Today’s example is this tweet from Reuters World about the Lincoln Project taking credit for the “white supremacist” stunt near Glenn Youngkin’s campaign bus:
Group of anti-Trump Republicans was behind tiki torches in Virginia campaign https://t.co/3tf2AkLuNe pic.twitter.com/899hdLqAoQ

It depends on what your definition of “Republicans” is…
Nah. Those are called Democrats.

Can somebody inform Reuters World that actual Republicans aren’t trying to get Terry McAuliffe elected the governor of Virginia?
People who have exclusively backed Democrats for 3+ cycles are not "anti-Trump Republicans" and it's dishonest to suggest otherwise.
Especially when this stunt was aimed at a rather middle of the road Republican Gubernatorial candidate that has little to do with Trump. https://t.co/z4UaqGhDOG

You can’t make it up. “Republicans”
Literally all Democrats. https://t.co/R8i8wWlTuu— Josh Holmes (@HolmesJosh) October 30, 2021
All the people spotted locking their Twitter accounts yesterday sure were Democrats.
These aren't republicans Reuters. Two are staffers with Democratic campaigns. I expect better reporting from @Reuters @ReutersWorld

The Lincoln Project is not a Republican group, they're all Democrats.

"Republicans". Lol.
This is why "gaslighting" will be added to the dictionary next year.
Good job @Reuters. https://t.co/oJgjtX9EQu

Nothing quite sums up 2021 like a group of Democrats pretending to be Republicans pretending to be Democrats pretending to be Nazis https://t.co/5omkktW4Vo
