When Youngkin in VA doesn't like a truth about a behavior he condemns telling the truth about that behavior

In that, he's a lot like Cheeto.

Glenn Youngkin’s underage son tried twice to vote

A juvenile son of Virginia Gov.-elect Glenn Youngkin tried twice to cast a ballot in Tuesday’s election, officials said Friday.

The 17-year-old son presented an ID but was told he was ineligible to vote due to his age and turned away, according to a statement from Scott Konopasek, Fairfax County’s general registrar. The statement said the teen did not successfully vote, made no false statements, did not disrupt voting and appeared to have committed “no election offense.”

Glenn Youngkin condemns report his son twice tried to vote in Virginia

Glenn Youngkin, the Republican victor in this week’s election for governor in Virginia, reacted angrily to a report which said his 17-year-old son twice tried to vote in the contest.

Responding to the Washington Post on Friday, a spokesman for Youngkin said: “It’s unfortunate that while Glenn attempts to unite the commonwealth around his positive message of better schools, safer streets, a lower cost of living and more jobs, his political opponents – mad that they suffered historic losses this year – are pitching opposition research on a 17-year-old kid.”


The incident *does* give a hint as to Youngkin's future style of governing when he assumes office.  He considers documenting and reporting on public behaviors to be "opposition research".


It doesn't speak well of his chaarcter.
