VA State Sen. Scott Surovell's UGLY dig at Youngkin for pardoning Scott Smith goes REALLY wrong

As T witchy reported earlier today, Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin issued a pardon to Scott Smith, the Loudon County father arrested for standing up to the Loudon County School Board after they covered up the sexual assault of his daughter by a trans student, who was then transferred to another school where a second student was assaulted.

When the news broke, it was well-received by conservative Twitter (and any sane parent who realizes Smith did nothing wrong, save speak his mind to the Loudon County School Board).

But because Glenn Youngkin has an R after his name, this reasonable and appropriate use of his pardon powers cannot go left uncriticized by the Left. Enter Virginia State Senator Scott Surovell, who decided being an apologist for a student accused of multiple sexual assaults is a good political hill to die on:

Glenn Youngkin is all about law and order until he can use a pardon to help his failing presidential ambitions or try to change the campaign focus from taking away women's rights to his billionaire funded mission to destroy & privatize schools pic.twitter.com/NaxKWosX0C

There are so many things wrong and, frankly, unhinged about that tweet that it's not possible it was written by anyone other than Senator Surovell himself:

Scott obviously does his own comms.

No one gets paid to have a take this terrible, let alone publish it in the boss's name. https://t.co/24jGfAhMP2

Not if said staffer wants to remain employed.

While Youngkin has not ruled out a 2024 run, it is inadvisable at this point given how late it is in the election cycle, so Surovell's argument there goes right out the window. As to the rant about women's rights and school choice -- yeah, maybe women do have a right not to be sexually assaulted in their bathrooms and have their public school board cover it up.

The bigger story is why in the hell a prosecutor who loves to give sweetheart deals to thieves & Black Lives Matter rioters didn’t show a little grace to a father trying to bust the cover-up of his daughters rape at a public school. Haven’t VA Democrats done enough to his family?

But we all know why this happened. It's (D)ifferent. Once more, for the people in the back:

Just so we're clear:

Scott sides with a serial rapist and the school that covered up his first rape so that he could commit a second.

Not the victim's dad who raised his voice.

Scott is a garbage human being.

If you voted for Scott, wash your hands. https://t.co/24jGfAhMP2

Since the senator tweeted this on a Sunday -- the start of the regular NFL football season, among other things -- one can only assume he hoped it would go unnoticed in the weekend news cycle. He was wrong. Surovell is going to have one heck of a Monday. And it is richly deserved.
