Earlier today in Alexandria, two former Republican members of Congress – Barbara Comstock (R-VA10) and Denver Riggleman (R-VA05) – were joined by former Trump administration national security official Olivia Troye for a Republicans for Harris early voting event to (quoting the Harris-Walz campaign) “highlight the stakes of the election for Virginians, including for Republicans who are rejecting the extremism of Donald Trump and his Project 2025 agenda.” As the Harris-Walz press release stated:
“The speakers will underscore for their fellow Republicans how the Harris-Walz campaign has a place for everyone, as Vice President Harris continues to stand up for our freedoms and the rule of law, while Donald Trump is running on a dangerous Project 2025 agenda that threatens our democratic system and Virginians’ personal freedoms.
Early voting in Virginia began on Friday, September 20 and runs through November 2. Early voting is available Monday through Friday and on Saturday, October 26 and November 2. The deadline to register online or by mail is October 15. You can register and cast a ballot anytime during early voting and on Election Day. Virginians can also vote by mail by requesting an absentee ballot online, by mail, or in person today. Absentee ballots must be returned in person or postmarked by Election Day. Virginians should visit IWillVote.com for more information.”
So with that, check out the video, as well as a few highlights, with Troye, Comstock and Riggleman putting love for their country and our democracy over partisanship, let alone loyalty to Donald Trump. Thank you to these three Republicans, allies in the fight to preserve and defend our democracy against the mortal threat posed by MAGA, Donald Trump, and the far right in this country…
Thanks to Denver Riggleman, Barbara Comstock and Olivia Troye for standing up for our democracy!
Great to see that “@OliviaTroye @BarbaraComstock and @RepRiggleman are talking to Virginians about putting country over party”
Interestingly, Aaron Fritschner was Jennifer Wexton’s Communications Director in the 2018 campaign that defeated…yep, then-Rep. Barbara Comstock (R-VA10), who’s now an ally in the fight to protect our democracy!
Yes, and also those dictators – particularly Putin – appear to have Trump by the cojones…whether because of $$$ or “kompromat” or whatever.
Bingo: “Comstock says she doesn’t agree with Harris on everything but believes Harris is a leader who will protect democracy”; “Comstock recalling how character mattered to earlier generations, blasting Trump for still not accepting that he lost the 2020 election” – Michael O’Connor
