Oh yeah, I forgot about this. What a trip.
For a refresher, The Lincoln Project had a few of their staffers show up at a conservative candidate’s rally pretending to be far-right chodes.
Bluechecks “organically” noticed it, and started expressing their “legitimate” worry that this conservative must be far-right and dangerous and all that if he’s appealing to tiki-torch wielders.
Then the autists rolled in, and started identifying the people in the photos, noting that they were mostly DNC staffers of one kind or another.
Story gets dropped, the staffers identified locked and deleted their social media accounts, and later a story comes out saying it was all a big misunderstanding, which, it may have been.
@dave > WHEN LAUREN WINDSOR, a Democratic operative working with the Lincoln Project, sent five young people dressed in khakis, white shirts, and sunglasses to hold tiki torches in front of Glenn Youngkin’s campaign bus as it docked in Charlottesville, Virginia, on Friday, she never considered that people might think they were actual white supremacists.
if that's not complete bullshit she has no business being in politics
