Twitter Mistakenly Blames VA Gov-Elect Youngkin For Massive I-95 Logjam ‘Not Sworn In Until Jan 15’

FREDERICKSBURG, VA. (THECOUNT) — Thousands of folks on Twitter and other social media outlets are blaming Gov-elect Glenn Youngkin over an massive ongoing 90-mile snow-related traffic logjam on Interstate 95 in the Virginia/D.C. area, there’s just one little problem, Youngkin will not even be sword in until January 15th.

The misdirected anger toward Youngkin was so prevalent on Twitter, “Youngkin” was a top trending hashtag.

Gov. Ralph Northam is still in charge, but that didn’t stop Eric Boehlert, formerly of Media Matters, to tweet (and delete) a tweet also blaming Youngkin. Boehlert deleted his when he realized his mistake (he deleted it so quickly you can’t find an archived version of it.)

“Weird. Looks like @EricBoehlert deleted his tweet blaming Glenn Youngkin for the Virginia snow/traffic mess but didn’t replace it with one blaming Ralph Northam. Funny how that works”
