Youngkin Ad Features Mom Whose Son Was Terrorized By Toni Morrison Novel | Talking Points Memo

[discobot]

A lot of things happened. Here are some of the things.

Virginia GOP gubernatorial nominee Glenn Youngkin put out a 60-second ad yesterday of a Very Concerned Mother who somberly recounts how her son showed her his school reading material, and how her “heart sunk” because the reading was “some of the most explicit material you can imagine.”

The book which he read in high school was so traumatizing it caused him to barely get his law degree.

PLEASE… the terror was induced back in 2013 in an individual who is now a lawyer for the RNC.

[garrybee]

In the Youngkin story, the kid in question is now a lawyer for the GQP.

[ronbyers]

A high school senior taking AP English is “terrorized” by a reading assignment. That mother and son have bigger problems than explicit passages in a novel.

[jmacaz]

Just more proof how successful the 40+ year GOP plan to dumb down Americans has been

[ekcambridge]

What would Mom say about the Grand Inquisitor scene from the Brothers Karamazov?

Toni Morrison is a black Woman who can write.

Three strikes and you’re out!

[jmacaz]

IMO, she would say whatever Facebook/social media told her to say

[garrybee]

This could be fun.

A Scottish Judge Could Expose Donald Trump’s Shady Golf Finances

Golf Recreation Scotland Limited, which runs the operation, has suffered millions of dollars in losses every single year in operation since Trump acquired the property, according to its publicly available corporate statements filed in the United Kingdom.

Youngkin musta put out a Craigslist ad for Karens.

We need to address climate change through infrastructure before our world economy and world civilization collapse. I do not expect Republicans to respond to any form of reason, but it’s their best chance to be around to rat ass future generations.

• The student told the Post at the time that the book had given him nightmares because it was “disgusting and gross” and “hard for me to handle.” He is now an associate general counsel for the National Republican Congressional Committee.

The kid has a bright future as a GOP Election Ratfucker. Aspiring to be the next Lee Atwater, Roger Stone or Paul Manafort.

• Curiously enough, the ad never mentions which book it was or how old Murphy’s son was at the time.
  Sounds like the bible.

he GOP lawmaker hot-potatoed it to his staff. “I don’t know if my staff did. … but if they did I’d be proud of them for helping to put together a rally lawful under the First Amendment at the ellipse to protest voter fraud and election theft,” he told CNN (the 2020 election was not tainted by voter fraud).

In the immortal words of one Homer J. Simpson:

Heh, heh. Mo is their leader.

Youngkin is a bumpkin.

I have an extra copy at home, think I’ll mail it to him.

Probably started from birth, then he got an Ann Coulter action figure for his third birthday.
