Sleaze: McAuliffe’s campaign all in on hoax meant to smear Youngkin

October 31, 2021 by 1 Comment

On Friday the anti-Donald Trump group The Lincoln Project, who claims to be a group of conservatives, appeared to take credit for a stunt in which people dressed as white supremacists gathered at an event for the Republican candidate for Virginia governor, Glenn Youngkin, pretending to support him., Fox News reported.

“These men approached Glenn Youngkin’s bus as it pulled up saying what sounded like, ‘We’re all in for Glenn.’ Here they are standing in front of the bus as his campaign event at Guadalajara started,” NBC 28 reporter Elizabeth Holmes said on Twitter with a photo of the men dressed like those at the Unite The Right rally in Charlottesville, holding tiki torches.

Some members of Democrat candidate Terry McAuliffe’s campaign, presumably believing the stunt was real, spread the hoax on Twitter.

“The Unite the Right rally was one of the darkest days in the Commonwealth’s history. this is who Glenn Youngkin’s supporters are,” Christina Freundlich, a spokesperson for the Democrat, said in a tweet that has since been deleted.

“Wow. At a campaign stop for Glen Youngkin this morning, people were holding tiki torches and chanting “we’re all in for Glenn,” McAuliffe campaign social media manager Charlie Olaf said in another tweet that has been deleted. “Disgusting reference to 2017 Unite the Right Rally in Charlottesville.”

California Democrat Rep. Eric Swalwell said, “Birds of a feather,” in a tweet that he has since deleted after The Lincoln Project appeared to take credit.

“The Lincoln Project has run advertisements highlighting the hate unleashed in Charlottesville as well as Glenn Youngkin’s continued failure to denounce Donald Trump’s ‘very fine people on both sides.’ We will continue to draw this contrast in broadcast videos, on our social media platforms, and at Youngkin rallies,” the group said. “Today’s demonstration was our way of reminding Virginians what happened in Charlottesville four years ago, the Republican Party’s embrace of those values, and Glenn Youngkin’s failure to condemn it.”

“In my capacity as a communications consultant, I worked w @ProjectLincoln to coordinate today’s Youngkin action in Charlottesville. I join them in the fight to defend our democracy from rightwing extremists and call for Glenn Youngkin to denounce Trump’s ‘very fine people,’” Lauren Windsor, the executive director of American Family Voices said.

    The Dirty Democrats will steal your money, your freedom, your children. Nothing is beneath them. If they are so “Progressive” then why are blacks feeling so repressed after almost 100 years of Democrat rule. Throw off the chains of the Democrat Party. Vote RED.
