Virginia’s AG Slams CNN’s Acosta For Claiming Virginia Is ‘Soviet-Style Police State’: ‘My Family Fled Cuba’

Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares slammed CNN host Jim Acosta on Wednesday night for suggesting that the commonwealth is now a “soviet-style police state” under Republican Governor Glenn Youngkin.

“I seem to remember Glenn Youngkin campaigning in a fleece vest in Virginia,” Acosta said on Tuesday night. “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.”

The Daily Wire reported:

Acosta accused Youngkin of “pitting citizen against citizen” immediately after playing a clip of the governor promising to remove “inherently divisive teaching practices out of the schools.” Acosta seemed outraged by removing the racially polarizing CRT curriculum from taxpayer-funded schools — the chief campaign promise made by Youngkin and Lieutenant Governor Winsome Sears — which Acosta said violates “the traditional conservative tenets of liberty, anti-censorship and freedom.”
