It was actually Friday, a day before he was sworn in, that Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares fired the entire civil rights division of the Attorney General’s Office. Local media says that Miyares Friday made 30 personnel changes, including 17 attorneys and 13 staffers. Louise Lucas is president Pro tempore of the Virginia Senate.
I've been told incoming AG @JasonMiyaresVA just FIRED the entire civil rights division in the Attorney General's office. My bill helped create and expand the authority that this division uses.

This whole campaign we had to listen to @JasonMiyaresVA whining about local prosecutors choosing not to prosecute certain crimes- then he gets elected and eliminates an entire division dedicated to enforcing civil rights law. Total hypocrisy and it needs to be SEEN.

I promise all of you the Virginia Senate Democrats will respond with ACTION whenever the new Governor, Attorney General or anyone else tries to roll back our progress!

Already hearing that the AG-elect is claiming it’s just “some” of the office- and says it will still “exist”. In what form?
We are not going to be gaslit by PR statements- this is the people’s AG office and we all deserve full transparency on what happened today.

Virginia’s new Attorney General has just fired the entire civil rights division in the AG office and announced that he will prosecute criminal cases in jurisdictions where Soros DAs decline to prosecute.
He is also the first PoC Attorney General in Virginia history! pic.twitter.com/cLKHvnoNNQ

This is a great sign of hope that things can get better. Every new AG should take note. These Soros DAs are destroying every city they get their hands on. https://t.co/AjXYWk3TpR

Exactly the way to do it. No need to try to bargain with these people. Just get rid of them.

Let's hope that he sets an example for other AGs in other states. Republicans have to stop complaining and start acting.

Bad ass who has experience with totalitarians knows they must be rooted out of every nook and cranny and sent packing – no negotiation

We don't want these moles to go underground and hide their agenda. We need them exposed and laid bare. Those in office and in the pipeline. The Leftist agenda by design destroys America. Their political machine must be opposed because they never let up.

This is the President Pro Temp and the Democratic Leader in the Virginia Senate.
There is videotape of her inciting a violent riot in summer 2020.
She should be nicer to our new AG, after all, he’ll be the one investigating her. https://t.co/kfqlckdH54
