The Family Foundation: Gov. Youngkin's Face Off w/Leftists & the Session of Vice

Candi Cushman, Vice President Wednesday, April 17, 2024   As predicted, left-wing radicals in control of the General Assembly used the "fire hose" strategy—hoping the more they threw at us, the harder it would be to defeat individual bills. In this week's Speak Up! Virginia podcast, we discuss how that resulted in the Legislative "Session of Vice:" Leftists went gung ho in pushing every kind of vice or sin industry possible through proposed bills--we're talking about everything from shield protections for Planned Parenthood abortionists, to pot shops on every corner to convenience store gambling. The good news is, Gov. Youngkin provided a strategic backstop with an unprecedented number of vetoes and amendments reigning in the vice industry. But some leftists are attempting to call his bluff. Who will win? We give our predictions. Watch Now:
