A deputy attorney general overseeing election issues in Virginia has resigned after old Facebook posts supporting Jan. 6th protestors came to light. Monique Miles stepped down from her position serving under the state’s new Republican attorney general Jason Miyares on Wednesday.

The Washington Post was the first to report on Miles previous Facebook activity.

The Hill reports:

“This information was unknown to the Office of the Attorney General prior to this morning,” Victoria LaCivita, a spokesperson for Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares’ (R) office, said in a statement. “Ms. Miles has resigned from her position at the Office of the Attorney General.”

“The Attorney General has been very clear – Joe Biden won the election and he has condemned the January 6th attack,” she added.

The Post noted the Facebook posts originally came from one of three personal accounts that Miles has on the social media platform, and the outlet verified the posts’ authenticity with four people who have engaged with Miles on Facebook.

In one post on Jann. 6, 2021, Miles wrote: “News flash: Patriots have stormed the Capitol. No surprise The deep state has awoken the sleeping giant. Patriots are not taking this lying down. We are awake, ready and will fight for our rights by any means necessary.”

In another post, Miles reportedly wrote “These left wing violent loonies better realize that DJT is getting a second term,” in reference to Donald Trump.

However, Miles accused The Post of taking her posts out of context and unfairly targeting her as a Black conservative woman.

“The posts were made at a time when the news was still developing re: the facts around the election, the court cases, the Rally on the Ellipse and what happened at the capitol,” Miles wrote to the newspaper. “That was before all the audits occurred. These posts have been taken out of context.”
