Stafford, Va. (Newsradiowrva.com) - Governor Glenn Youngkin is facing criticism online for comments made during a campaign event Friday with Congressional Candidate Yesli Vega (R). Vega is running against Congresswoman Abagail Spanberger (D-7).
During the campaign event in Stafford, Youngkin spoke to the GOP crowd about the attack on the husband of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Youngkin said "there is no room for violence anywhere, but we're going to send her (Pelosi) back to be with him in California." The comment was made just hours after the attack, and brought some cheers.
The comment can be seen on Democratic tracking video posted online:
