had republican candidates using a trump echoing message. democrats are running on expanding health care, expanding medicaid in the case of stacey abrams. georgia, historically red state. it s only become republican in the last decade and a half. it s also diversified incredibly rapidly. the voting population in georgia
