Virginia AG nominee took $2.6 million from group that promoted Jan. 6 rally
By Nick Vachon -October 28, 2021 1:45 PM
Virginia Del. Jason Miyares has refused to say if he would have supported the attempt to overturn the 2020 presidential election.
Virginia Del. Jason Miyares, the Republican nominee for state attorney general, has taken $2.6 million from the Republican Attorneys General Association, making the group Miyares' largest contributor by far.
The Republican Attorneys General Association has promoted the false claim that the presidential election was "stolen" from Donald Trump in 2020. Democrats in Virginia have accused the group of encouraging the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol that left five people dead and hundreds injured.
In January 2021, the group's policy wing, the Rule of Law Defense Fund, sent out a robocall encouraging "patriots" to "stop the steal" and "fight to protect the integrity of our elections" by rallying outside the U.S. Capitol.
