Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R) was asked about a racist-sounding comment made by former President Trump [I don't think Trump is a racist, but the comment seemed to lean in that direction] that seemed to come out of the blue.
Specifically, Trump wrote on his social media site, Truth Social, “Young Kin (now that’s an interesting take. Sounds Chinese, doesn’t it?) in Virginia couldn’t have won without me.”
Youngkin refused to engage in the game when reporters tried to goad him later in the day.
“First of all I didn’t see it,” Youngkin said in a clip posted to Twitter by WRIC-TV reporter Jackie DeFusco.
Even if he did see Trump's post, he gave reporters the right reply. “Listen, you all know me. I do not call people names. I really work hard to bring people together and that’s what we’re working on,” he said.
Youngkin indicated he did not want to hear the post read because he's obviously too intelligent to get into the mud to wrestle with Trump and satisfy reporters looking to make big news.
“That’s not the way I roll, and not the way I behave,” he said. “This is a moment for us to come together.’

The grownups have entered the room, boys and girls.
Virginia came on Trump’s radar after a Thursday comment by Youngkin's Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears, that Trump might be more a part of the GOP’s past than its future. Imagine how angry that must have made the former President.
“What we saw was, even though he wasn’t on the ballot, he was, because he stepped in and endorsed candidates,” Earle-Sears said, according to The Washington Post.
“And yet, it turns out that those he did not endorse on the same ticket did better than the ones he did endorse. That gives you a clue that the voters want to move on. And a true leader knows when they have become a liability to the mission,” she said.

So what do you think? Is Trump part of the GOP's past or will he still be part of its future? Feel free to comment.
