Examples of Glenn in a Sentence

  1. Tim Kaine:

    Virginians have very strong feelings about Donald Trump and Virginians are sophisticated with elections every year. So we know what's going on, the way that Glenn Youngkin has tried to kind of have it both ways of -- taking advantage of Donald Trump and preaching electoral integrity and bringing Steve Bannon in for a rally, but then saying you didn't know about it, glenn Youngkin's trying to have it both ways, but it's clear that Glenn Youngkin is a Donald Trump acolyte, as Terry McAuliffe has said, and Joe Biden has said too, and that just doesn't go over well.

  2. Brian Stryker:

    The respondents kind of laughed at that approach, they said,' Oh, these silly ads that compared Glenn Youngkin to Donald Trump the person — Glenn Youngkin just doesn't seem like Glenn Youngkin.'.

  3. Terry McAuliffe:

    Glenn Youngkin is not a reasonable Glenn Youngkin, i call Glenn Youngkin Donald Trump in khakis. Do we want a lapdog to Donald Trump to be our governor here in the commonwealth ? No we don't.

  4. Jason Johnson:

    The only reason that we're talking about critical race theory is because Glenn Youngkin had 18 months to convince people that Glenn Youngkin was not a fire-breathing horns out of Glenn Youngkin skull racist. You can only talk about critical race theory if you present yourself as the kind of neutral white guy who’s like, ‘ I don't dislike brown people, I just think this is going a little too far. ’ So it only works if you've been able to present yourself as neutral or non-hostile on race issues. That's not something that a lot of Republicans are very good at.

  5. Nicolle Wallace:

    Glenn Youngkin worshipped at the altar of Donald Trump … Glenn Youngkin did not really put much distance between Glenn Youngkin and Donald Trump on the big lie or the deadly insurrection, so, I think that the real ominous thing, is that critical race theory, which is n’t real, turned the suburbs 15 points to the Trump-insurrection-endorsed Republican.
