He criticized those who malign him for “not being Republican enough.” He called on them not to cast stones.

He then proceeded to bash the Senate president for his charge to bring charter schools and education savings accounts into West Virginia, which he compared to “causing a ruckus” and throwing a Hail Mary.

“I have pleaded with our Senate president saying, ‘Listen, you are imploding yourself,’” Justice said. “‘You are imploding the Senate.’”

Throughout the town hall Tuesday, Justice sought a balance between building Republican political support and distancing himself from Senate Republicans’ ongoing push to introduce charter schools and education savings accounts in the state.
