Virginia's Republican Gov.-elect Glenn Youngkin doesn't take office until Jan. 15 – yet some critics Tuesday tried to blame him, instead of the commonwealth's outgoing Democratic incumbent, for a 179-mile-long traffic mess on Interstate 95.
Hundreds of travelers – including U.S. Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va. -- were stranded in their vehicles overnight Monday into Tuesday in frigid conditions along the northern third of the highway in Virginia.
However, one of the stranded motorists – New Jersey parent Joseph Catalano -- told Fox News he reached out to the actual sitting governor, Democrat Ralph Northam, while he and his family were trying to travel home from Disney World in Florida.
On Tuesday night's "Tucker Carlson Tonight," host Tucker Carlson noted that many others impulsively blamed Youngkin instead of Northam for the crisis.

And the sheeple will associate Youngkin with this, instead of Coonman, the Left knows exactly what they are doing.
Yep. Northam is taking 1 more lap around the F’em course. He could care less about the citizenry at this point.
quel shock! there are ignoramuses out there - who’elected’ our current occupant of 1600 - rings in their noses and no perceived brain activity.
Youngkin needs to learn to play offense. And soon.
Democrats respond “Yeah, but if he HAD been in office, this is exactly how he would have botched it.”
The Left specializes in blaming others.
Northam refused to call in Natl Guard and did NOT salt the roads. Typical petulant child liberal behavior.
Jonah Goldberg was one of those “critics” who blamed the governor elect. Goldberg is a phony. If the National Review wants to reestablish its credibility, it has to get rid of Goldberg. Bill Buckley must be rolling in his grave while this phony is associated with and has such great influence on the once great institution he founded.
The left and certain individuals on “our side”.
Even a fool, (when he holdeth his peace) is counted wise, and he that stoppeth his lips, prudent.
Proverbs 17:28
Criticizing him now, before he takes office, seems absurd. But if they still bring it up a year from now, history will have become blurry, and low information voters will begin to buy the message.
Goldberg wrote a great book, Liberal Fascism, a decade or more ago, then went to complete poo. Sad, really.
i thought Goldberg left NR to found The Dispatch. does he still write for it nevertheless?
It’s what they did with Nixon and Vietnam. Now the vast majority of Americans blame Nixon for Vietnam, and not LBJ.
Absolutely, and you make a very good point. A lot of people on “our side” are not really on our side.
Just laugh out loud at them as publicly as possible.
Got link?...................
I predicted the morning those happened someone in the Virginia government wanted the new republican governor to look bad....sure enough...
Never let a God crisis go to waste
