Former President Donald Trump waded into the Virginia melee over voter rolls on Friday. In a post on X, he accused President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris — his opponent in the presidential contest — of weaponizing the Department of Justice.
“Now, their truly Weaponized Department of ‘Injustice,’ and a Judge (appointed by Joe), have ORDERED the Great Commonwealth of Virginia to PUT NON-CITIZEN VOTERS BACK ON THE ROLLS. This is a totally unacceptable travesty, and Governor Youngkin is absolutely right to appeal this ILLEGAL ORDER, and the U.S. Supreme Court will hopefully fix it!” he said in the post.
Trump has also announced that his final campaign stop in Virginia will take place in Salem on Nov. 2.
The Democratic Party of Virginia shot back and called the rally announcement “reactionary.”
“Donald Trump knows he can’t win Virginia, so he is trying to exploit Glenn Youngkin’s illegal voter purge to satisfy his own sick obsessions. Kamala Harris will win Virginia convincingly, as he knows, and any visit from this deranged lunatic will only widen the margin,” Susan Swecker, chair of the Democratic Party of Virginia, said in a statement on Friday.
