Youngkin, like DeSantis, faces Trump's fury

We fight, We win, Am Yisrael Chai
“Young Kin (now that’s an interesting take. Sounds Chinese, doesn’t it?) in Virginia couldn’t have won without me,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social, his proprietary social media network. It is not clear why he falsely insinuated that Youngkin was of Chinese ancestry (the origins of the governor’s name are Germanic), but Trump has a record of rhetoric against China and Chinese people, which during the coronavirus pandemic contributed to anti-Asian rhetoric and violence.

Youngkin responded to Trump on Friday afternoon. "I have to be honest, I've been busy all morning," he told reporters after first claiming not to have seen Trump's message. "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," adding a few moments later, "That's not the way I roll, and not the way I behave."
