The largely anti gun media warned about white supremacists & violence at the Virginia Gun Rally in Richmond. I ask attendee's what they think of the medias coverage.
Man with "We Will Not Comply" sign says the media was using a straw man to ban guns from the rally

These armed domestic terrorists, these insecure wusses with large guns, these white supremacist bottom feeders, these 2nd Amendment fetishists who can't get laid, these fucking losers marching in this #VirginiaRally in Richmond, are the best argument yet for stricter gun control.

An awesome blog about #VirginiaRally!
"There were people of all races, sexes, creeds, ability … And yes, there were many, many, many firearms at the rally, but I will tell you honestly, I have rarely felt safer than I did this morning. Looking through the crowd was absolutely overwhelming, in a good way."
"Oh yeah, the women! Surely you’ve seen every Tom, Dick, and Harry on the Left claiming this was a very MANLY event for MANLY men with MANLY guns … but there were plenty of women there as well. And most of them were carrying signs about how gun rights are women’s rights."
Back in 2016 TN Sen. @MarshaBlackburn was selected as one of only 4 members of Congress to serve as co-chair of Trump's transition team along with the likes of Michael Flynn, Rebekah Mercer & Newt Gingrich.

What did @MarshaBlackburn do to earn such close proximity to the President-elect?
Did Transition look the other way while its closely allied org, the Trump Inaugural Committee, took bribes from Russia-friendly Ukrainians?

This is important, of course, in light of the fact that Blackburn's 10+ year campaign org chair Kline Preston kept ties to close Putin ally Alexander Torshin as late as 2018. Preston also had ties to Ukraine starting in the 1990s.

After the bombings, many of the officers of my church and other trusted friends urged me to hire a bodyguard and armed watchmen for my house. When my father came to town, he concurred with both of these suggestions.
I tried to tell them that I had no fears now and consequently needed no weapons for protection. This they would not hear. They insisted that I protect the house and family, even if I didn't want to protect myself.
Good morning. Here in Richmond for @townhallcom to cover the gun rights rally outside the statehouse. Lots of people are choosing to stay outside of the security zone.
In addition to quite a few people being armed with rifles in Richmond, there's also quite a few Gov. Northam yearbook pictures on signs.
Wow, look at all these "white nationalists." cc: @oneunderscore__
1/ A violent extremist who has been recruiting members to join cells of extremists within the U.S. to commit acts of terror was recently arrested after illegally crossing the border.
Perfect Fox story, right?

2/ Meet Patrik Mathews. He was recently discharged from the Canadian military for ties to violent white nationalists, and he is apparently so prepared for a race war that he's willing to start one himself.
Like many terrorists before him, he entered the US illegally from Canada.

3/ The stories above were both from this weekend, noting arrests Thurs of Base members in connection w/security concerns around tomorrow's #VirginiaRally.
Surely Fox must have taken the opportunity that day to warn of this terrorist's violation of our sovereignty?
Again, no.

@ZellaQuixote The first use of #Virginia2A appears to be a Nov 9 reply from @guzperez2020 to @Lrihendry. (We omitted earlier off-topic uses of #VirginiaRally from this analysis.) One of the early adopters (@DcDied320) has a🐻emoji in their name, which we've seen before. . .
@ZellaQuixote @Lrihendry @Dcdied320 The 🐻 emoji is used by supporters of alt-right comedian/livestreamer Owen Benjamin, known as "bears" or "unbearables." A total of 20 of the accounts using #Virginia2A/#VirginiaRally have this emoji in their profile.
