CNN’s Jim Acosta is blasting Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R) for setting up a tip line for parents to send in complaints about “divisive practices” in schools.
On Tuesday night, Acosta said, “I seem to remember Glenn Youngkin campaigning in a fleece vest in Virginia. He was running as a different kind of Republican.”
“I was told there was going to be a vest, not a Soviet-style police state across the Potomac from Washington,” he added.
Youngkin was known for wearing a fleece vest during the 2021 gubernatorial campaign.

During a recent interview with conservative radio host John Fredericks, Youngkin said the tip line is for “parents to send us any instances where they feel that their fundamental rights are being violated, where their children are not being respected, where there are inherently divisive practices in their schools.”
“We’re asking for folks to send us reports and observations that they have that will help us be aware of things like privilege bingo, be aware of their child being denied their rights that parents have in Virginia. And we’re going to make sure we catalog it all,” he added.
