Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin on Friday condemned the decision to indict former President Donald Trump \u2014 and said parents in his state “know firsthand” what it’s like to be in Trump’s position.<\/p>\n
“These charges are unprecedented and it\u2019s a sad day for our country, especially in light of what clearly appears to be a two-tiered justice system where some are selectively prosecuted, and others are not,” Youngkin, a Republican, tweeted<\/a>. “Parents in Virginia know firsthand what it\u2019s like to be targeted by politically motivated actions.”<\/p>\n Youngkin’s 2021 campaign made a big bet on parental anger over education, and the strategy paid off. After trailing in the polls against Democrat Terry McAuliffe, he made a late-in-the-campaign surge and eked out a roughly 2-point victory.<\/p>\n Youngkin has also been seen as a potential candidate to run for the Republican nomination for president in 2024, and Trump has lashed out as the governor weighs whether to jump in.<\/p>\n
