Youngkin flyer promoting the Trump endorsement

It has all these quotes from Trump. Then shows a picture of Trump and Youngkin together wearing red hats (MAGA for Trump and Youngkin for Youngkin). Chicken shit does not want to stand on the stage with Trump yet sending out these flyers. 🙄

****It was a flyer in the mail. I think it is for my husband (although he has the same name as my son). Either way they are wasting their money on us. Straight Dem family..

Dem Mailer Touts Trump’s Endorsement Of Youngkin

October 28, 2021

Politico Playbook reports:

A Virginia tipster sent us this mailer they received that includes an endorsement of Youngkin from Donald Trump and has a MAGA-inspired design. But on closer inspection, the piece was actually paid for and sent by the state Democratic Party. Clever! Recent polls have the high-stakes race between McAuliffe and Youngkin as a neck-and-neck contest — and that means it could take days to determine the winner.

With early voting underway for the Virginia election, WaPo’s Meagan Flynn and Shawn Boburg write that poll watchers have been at locations “every day, all day long, watching the process of what’s going on,” according to Loudoun County General Registrar Judy Brown. “And in a county that has been trending blue for years, more poll watchers are wearing Republican badges, Brown said, often outnumbering Democrats 2 to 1 at each location.”

I like how the Washington Post tries to make it look to the inattentive reader that Republicans are at the polls outnumbering Democrats by 2 to 1. Those are the poll watchers, not actual voters.

We got that mailer today. My husband was shocked that Youngkin seemed to be openly embracing Trump. I immediately asked him if he was sure it wasn’t sent out by the Democratic Party. Turns out I’m right. I love how they make Youngkin look like Gomer Pyle. Brilliant.
