Governor Glen Youngkin SLAMS California's laws in Virginia

  • 2 years ago
Governor Glen Youngkin: "Well, first of all, Tucker, it's great to be with you. And when Virginians elected me governor last year, they wanted to put a stop to an effort from the previous Democratic led administration to turn Virginia into California. Little did they know that they had signed legislation and tied Virginia to decisions are going to be made in California.

So not only did they pick a state that has demonstrated it has no idea how to run itself to tie itself to, but they abdicated their responsibility to serve Virginians. And so we find ourselves today with this ludicrous law that Virginia has to follow California's laws. And so we're going to go to work and stop this because Virginians should be making decisions for Virginians.

And that's why I was elected governor last year, to stop a government that was very comfortable telling people what to do all the time and forgetting that we're here, in fact, to make our own decisions. Freedom, in fact, matters in Virginia. That's why parents make decisions about whether kids wear masks today. That's why people can make a decision about whether they want to get a vaccine or not. And I'm going to go to work to make sure they can decide what kind of car they want to buy."
