Group claims credit for Hoax, VA Dems posed as Youngkin supporters carrying tiki torches

This morning Elizabeth Holmes of NBC News reported a group carrying Tiki Torches appeared in front of a Glenn Youngkin bus and said “We’re all in for Glenn.”

These men approached @GlennYoungkin’s bus as it pulled up saying what sounded like, “We’re all in for Glenn.” Here they are standing in front of the bus as his campaign event at Guadalajara started.@NBC29 pic.twitter.com/l681ejyBjc

It didn’t take long for the stunt to be debunked as internet sleuths quickly identified the hoaxers as Virginia Democrats.

One of them is the financial director for the Virginia Young Democrats… and since being outed as such, has made his Twitter private.

Incredibly, Jen Goodman of the Terry McAuliffe campaign called the fake stunt “disgusting and disqualifying.”

Now the Lincoln Project has come forward to claim credit for the “White Supremacist” stunt.

Glenn Greenwald wrote ‘That the Lincoln Project “admitted” to perpetrating this racist fraud means that it was engineered by Democrats and operatives for the Democratic Party, but everything they say is suspect. It’s possible they’re taking the blame for someone else, but either way, it’s a huge fraud.’

A note to fact checkers: Quoting a press release from The Lincoln Project is *not* a fact check, nor is it journalism. There is no proof that the Lincoln Project was responsible for the #TikiGate hoax. Other than their press release, which could be a lie.
