t’ or some other indication that no one was fooled into thinking they were real neo-nazis.

The group of five people stood outside Youngkin’s campaign bus during an event in Charlottesville, site of the deadly “Unite the Right” rally in August 2017. In one of the defining images of that event, rally organizer Jason Kessler led a tiki torch-wielding mob on a march through the grounds of the University of Virginia in an attempt to echo Nazi torchlight parades.

Friday’s group — which included an African-American man — were wearing white buttoned-down shirts and khakis, the outfit worn by some of the white nationalists who attended the rally.

“We’re all in for Glenn,” members of the group said, according to an NBC 29 reporter.

Members of McAuliffe’s campaign team were quick to draw attention to the stunt on Twitter and frame Youngkin’s supporters as white nationalists. Communications staffer Jen Goodman tweeted that the gathering was “disgusting and disqualifying.”

Only when this fell apart did the Lincoln Project speak up.
“[T]his is who Glenn Youngkin’s supporters are,” agreed Christina Freundlich, who was last seen looping in a Fox News reporter on an email asking her colleagues to “kill” an unflattering story about the McAuliffe campaign.

Youngkin himself suggested that his Democratic opponent was behind the demonstration, telling NBC29: “I think they work for Terry McAuliffe, and I’m sure he sent them.”

“They’ll do anything to win, and he’s doing anything to win, and so he’s paying people to show up and act silly at our rallies,” Youngkin added.

As Twitter sleuths sought to identify the individuals who took part in the bizarre protest, the McAuliffe campaign disavowed the activity.

The point was delivered, so goobs could replay it over the interwebs.

Which you did!
