The following tweets are from Fairfax County Democratic Committee (FCDC) Chair, Bryan Graham, about Fairfax Republicans “straight-up attempting to intimidate voters…Circling the parking lots with their Trump flags and horns blaring,” to the point that “the line at the Fairfax County Government Center early voting got moved inside to get it away” from them. Also, see below for some video of the Republicans’ rally (no masks or social distancing, of course) prior to driving over to the Government Center, during which they vowed to “drive to the Fairfax County Government Center…where there are people voting early, and we’re going to…tell them who they should go and vote for…get your horns ready.” Yes, this is what we’re up against this election, and unfortunately, it’s likely to only get worse as we get closer to 11/3.
P.S. As Sen. Scott Surovell (D-Fairfax) just tweeted, this is “An ominous foreshadowing of what’s to come in America in Fairfax County today – Diehard Trump supporters taunting and hazing Americans trying to exercise their constitutional rights and democratically select their leaders – Fascist authoritarianism at its finest.”
A group of Trump campaign volunteers and supporters are in front of the Fairfax County Government Center where early voting is happening now.
I spoke with a number of supporters who praised the president’s leadership, but none that I spoke to were planning to early vote. @MSNBC pic.twitter.com/Xfep718M4N
