On economic, immigration, taxation, or infrastructure plans? Nope: McAuliffe called Youngkin a "Big Lie believing" election conspiracy theorist.
Terry McAuliffe May 11, 2021 He'd used the attack before, when in February Youngkin rolled out his proposed Election Integrity Task Force.
"Please explain in detail your plan to ensure we have election integrity in Virginia," the moderator read, "And in particular, if Dominion voting systems and machines are used on Nov. 3, 2021, will you immediately pursue an independent audit of the results when you are sworn in as governor?" The question referred to nationally recognized - and angrily contested - questions on the integrity of 2020 election in states like Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Michigan, specifically referencing accusations of rigged Dominion voting machines, which were never proven true.
New York Times reporter Trip Gabriel was watching, and live-tweeted the evening's back-and forths, including Youngkin's answer, writing: Ok, so first q for GOP candidates is about what you'll do if Dominion voting machines are used in November general election.
"One candidate brands himself a 'conservative outlaw,'" Gabriel began the piece, titled "Virginia G.O.P.'s Choices for Governor: 'Trumpy, Trumpier, Trumpiest.'" Youngkin, it continued, "Asked about Dominion voting machines - the subject of egregious conspiracy theories on the right - called them 'the most important issue' of the campaign." And he wasn't finished.
At the recent candidates' forum, Mr. Youngkin aligned himself with Mr. Trump's lies about a rigged 2020 election, declaring 'voter integrity' a top issue and referring to Dominion voting machines - the subject of conspiracy theories on the far right - as 'the most important issue' of the campaign.
Although Mr. Youngkin is expected to pivot to reach independent voters, Democrats are sure to remind them in the fall of his most Trumpy declarations from the nominating race It's the kind of editorializing that might make sense for the bloggers at BlueVirginia.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
