Many Republicans responded to the federal charges against Donald Trump with talking points about “the weaponization of federal law enforcement” or head-shaking about “a sad day.” But Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin stood out from the herd with a single tweet. Youngkin managed to deploy the talking points without even mentioning Trump’s name, wrap himself in tones of sorrow and concern for justice itself, and at the same time, astonishingly, latch on to Trump’s indictment to promote his own personal favorite political issue.
Unprecedented charges … sad day for our country … two-tiered justice system … selective prosecution … I’m sorry, what now? Virginia parents?
