The conspiracy theories and all-around lunacy never end with Donald Trump, in this case his statement (see below) yet *again* praising 2021 VA GOP gubernatorial nominee Glenn Trumpkin…er, Youngkin, and also dissing 2017 VA GOP gubernatorial nominee Ed Gillespie for not “embracing” (in quotes for some reason) Trump or the “America First movement” sufficiently. Oh, and as an added bonus, Trump is strongly – and falsely – implying that if Youngkin loses to Terry McAuliffe, then it’s probably the “‘vote counters’ in Virginia, who Trump falsely claims “can be far more important than the candidate!” Dangerous, lunatic ravings…that, horrifyingly, most of the Republican Party has swallowed hook/line/sinker. Scary times…
Donald Trump, a failed and unpopular one-term President, just can't accept the fact that the people of Virginia rejected him TWICE. So he's back to his 2020 election LIES.
Donald, are you brave enough to come to Virginia to campaign for Glenn? Third time's a charm. pic.twitter.com/5BOrwLm8YH

Trump did @GlennYoungkin another favor. In case the votes on election night don't show Glenn winning, Trump says, watch the "vote counters". Virginia's Governor contest could turn out just like what Trump calls the "2020 Presidential Election Scam". (Break glass in case of loss.)

Trump seems to want to push Youngkin into becoming a Trumpkin. He doesn't seem to realize that he's radioactive in Virginia. This should be viewed as an in-kind contribution to McAuliffe, who's been trying to tie Youngkin to Trump from the beginning. pic.twitter.com/ppIcv7SE3p

Hard to think of much Trump could do to make Youngkin's life harder than push Virginia-specific election conspiracies https://t.co/Ipl6Z8JRwd

Trump is now extending the Big Lie of voter fraud to Virginia, where President Biden won by 500,000 votes (10% of the vote). And he's again thrusting himself into a race that Republican @GlennYoungkin probably doesn't need him in, given the importance of the NoVa vote… https://t.co/2p5GJX3HFx
