A political committee connected to Democrat strategists is impersonating conservatives in an attempt to dissuade Republican voters from supporting GOP gubernatorial nominee Glenn Youngkin.

Virginia voters began getting targeted ads to their Facebook, Google, and Instagram accounts questioning Youngkin’s commitment to the Second Amendment.

Fox News reports:

“While the NRA backs Donald Trump, they REFUSED to endorse Glenn Youngkin. We can’t trust Glenn Youngkin on guns,” one of the ads says.

The ads come from a group called Accountability Virginia PAC, which on its website doesn’t give details about who’s behind the organization. But the group’s online donation page is accessed through ActBlue, the main Democratic fundraising platform; its bank account sits with Amalgamated Bank, a financial institution owned by labor unions and frequently used by pro-Democratic political groups; and consultants at a firm that works with Democrats helped incorporate Accountability Virginia, according to Axios.

According to public records, the group spent roughly $25,000 to run the ads, which have been viewed at least 1 million times. The ads appearing on Snapchat appear to be targeted to users in largely rural and heavily Republican parts of western Virginia.

Youngkin, a successful businessman and first time candidate, is facing off against former Democratic Gov. Terry McAuliffe in an election that’s seen as a key barometer ahead of next year’s midterm elections, when control of Congress will be up for grabs. The latest polls indicate McAuliffe holding a very slight advantage in the contest, with five weeks to go until the election.

Virginia – along with New Jersey – are the only two states holding gubernatorial races this year. Both races are indicators of how midterm elections could shake out as Republicans fight to win back the House.
