As the frustrations mount and the insane clips and photos of what things look like continue to roll in, some have taken to the Twitter machine to blame Republican Glenn Youngkin, who I should point out is the Gov.-Elect and won’t be sworn in until January 15th. The blame was so predominant that as I write this, “Youngkin” is trending on Twitter.
For instance, Jonah Goldberg, who we have been reliably told is a truuuue conservative or something, said on Twitter that “If I was Glenn Youngkin I’d be flooding the zone to get this I-95 crap fixed. DC suburbs are vengeful about this kind of thing.”
A liberal calling himself “John Peter Zinger” and who has nearly 5,000 followers went off on Youngkin, apparently also not realizing that Gov. Ralph Northam (D) still held the office.
“What’s happening on the highways in Virginia is tragic. Problem is Gov. Youngkin has NO EXPERIENCE in governing. That’s what happens when voters fall for CRT dog whistles. Y’all should have stuck with McAuliffe, Virginia,” he whined.
“Looks Youngkin failed his first test in Va, with traffic stopped for 10-12 hrs on 95 in Virginia. Failure for gov.,” complained Jennifer G., a self-described “liberal transplant in NC.”
There were many more tweets along those lines, but one of the more high-profile liberals – Eric Boehlert, formerly of Media Matters infamy – deleted his when he realized his mistake (he deleted it so quickly you can’t find an archived version of it):
Weird. Looks like @EricBoehlert deleted his tweet blaming Glenn Youngkin for the Virginia snow/traffic mess but didn’t replace it with one blaming Ralph Northam. Funny how that works. #VApol https://t.co/ANvh1eD28b pic.twitter.com/wpx5hUbdBx

And via Twitchy here are some more gems from our insanely clueless liberal friends.
As we told you earlier, there’s an ongoing humanitarian crisis on I-95 in northern Virginia where thousands of motorists were stranded overnight in the aftermath of Monday’s snowstorm and frigid temperatures.
Here’s what it looks like right now from Florida reporter Jim DeFede:
Good morning from I95 in Virginia where I have been trapped in my car for more than 20 hours.
I’m not sure but I think I now qualify for Virginia residency. pic.twitter.com/yQsD4znPRG— Jim DeFede (@DeFede) January 4, 2022
The Virginia Department of Transportation is aware of the problem, but. . .
NEW: From @VaDOT "We know many travelers have been stuck on Interstate 95 in our region for extraordinary periods of time over the past 24 hours, in some cases since Monday morning.

. . .but, there’s no quick fix on the horizon:
From our chopper vantage point we can see some spots where they’re slowly getting cars moving. Slowly

Keep in mind, Dem Ralph Northam is still governor until January 15:
Youngkin is Gov Elect. Ralph Northam is the current governor for a few more days.

But the pesky fact that this crisis is right now at the feet of a Dem hasn’t stopped many libs from blaming Youngkin for the mess:
12 hours later you are just now “mobilizing” to rescue people stranded in 15 degree temps with no food, water or gas?? @VaDOTFRED @GlennYoungkin #I95 #VDOTsucks
— Ryan (@needmorestonks) January 4, 2022
SERIOUSLY! You’re JUST NOW mobilizing? @GlennYoungkin here’s your evidence to clean out @VaDOT #I95 #Stafford

@GlennYoungkin Virginia governor are you safe and warm?
I95 has been a parking lot since 3 yesterday afternoon
This is a glimpse of the Governor Virginia elected
UNACCEPTABLE— Lisa (@rexrode1967) January 4, 2022
Where are you when your constituents are stuck on I95 today?!!!

@Morning_Joe Maybe Mr @GlennYoungkin is hard at work trying to get rid of #CriticalRaceTheory out of #Virginia schools who gives a damn about a few thousand people freezing to death on i-95

So, where’s Republican Gov Youngkin in this I-95 mega-disaster???? 48 mile shutdown for hours & hours in VA & he’s nowhere to be found. This never happened under Dem Gov Northam—or any other Gov for that matter!!!!! Shame!

Does Virginia’s new Governor Youngkin know people have been stranded on I-95 for 15 hours?
With no help in sight?— Michele Murelli (@MicheleMurelli) January 4, 2022
If Covid and inflation are Brandon's fault, is the I-95 mess Glen Youngkin's fault? He knew the storm was coming.
