This evening, the with just a few hours to go until polls open for the 2022 midterm elections, VA02 Republican nominee Jen Kiggans is holding a rally with House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy, who of course is REALLY bad, and someone even worse than that – namely, Newt F’ing Gingrich. Wait, you ask, what’s so bad about Newt F’ing Gingrich? How about the following:
- “Gingrich supported Donald Trump more quickly than many other establishment Republicans.[220] After having consulted for Trump’s 2016 campaign, Gingrich encouraged his fellow Republicans to unify behind Trump, who had by then become the presumptive Republican presidential nominee.[221] Gingrich reportedly figured among Trump’s final three choices to be his running mate“
- “In May 2017, he promoted a conspiracy theory that Hillary Clinton and the Democratic Party had Seth Rich, an employee for the Democratic National Committee, killed during the 2016 presidential race.”
- “While ballots were being counted during the 2020 election, Gingrich supported President Trump in his attempt to win re-election and called on him to stop the vote counts after unsubstantiated allegations of fraud emerged.[230] After the 2020 election, Gingrich made false claims of election fraud and refused to acknowledge Joe Biden‘s victory.[231][232] He called for the arrest of poll workers in Pennsylvania following the election.”
- “In January 2022, Gingrich told Fox News presenter Maria Bartiromo that members of the House Select Committee investigating the January 6 attack on the Capitol faced a real risk of jail after Republicans take over Congress, accusing them of breaking laws without explaining which laws were broken”; “In January 2022, Gingrich characterized the House Select Committee on the January 6 Attack as “basically a lynch mob” that was violating laws and trampling on civil liberties”
- “On July 21, 2016, Gingrich argued that members of NATO “ought to worry” about a U.S. commitment to their defense. “
- “On July 14, 2016, Gingrich stated that he believes that Americans of Muslim backgrounds who believe in Sharia law should be deported”

So yeah, that’s who Jen Kiggans is campaigning with the night before the election. Any further questions about why you should absolutely NOT support Kiggans and why it’s so important to reelect Rep. Elaine Luria?!?
