1. Good for them. The GOP wants to be the party of anti-intellectualism so they have no business speaking at commencement ceremonies.

2. Good. I still can’t fathom how Virginia fucked up this badly by electing a republican governor. Thankfully, Dems control both chambers of the legislature. Otherwise, Youngkin would be turning Virginia into Florida

3. Just making sure the youth don’t vote republican.

4. Unfortunately, it appears that it was only about 100 out of 1100.

5. Blumpkin was smart enough to make millions of dollars, but dumb enough to spend so much of it on becoming governor— an office you can only hold for 4 years, and in which your agenda is kaput if the other party controls the legislature. So essentially he dropped millions of his own money to be a lame duck governor that much of this moderate state hates because of his idiotic far-right positions. Well done, Glenn! Now fuck off back to your hedge funds.

6. It says a lot that he was even invited to speak, the ones in charge should quit because they obviously have no idea what the school wants or stands for at this time.

7. It wasn’t just a handful either. A lot of them walked out.

8. Honestly amazed it was only 100

9. Good. Proud of them. Went to some awesome ball games at that place and he embodies nothing that they stand for.

10. Love Governor Youngkin. Glad I voted for him
