Help Now – Flip Virginia Red!With polls showing Terry McAuliffe and Glenn Youngkin in a dead heat, the Democratic nominee is pulling out all the stops.
Even those that are decidedly controversial.
Former Gov. Terry McAuliffe has spent nearly $100,000 advertising “fake news” websites on Facebook during the Virginia gubernatorial campaign, Fox News can reveal.
The Democrat's advertisements, which have been viewed up to 3.5 million times so far, are hidden on a Facebook page with a similar name to a local news website. The ads link to third-party websites that ostensibly publish local news, but exist to promote Democratic candidates. The websites have been widely described as disinformation and “partisan propaganda.”
The revelation comes less than a week before election day, and as the candidates fight for every last vote, with polls showing McAuliffe and rival Republican Glenn Youngkin locked in a tight battle.
Besides having his own Facebook page, the McAuliffe campaign manages a page called “The Download Virginia.” Although it only has 67 Likes, millions of people have seen it's targeted advertisements. The Wall Street Journal reports that the advertisements promote content from websites funded by left-wing super PACs.
The McAuliffe campaign has spent a total of between $90,200 to $106,398 on advertisements linking to the Independent and the Dogwood. Those advertisements have garnered the campaign a total of between 3,290,000 and 3,470,000 “impressions,” a term that Facebook uses to describe the number of screens that an advertisement has reached.
By disguising themselves as local news, the apparent hope is that they'll shift the narrative enough to ensure a McAuliffe victory on Election Day.
So, who do you think will prevail in Virginia's governor's race? Let us know in the comments below and while you're at it spread the word!

Glenn Youngkin will kick McAuliffes a$$.
No surprise here, the liberal democrats are always looking for ways to bend the system. Cheating to the left wing stooges comes as natural as breathing to normal people. Unless purged from our government they will destroy our constitutional republic.
After last November when Joe Biden went on television and stated that America NEVER lived up to its promises and he still won, it’s apparent that there’s been a mental shift in this country. Gone are the days of “ask not what your country can do for you”. We have become a country of gimme, gimme, gimme! Unfortunately like the old USSR, Cuba and Venezuela, I fear that we are going to have to learn the hard way that Communism still doesn’t work. The race in Virginia should be a Youngkin run away. That it isn’t says that way to many people buy into the Democrats “I’m a victim” garbage. Hard to fight that.
Let’s go Brandon!!!!!
