REMINDER: On March 27, @RyanMcDougle & @delterrykilgore called for a gas tax holiday to deliver immediate relief to hard-working Virginians.

Democrats refused then. They have another chance to deliver during the upcoming special session. They ran on “affordability.” Now it’s time to deliver.

On Memorial Day, we remember the sacrifice of those who laid down their lives in service of our nation.

We also remember that this is the land of the free because of the brave, and we recommit to honoring their legacy by serving all who have worn the uniform and their families.

“Del. Helmer is attacking the judiciary for following the constitution after they rejected the lobster-shaped district specifically drawn for him. This is a direct assault on an independent, co-equal branch of government.” — @RyanMcDougle

The Supreme Court of the United States has affirmed what we always knew: you cannot violate the Constitution to change the Constitution.

🚨@RyanMcDougle: “After getting slammed by Republicans for the spineless attempt to dodge the fallout and dump the consequences on the next Administration, the Governor has finally vetoed the collective bargaining bill.

“This is a massive victory for Virginians. Even Democrats were screaming from the rooftops that this would’ve delivered the single largest tax increase in Virginia history.”

It's been 58 days since Abigail Spanberger and Virginia Democrats failed to pass a budget for Virginia.

While they spent all their time on tax hikes and an illegal gerrymandering power grab, the work of the people remained unfinished.

[Ryan McDougle @RyanMcDougle]

This is a brazen assault on our democracy. In our nations 250th Anniversary, Democrats knowingly violate the Constitution, ram through deceptive ballot language to deceive and divide voters, then demand the Court not rule until after the vote. These hypocrites now pretend to defend democracy by removing lawfully appointed Supreme Court Justices because they blocked their illegal rewrite of the Constitution. They lie to Virginians while torching our checks and balances — all because their temporary majority hates the President. Our Founders are rolling in their graves.

You should probably be transparent about asking the court to rule after the vote. Trust in institutions is not helped by your lying about this.

[Glenn Youngkin @GlennYoungkin]

Here’s the deal: Abigail Spanberger, Don Scott, Louise Lucas and all their friends knowingly violated the Virginia Constitution.

They purposefully violated clear constitutional procedures to deceive voters, capping off their master deception with ballot language meant to confuse everyone.

They strongly argued for the VA Supreme Court to “wait” until after the referendum so their flood of money from national democrats could fund their brazen dishonesty and trick voters to “restore fairness”, and then claim “the will of the people” when the VA Supreme Court would undoubtedly strike down their unconstitutional attempt to disenfranchise millions of Virginians.

It’s a disgusting disregard for Virginians, the Constitution and a flagrant violation of their oath of office.

Whether it’s gerrymandering or raising power bills and adding new taxes, Democrats are breaking all their premises to voters.

@RyanMcDougle:

.@RyanMcDougle lays it out clear as day: Democrats’ new payroll tax STILL means workers take home less.

The only sensible solution is rejecting this tax increase altogether and ending Democrats’ affordability hoax.
