VA Gov. responds to lawsuit over voter removal program

Glenn Youngkin : 'I think it should be very easily handled by, if necessary, the National Guard or if really necessary, by the military' 'I'm a governor of a state that is not near the southern border. And yet I see the impacts of 10 million people illegally coming across the border every single day . 5 Virginians die on average from fentanyl overdose. And we've had Virginians who have, who have been subjected to sexual assault by Venezuelan gang members. We've had folks that have crashed the front gate at Quantico in a box truck trying to gain access to Quantico .

The Justice Department is suing Virginia 's election officials alleging that you're violating federal law because you were purging voters that were flagged as potential non citizens.

This process has been in in place since 2006 , according to law, and they chose 25 days before an election in Virginia to assert something which really is inconsistent with the process that we're doing.

Governor says the idea that non citizens have to be kept on the voter roll, even when we know they're not there is inconsistent with the Constitution , the state constitution, federal law and state law.

Governor says he's compelled to abide by the law in the Constitution to do exactly what he says.
