Shoppers tell maskless Glenn Youngkin to "read the room"

Jack Cocchiarella @JDCocchiarella 1h
This woman calling out Glenn Youngkin for not wearing a mask is today’s hero!




Glenn Youngkin Heckled in Virginia: 'Where's Your Mask?'

The heckling came as seven school boards in the state are suing over an order the governor issued that allows parents to let their children opt out of school mask mandates. The American Civil Liberties Union of Virginia also announced it was suing over the order this week.

During the round table, one shopper shouted at Youngkin from an elevator behind where the event was taking place.

"Where's the mask?" the man said, and appeared to call Youngkin a "putz" as the governor continued speaking.

As Youngkin was leaving the store via the cash registers, a woman also took issue with the fact he wasn't wearing a mask. The cashier who was assisting Youngkin was wearing a face mask.

"Governor, where's your mask?" the shopper shouted. "You're in Alexandria. Read the room, buddy!"

And then she duly went back to her business of cashiering.

GOP hate it when people confront them.

Well, what can I say? Sinema hides in bathrooms to avoid being questioned, then calls the police and demands charges filed against people who do that for harassment.

Remember, they protect people in power from the little people who dare to think their voices actually matter.

Video images of the goon squad. This is a battle fought in the media, so there must be overwhelming pictures countering the right-wing propaganda.

Everyone, have your cameras ready. The best way to stop the bad images of propagandists is good people with cameras. Drown them out.

and must be banned.

I suppose he does have some guts for going to a liberal part of the state. The red areas are quite the opposite on masking.

Walking unmasked into a store in a blue part of the state where masking is customary reeks of rubbing people's noses in the fact that he won. Not cool, dude.

I love it! I hope someone finds out who that woman is. NOVA is not going to put up with Youngkin’s crap without a fight.

What a fucking douchebag. You know what, I hope that choice gets you sick, guv. I know it probably won't get you killed since you're probably vaxxed and boosted, unlike most of your cultist followers, but it would serve you right if you got really, really fucking sick as a result. Asshole.
