#TikiGate is trending on Twitter after Democrats were busted posing as “white supremacists” holding Tiki Torches that supposedly supported Republican Glenn Youngkin.
Elizabeth Holmes of NBC reported the stunt that was perpetrated by Democrats carrying Tiki torches, and appeared to take it at face value.
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

Not long after, several Twitter users identified those posing as Youngkin supporters as Virginia Democrats.
Jen Goodman, who works for the McAuliffe campaign, in a now deleted tweet, apparently took the hoax at face value, calling it “disgusting and disqualifying.”
Project Lincoln has taken credit for the stunt.
Terry McAuliffe’s campaign has now condemned the stunt in a statement, saying “What happened today is disgusting and distasteful and we condemn it in the strongest terms. Those involved should immediately apologize.”
@TerryMcAuliffe‘s campaign condemned the stunt. “What happened today is disgusting and distasteful and we condemn it in the strongest terms. Those involved should immediately apologize,” Terry for Virginia Campaign Manager Chris Bolling told me.

Wait, so Terry McAuliffe had @vademocrats staffers pose as white supremacist Youngkin supporters with Tiki torches, and now they’re all protecting their tweets because they got exposed?

Is the Lincoln Project admitting they ran a false flag op in Virginia today? #TikiGate https://t.co/IPzUZXGROh

It took the Lincoln Project all afternoon to claim credit for the #TikiGate hoax?
Suuuuure.

If The Lincoln Project is responsible for today’s #TikiGate hoax, and I do not believe that for a minute, then they would have to be banned for election-related disinformation, which was shared by members of the corporate press and Democrats in Congress like Eric Swalwell.

When Democrat operatives are caught dressing up as white supremacists because their candidate is down in the polls…#TikiGate pic.twitter.com/QRg4yqe8Cc

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.

This gross false-flag operation reeks of desperation from the McAuliffe camp who is currently trailing Youngkin by 8 points.
A confident campaign would never resort to such gross measures.

#Tikigate may be the greatest self own in American politics since Gary Hart challenged the New York Times to follow him around. https://t.co/AKDtPD6mir pic.twitter.com/fJum6qZvjA
