Aaron Rupar: Gov. Glenn Youngkin passes on a do-over of his 'callous attack' on Nancy Pelosi

Brett T. | 4:36 PM on October 29, 2022

We told you a little while back that this White House is obviously governed by Twitter, as it recently invited some of the most far-left accounts to gather there and pose for a group photo. Among them was serial fabulist Aaron Rupar, who usually trims video clips and takes them out of context, but this one time he’s actually posted the full clip — we guess he assumes it’s damning enough. Considering the attack on Paul Pelosi in his home, was it too soon for Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin to talk about sending Nancy Pelosi home? On Newsmax, Greta Van Susteren gave Youngkin the opportunity for a do-over, on which he gave a pass.

“Callously attacking.” Yeah, just like Sarah Palin’s crosshair graphics were an incitement to assassinate.

Good

He condemned the violence thoroughly and repeatedly. That’s sufficient. Saying we’re going to “send the Speaker home” isn’t a “callous attack”

The left (including media) want to use this to pretend any criticism of Pelosi is out of bounds 10 days before midterms

It’s not https://t.co/hAkTdWfJTe

Nor should he.

#Virginia, Are you ready for more political violence? @GlennYoungkin is encouraging it. https://t.co/2DVtcXTGFF

Yeah, that’s exactly what we picked up on his repeated denouncing of the attack and the numerous well-wishes.
