YOU CAN NOT COMPLY YOUR WAY OUT OF TYRANNY

Virginia Democratic gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe rolled out an ad on Tuesday invoking his response as governor to the 2017 far-right riots in Charlottesville, Va. in his latest effort to tie his GOP opponent Glenn Youngkin to former President Trump.
The 60-second ad begins with Trump in 2017 saying there were "very fine people on both sides" of the riots before pivoting to a clip of Youngkin saying he was "honored" to have Trump's endorsement. A clip of McAuliffe's response to the riots is then shown.
"I have a message to all the white supremacists and the Nazis that came into Charlottesville today, go home. You are not wanted in this great Commonwealth," the-then governor said.
White supremacists gathered in Charlottesville for a "Unite the Right" rally. The rally turned violent as clashes broke out between white nationalists and counter protesters. During the violence, a car plowed into a group of counter protesters, killing a 32-year-old woman.
The ad marks McAuliffe's latest attempt to tie Youngkin to Trump. McAuliffe's campaign has hit Youngkin over a "Take Back Virginia" rally, where Youngkin was not present. The rally, in which Trump briefly called in, featured attendees pledging allegiance to an American flag that was flown at the Jan. 6 riots at the Capitol. The event has since drawn widespread criticism.
Youngkin condemned the action of pledging allegiance to the flag, which was flown on Jan. 6, calling the action "weird and wrong" in a statement last week.
However, McAuliffe's campaign has continued to tie the Republican gubernatorial nominee to Trump and his role in the Jan. 6 riots. While Trump has endorsed Youngkin, the two have not campaigned together.
Meanwhile, Youngkin has continued to go on the offensive against McAuliffe, zeroing on comments made during a debate last month in which McAuliffe said he did not believe parents should tell schools what they should teach students.
Polls show a tight race between McAuliffe and Youngkin two weeks out from Election Day. A Fox News poll released last week showed McAuliffe with 51 percent support from likely voters, while Youngkin had 46 percent support. The nonpartisan Cook Political Report rates the race as a "toss-up."
The left instigated and created Charlottesville and January 6th to use as a bludgeon in an effort to rally their communist base.
My how pathetic these people really are.
I thought he missed the deadline to file for the election...
Youngkin should roll out ads linking McAwful to Castro and Maduro.
That’s a more apt comparison, Democrats and Commies.
I hope Youngkin is tied to Trump. Maybe the Democrat is doing him a favor..
Yup. It sure looks like flop sweat.
Kinda what I was thinking....its a good thing in my mind
Is McAwfull having a rough time. Aw, I feel his pain.
/Naught
I don’t think the purpose is to win the most votes. The dems just want to get the voting close enough that it doesn’t look like an absolute steal when they cheat and give the win to their candidate.
Nah. He knows there will be that 40,000 votes at 4 AM from VA Beach like always.
But he accepts ‘blackface’ Northam’s endorsement. Got it...
The Demon Rats will steal the election
One of the PAC groups should run an ad with the second part of that clip and end it with McAullif lies to you again.
Trump didn’t say there were good people on both sides of the riot, If you read the whole transcript Trump condemned the rioters and was referring to those who wanted to keep the monuments and those who anted them taken down. All the press does is lie. They lie to damage Trump and lie to protect sleepy Joe.
Cos Play
Where are these so call White Supremacists “ With torches in their hands and veins bulging from their necks, they spewed the same antisemitic bile that was heard in Germany in the 1930s and with the same beatings and bigotry we saw in Jim Crow America for nearly a century” -Biden 8/12/21
Four years and no demonstrations? Proves it’s fake.
McCauliffe milked every second of media attention he could over Charlottesville and the Baseball shootout. If anything he flamed the fires in both cases by hog tying the police.
I wonder if the McAullif campaign is getting really bad polling numbers? Their strategy seems so extreme. They’re getting everyone they can to gin up support. Sadly though, because of northern VA, my fine commonwealth will likely go blue once again.
Yes, bad for him because right now it's probably close to a 2 point race.
