{snip}

ETA: Youngkin was sworn in as governor on January 15, 2022. He cannot serve two terms in a row. He was to wait at least four years before running again.

For any shooting before January 15, 2022, Youngkin would have had no say in how the Virginia flag was displayed.

Appropriate.

3. You can sit down Youngkin. Trump picked someone else as VP.

4. Odd that we are lowering flags for normal murder these days...

Wouldn't they just be lowered all the time?

5. Were any flags lowered...

for the murder victims of Kyle Rittenhouse?

6. "No, because those were people we didn't like."

7. We've had the flags at half- staff so much

since he's been governor, we might as wll leave them that way.
