Tiki-Torch Wielding Men Target Glenn Youngkin in Disgusting Smear Attempt
2021-10-30
[REDSTATE] We are only a few days removed from Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. Former Senator-for-Life from Delaware, an example of the kind of top-notch Washington intellect hacked up by the World's Greatest Deliberative Body. The guy who single-handedly lost Afghanistan...
comparing Glenn Youngkin, the sweater-vest wearing, Harvard-educated Republican, with those who entered the Capitol Building on January 6th. Yet, the disgusting smears aren’t slowing down.

In what many are describing as an obvious setup meant to tie Youngkin to racists that he has nothing to do with, tiki-torch wielding men photo-bombed his campaign bus today. Conveniently, a single news hound was around to snap a picture so it could go viral.

Amazingly, Elizabeth Holmes didn’t bother to, you know, go ask these men who they are and who they are affiliated with. Instead, she just put the picture up with no context whatsoever. That’s apparently called "journalism" these days.

Let’s also note that one of the men in the picture is black, which essentially confirms these are Democrats trying to falsely attack Youngkin just days before Virginia votes. If these were real white supremacists, I’m going to guess they wouldn’t be palling around with a black guy. But hey, what do I know?

The next question is who paid these men to do this. Was it coordinated by the McAuliffe campaign or by one of the other groups supporting his campaign (such as The Lincoln Project)? That’s what my bet would be on. It’s unlikely these men got together completely unprompted to pull off this stunt. Further, here’s Mcauliffe’s spokeswoman immediately running with the smear, which makes me think they are involved.

By the way, this is the same Christina Freundlich who got caught trying to kill the Fox News story about McAuliffe hiring Marc Elias.

Of course, there was a lighter side to this as well as the jokes started to roll in.

You can smell the flop sweat emanating from Terry McAuliffe’s campaign. Unable to compete with Youngkin on the issues, he and his allies have been reduced to alleging "racism" where none exists. It’s the same tactic that Democrats always use, and it’s going to fall flat here. While McAuliffe has focused on courting out-of-state politicians, Youngkin has been on the ground, focusing on the voters. The people of Virginia know who he is. They know these smears are ludicrous.

#6  One look at those doofuses and you just know they are not the sharpest tools in the crayon box. McAuliffe must be scraping the bottom of the barrel.

#2  The dems are so committed to their diversity sham that they just had to have at least one black guy in their fake white-supremacist chorus line.

#1  And they're dressed like Boys State delegates. Because we all know Nazis just love their chinos and pinpoint Oxford-cloth button-down white shirts.

Sweet Jesus, these assholes are retarded. They can't even smear properly.
