Shot/Chaser: As Capitol Police Officers Testify On January 6th Insurrection, Glenn Youngkin Books Appearance at ‘Election Integrity’ Rally

SHOT: Capitol police officers testifying before Congress “provided a set of gripping first-person narratives that brought home the harrowing events of Jan. 6, when Mr. Trump’s supporters, urged on by his lie of a stolen election, stormed the Capitol.” [New York Times, 7/27/21]

CHASER: “Youngkin and the rest of the GOP’s statewide ticket are scheduled to headline an Aug. 7 banquet on the closing night of a rally at Liberty University organized by a regional GOP chairman who was outside the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6 insurrection.” [POLITICO, 7/27/21]

Democratic nominee Terry McAuliffe has already called on Youngkin to withdraw from the rally and “disavow this dangerous, deadly conspiracy theory once and for all.”
