A top deputy overseeing election issues for Virginia’s new Republican attorney general resigned Thursday after The Washington Post questioned the office about Facebook posts she had made praising Jan. 6, 2021, rioters and falsely claiming Donald Trump won the 2020 election.

Former deputy attorney general Monique Miles also espoused unfounded conspiracy theories about voter fraud and election interference in more than a dozen Facebook comments that spanned months. Four people who interacted with Miles on Facebook confirmed the authenticity of the posts.

Victoria LaCivita, a spokeswoman for Attorney General Jason Miyares, said the office had been unaware of the Facebook posts before The Washington Post, which obtained screenshots of the posts, shared them on Thursday morning.

“This information was unknown to the Office of the Attorney General prior to this morning,” LaCivita said in a statement. “Ms. Miles has resigned from her position at the Office of the Attorney General.”

1. Um, the AG is independently voted for; nothing to do with Youngkin.

4. I just surprised how many of these thugs seem to think that a huge following of Americans ...

follow them, that the 'sleeping giant' has awoken' (when in reality, IMHO, the reverse is actually true, that when the riot/disruption occurred on 1/6/21, we were/the Country was totally shocked that such a thing happened).

I guess now we all have a very healthy skepticism of anything now that rump says or does, being that he's just a flat-out liar and scumbag, that he feels that the rule of law doesn't apply to him (and a lot of his fellow cohorts in office felt this way too).

Nail them.
