A shopper demanded to know where Glenn Youngkin’s mask was during an appearance at an Alexandria grocery store. Youngkin appeared to be the only person not wearing a mask as required in the store. The shopper in the heavily-democratic city saw fit to give him a piece of her mind.
Youngkin, the far-right zealot who purports to be a moderate, recently announced that he wants to join a parents’ lawsuit against school mask mandates.

Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin was heckled during a visit to a grocery store in Alexandria, Virginia on Thursday where he appeared without wearing a mask to discuss tax reform.
Two shoppers in the store took aim at the Republican governor and demanded to know where his mask was. Alexandria is a heavily Democratic city and Youngkin won just less than 25 percent of the vote there in the November 2021 Virginia gubernatorial election.
…
As Youngkin was leaving the store via the cash registers, a woman also took issue with the fact he wasn’t wearing a mask. The cashier who was assisting Youngkin was wearing a face mask.
“Governor, where’s your mask?” the shopper shouted. “You’re in Alexandria. Read the room, buddy!”
The woman repeated that Youngkin should “read the room” with regard to mask-wearing.
Another man also asked where his mask was, calling Youngkin “a putz” for not wearing a mask as required in the store.
While promoting his plan to eliminate grocery taxes, a customer strongly expressed disapproval over a maskless Youngkin.
“Governor, where is your mask?”
“We’re all making choices today.”
“Yeah, look around you governor, you’re in Alexandria. Read the room buddy!”@wusa pic.twitter.com/zNkgFXppVs
