Republican Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin had a tense exchange with Texas Tribune co-founder Evan Smith over education at the news outlet's annual festival.
AUSTIN, Texas - Republican Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin faced a hostile liberal crowd as he sparred with a local journalist over his education agenda at the 2024 Texas Tribune Festival. Youngkin, who famously won his 2021 gubernatorial race on the issue of education, was the closing keynote speaker at the annual political conference and was grilled in an interview Saturday night with Texas Tribune co-founder Evan Smith.
This is about having parents to have full transparency what's going on in their kids' lives,' Youngkin finished his thought. 'And the authors of books that have been removed from library shelves who say Virginia is censoring us. You say what to them?' Smith followed. 'I say first of all, Virginia is not censoring,' Youngkin responded.
