Support for the Jan. 6 coup attempt is now an entry requirement for republican would-be office holders.
Youngkin supporters pledge allegiance to the insurrection at GOP Virginia rally
Where to begin with the Take Back Virginia Rally held in Glen Allen, Virginia, last night? How about, well, the beginning, when emcee Martha Boneta introduced a flag used at the violent Jan. 6 insurrection that resulted in at least 140 Capitol Police officers being injured, which she categorized as a “peaceful rally with Donald J. Trump”?
The flag came from “Kim from Chesapeake,” and was used for supporters of Republican governor candidate Glenn Youngkin to recite the Pledge of Allegiance as led by Virginia Tea Party bigwig Mark Kevin Lloyd, who’s known for his misogynistic and xenophobic beliefs.
As Meidas Touch notes, there is historical precedent for such a shocking pledge.
"This ritual at last night’s Youngkin event mimics the Nazi ‘Blutfahne’ ceremonies, in which the Nazis celebrated a blood soaked flag taken from a failed coup attempt known as the Beer Hall Putsch.
The similarities are striking and chilling."
