Richmond, VA –– Last night, Donald Trump joined a rally for Glenn Youngkin to voice his total support for Youngkin and his right wing agenda. Trump has made clear that his top priority for the country is advancing his dangerous election conspiracies. Trump has promised that Glenn Youngkin will implement his agenda here in Virginia, and Glenn Youngkin has made clear Trump's agenda is his top priority.
This GOP rally also featured the darkest moment in Glenn Youngkin’s entire campaign: a pledge of allegiance to the Jan. 6th insurrection. This Trumpian extremism belongs nowhere near the governorship –– and Virginia Democrats will not let Youngkin and Trump take control of our commonwealth.
