Democratic dark money kingpin David Brock is using his “pseudo-news outlet” to send Virginia voters unsolicited mailers that falsely attack Republican gubernatorial nominee Glenn Youngkin.
Brock in September bombarded voters in the state’s northern suburbs with an unsolicited “Virginia edition” of his liberal media outlet, The American Independent, photos obtained by the Washington Free Beacon show. The 11-page mailer—which is designed to look like a local newspaper—includes misleading content that echoes Democratic gubernatorial hopeful Terry McAuliffe’s campaign messaging.
One page, for example, falsely says Youngkin’s plan to “eliminate the state’s income tax” would cut funding for public schools. Just days before Brock sent the mailer, McAuliffe made the same false claim during a debate against the Republican nominee.
McAuliffe’s campaign followed up with a press release, which said Youngkin’s “plan to eliminate the state income tax would usher in massive cuts to funding for Virginia’s schools.” Brock Called “misinformation” an “existential threat to democracy” in a 2016 interview with former CBS News anchor Dan Rather, whose career ended after he used fake documents to claim then-candidate George W. Bush went AWOL while serving in the Texas National Guard.
