WASHINGTON (AP) — Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin wrote to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to apologize for widely criticized remarks he made after the October attack on her husband, Paul Pelosi, Youngkin's office confirmed Wednesday.

“My full intention on my comments was to categorically state that violence and the kind of violence that was perpetrated against Speaker Pelosi’s husband is not just unacceptable, it’s atrocious. And I didn’t do a great job with that," the Republican governor said in a statement provided by a spokesperson.

Youngkin said he sent Pelosi a “personal note” to “to reflect those sentiments.”

Paul Pelosi was hospitalized after authorities say he was violently assaulted by an intruder who broke into the couple's San Francisco home.

1. Uh huh

I mean, it's great to apologize. But, we're not stupid.

[ZonkerHarris]

5. Tell him to go on Fox news and say it

[TimeToGo]

25. Indeed

[hay rick]

32. Double dog dare.

That would be too much like a real apology and immediately disqualify him from consideration for the 2024 presidential nomination.

[Casady1]

2. Someone told him that he was an idiot

That is the only reason why he issued an apology.

[Ray Bruns]

6. No. He was getting hammered in the local press by editorial boards And individuals.

[BonnieJW]

30. That would be me.

I live in Virginia and I sent him an email and said "Shame on you. Is this the Christian family man you professed to be in your campaign ads? Did you mention what you said to your kids? Proud moment for you? Joking about an 82 year old man who was assaulted and in the ICU, while his 80 year old wife was worried sick about him. You have sunk to a new low."

[Major Nikon]

31. Virginia isn't the deep south

It's a far more evenly divided state politically. Had he not apologized the stink of it would have followed him around for a long time and the GQP couldn't afford it. The ONLY reason he apologized was political, proven by the timing of it.

[AZLD4Candidate]

3. Day late, dollar short fascist

[ZonkerHarris]

4. Fuck that guy

[ShazzieB]

7. Jerk. 🙄

He meant every word of that comment at the time!

Glad he got in trouble for it.

[Martin68]

8. Just couldn't help politicizing it.

[Dawson Leery]

9. Glenn knows that Democrats have power over government spending

(which keeps Virginia's economy afloat)

[tulipsandroses]

10. Like I said in my post about this. This is not about the apology

The normalization of these assholes has begun, to make them more palatable for 24.

I think Republicans are seeing that it’s going to be tough to win nationally with the MAGA playbook. Youngkin is being looked at for 24. Even if he is not the nominee, don’t underestimate how normalizing him may have a carryover effect.

They find it advantageous now, after the Redwave failed to tell us about his apology letter. Couldn’t do it before, might piss off MAGATs.

[not fooled]

17. ++++++++++++++++++

My reaction exactly. If GQPee candidates had done better, Youngkin would have doubled down on the assholery.

[rurallib]

11. It took him what? 10 days+ to issue an apology?

must not have felt real bad.

Only did it no doubt because he was forced into it somehow.

[The Grand Illuminist]

12. If we forgive him,

Then we deserve to lose the next election because that is a show of weakness.

[OneCrazyDiamond]

13. It's a start.

Now resign.

[ancianita]

14. He's a liar. Trying only to keep from being sued for hate speech and defamation.

[GreenWave]

15. Now apologize for your racist campaign based on nonexistent CRT in public schools.

They did shit before the elections. Rile parents up in blue areas based on hyper-magnified incidents in schools. As a result some parents are duped into thinking CRT is a thing in school and goddamn it I am voting red to get rid of it.

[rogue emissary]

18. +1

[Raven123]

16. A real man (or woman) would have stood up and apologized publicly before the election.

[rogue emissary]

19. Exactly.

[dlk]

20. Remember what Youngkin's first response was

It tells us everything about his character and who he really is.

[djacq]

21. Governor CRT Hotlline meant every word of his so called joke.

I reside in the newly redistrict VA-10. Youngkin campaigned with insurrectionists, election deniers, and anti abortionists; the usual MAGA crowd.

You are the company you keep.

Goodbye to insurrectionist and Trump supporter Bob Good.

Congratulations to Rep Jennifer Wexton on her reelection.

[halfulglas]

22. Load of crap.

Now that the election is over he says this.

[Scalded Nun]

23. Reply to Gov Youngkin: Go fuck yourself

[Deep State Witch]

24. Trumpkin's Tail Between His Legs

His hand-picked token immigrants (Vega and Cao) got beat last night.

[Grokenstein]

26. "I didn't do a great job with that"

No Sherlock, shit.

[kairos12]

27. Go f... yourself Vest Guy.

You are a disgusting POS.

[Evolve Dammit]

28. Another vile creature. What a total dickwad for his "humor." Fuck him. I'm getting as bad as Rude P

[tishaLA]

29. Sure, sure. His first impulse was sadistic humor but

we should just disregard that and roast smores around the ca,pfire.

Until he throws us into the fire, that is.

[dchill]

33. Glenn Youngkin is a pissant.
