The Virginia state legislator whose campaign ad said she was going to “shoot down” her opponents has been kicked out of the state Party after campaigning for a Tea Party candidate against her county’s Sheriff and falsely claiming that the Republican Sheriff supports a sanctuary county. She also swore at a state Capitol police officer over a parking space, and called the state Senate clerk “Miss Piggy”. > **[Trumpian Va.

Breaking News! Breaking News! Breaking News! Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman claim that, tomorrow, they will be having a press conference where they will produce a 24-year-old former Marine who claims he has been in a sexual relationship with Elizabeth Warren. How is this a bad thing? And what happened to their announcement of the name of the Whistleblower that they were supposed to have, when was it, yesterday? BTW, isn’t Jacob Wohl wanted for a felony in California? > ---

As one might suspect, [Wohl’s “press conference” was shoddy, embarrassing, and easily debunked,](https://www.thecut.com/2019/10/jacob-wohl-smear-attempt-just-makes-elizabeth-warren-seem-cool.html?utm_source=undefined&utm_medium=undefined&utm_campaign=feed-part) and even if it were true, [it just makes Warren sound cool](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EF-TV_wX0AMOChH.jpg). His 25-year old Marine, “Kevin Whelly”, provided a written statement that reads like it was written by someone who’s never kissed a girl. His Twitter profile identifies him as part of the “united states marine corp” (sic), and his Instagram profile contradicts his claim that he got a scar on his back from Warren whipping him. (Did I mention she’s supposedly a domme? Yep, Liz is kinky.) He also claims they met through a site called “COWBOYS4ANGELS”, which is literally ripped off from a Showtime reality show about male prostitutes, and that she told him that _all_ the lady Congressmen have “studs” servicing them at Congressional retreats. Wohl clearly thinks that “fake news” actually works the way Trump claims it does; all you have to do is make an allegation and everyone immediately and incredulously believes it and shames the “guilty” party into oblivion.
