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.

Monique Miles called the revelation of the Facebook posts "character assassination" and wrote that "some liberals have their daggers out for black conservative females.” She said now believes "Biden is our president" and the posts were taken out of context.

I hate it when people try to make me look bad by quoting me.

She'll cry all the way to the bank.

7. Projection as usual.

'In response to someone who commented on the post, Miles wrote the riot was a “peaceful protest.” She added, “Don’t believe the MSM,” an acronym commonly used for the mainstream media.

Miles later edited the original post to blame the violence at the Capitol on “antifa dressed as Patriots,” saying the supposed false flag operation was “Typical antifa and BLM intimidation tactics.” BLM is typically used to refer to the Black Lives Matter movement.'

Uh huh. She was appointed as far as I can tell.

11. Where the hell did she grow up? K street?

What a moron. She obviously has no judgement or common sense.

9. I find it repugnant

to watch individuals like her, who will do anything and every single thing, to try to sit at the good old white boys table........

I am guessing that she didn't watch how, for instance, Colin Powell and Condi Rice got thrown under the Bus when they sold their souls to the white establishment.........

For the life of me, I have NEVER been able to fathom how poor people, women, any minority or GLBTQ? people could possible vote for ANY republican.

I have to say: Fox News and Right wing radio have done one hell of a job indoctrinating them and brainwashing them (quite literally) to the Republican's way of thinking...............

10. Well

This means Miyares either didn't vet her or he knew but hoped that it wouldn't be noticed!!!

The news was all over the Commonwealth Attorney in Loudon County because a man convicted of child porn got hired as a paralegal...as if she were the one who hired him directly...let's see how much the media puts into this story!!!

She's just another token...not saying she isn't intelligent or not good at her job...but she'll do anything for table scraps!!!

13. Miles later edited the original post to blame the violence at the Capitol on "antifa dressed as Patr

Miles is a vile Trumpster!!

Good riddance

..............In response to someone who commented on the post, Miles wrote the riot was a “peaceful protest.” She added, “Don’t believe the MSM,” an acronym commonly used for the mainstream media.

Miles later edited the original post to blame the violence at the Capitol on “antifa dressed as Patriots,” saying the supposed false flag operation was “Typical antifa and BLM intimidation tactics.” BLM is typically used to refer to the Black Lives Matter movement.

Miles went on to write “Patriots are peace loving, Antifa and BLM are not.”

In other postings in the weeks after the 2020 presidential election, Miles made baseless claims that China interfered in the election and that there was evidence of significant voter fraud in Pennsylvania, Arizona and Michigan, among others states, according to screenshots. At two points, she flatly and falsely declared Trump was the true winner of the election.

“These left wing violent loonies better realize that DJT is getting a second term,” Miles wrote, referring to Trump by his initials...............................

14. So much for the belief in law and order

15. Victimization

Another whiny political operative claiming conservatives are being silenced.

People aren’t targeting conservatives, they’re targeting sycophants like her urging others to violence.
