Rep. Liz Cheney tweeted her congratulations to Governor-elect Glenn Younkin, saying his victory “demonstrated Republican values and competence, not conspiracy theories and lies, win elections”:
Congratulations to @GlennYoungkin for a great victory last night. Winning back suburban moms and independent voters, he demonstrated Republican values and competence, not conspiracy theories and lies, win elections.

But it’s Cheney who finds herself on the wrong side of progs as they see Youngkin’s win as one gained through disinformation and conspiracy theories:
This is disinformation. Youngkin exploited a panic over CRT that was orchestrated and exploited people’s race paranoia. He cynically used Toni Morrison as a cudgel. https://t.co/x1WMjsW6RM

And:
He literally played the race card but wrapped it up in a nice package. Best of luck to Virginia because they will need it when he starts banning a lot of things.

Yup lying about CRT worked, it's the old playbook. Scare the white women about something that doesn't exist. Will he ban Beloved in school.

Claiming that teaching CRT in schools actually happens anywhere in America is a lie, though lying is a core republican value.

He used CRT as a racist dog whistle, but whatever you need to tell yourself.

Isn't running on stopping schools teaching critical race theory a conspiracy theory, given that schools don't teach critical race theory?

He’s a supporter of January 6, too, if this is to be believed:
He flew a Jan. 6 insurrection flag during his campaign.
