Lincoln Project organized a group to carry torches at Youngkin event in Charlottesville

The occasion — a reference to the 2017 Unite the Proper rally, when lots of of white supremacists descended on the town with tiki torches — was organized by the group, which opposes Youngkin, as a “method of reminding Virginians what occurred in Charlottesville 4 years in the past, the Republican Social gathering’s embrace of these values, and Glenn Youngkin’s failure to sentence it,” it mentioned in a press release late Friday, after observers have been left pondering for hours who was behind the stunt.
