    A small group of people standing vigil outside Republican tour bus look suspiciously like people who identify as democrats on social media. ... and Lincoln Project appears to take credit, saying "“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...”

    This of course begs the question from anyone with a critical mind- how many other 'demonstrations' in the past have been dems dressed up as WS's?

    I wonder how many dems pretend to be WS vs. how many republicans actually are WS?

    Notice how the article says "pretend" because the first requirement to be a WS is to not be a democrat.

    Yea that was my thought. But apparently at least three people from the torch picture have been correctly identified and they are members of local Democrat organizations who have since gone dark on social media. Funny enough that part is left out of the coverage on the mainstream side, that only focuses on the fact that it was the RINO group The Lincoln Project that hatched the idea and funded it - even though they tapped into Democrat groups to staff it.

    You do know that listening to “infowars” is bad for your health right?

    But let us drill down on “look suspiciously like people identify as Democrats”

    Describe that please - what does a “democrat” look like?



    Trae Crowder nails it about the claim “did we just decide to go on a meat diet and gain 40 pounds get some eagle tattoos drive around in a pick up truck just so they can make y’all look stupid?”

    Precious!

    You also note this was not actually AT Charlottesville itself but a dress up reminder of Charlottesville

    The hoax happened in Charlottesville at a Youngkin campaign stop.

    Think you forgot about Robert Bryd....what was his party again? Oh right. The Democratic Party.

    Now comes the part where you say "but he apologized". Problem with that is that it doesn't matter. At least according to the "woke crowd". According to them....once a racist, always a racist. And they all need cancelled and ostracized for life and denounced even centuries of them being dead.

    Apparently there's some overlap. How much exactly we can only guess.

    Some of the individuals dressed up as WS's look like people known to be local democrats. Apparently another poster has articles confirming their identities.

    ...but then you already knew that, didn't you.

    Not even the least bit shocked. Nothing surprises me anymore when it comes to the Dems. What a pathetic way to advertise for the Democratic campaign. Just….. wow.

    Hat is so bad about reminding a large group who are NOT white supremacists that Younkin has yet to denounce an infamous WS rally

    Ain't it informative that the Democrats turn an incident between TWO groups of OUT OT TOWN extremists clashing over a purely LOCAL issue into an epic struggle between good and evil.....JUST one of the myriad reasons I'd vote for a painted rock over a Democrat.

    So Democrat dressing up to remind people of Charlottesville is bad but the original incident was good - is that right?

    They didn’t dress up to “remind” people. They dressed up because they wanted people to believe it was Charlottesville 2.0. You people are fooling nobody.

    Which is pretty much EXACTLY what you've done in fact for the past few decades.

    Why should he? Youngkin wasn't even in politics at the time that the Charlottesville riot happened. Indeed he was just named as a co-CEO of the Carlyle Group in 2017. He has no reason to even talk about it as it is not relevant to what is happening today. Hell, he doesn't even live in Charlottesville. The only reason for berating him about this is to smear him.

    "“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...”"

    yes, that shows what it was, it was to remind you of the ugly in the Republican Party, don't you agree that what happened back then was disgusting and we all should never forget? those were NOT fine people

    because they are, as the ops own link points out, they are reminding people what happened, not trying to trick anyone, they already told you who they are and why they are doing it, what was sick is that republican really did this back then and a president said fine people
