The anti-Donald Trump group The Lincoln Project is taking credit for the group of five people who showed up at a Charlottesville campaign stop by Youngkin. The appearance recalled the torch-bearing white supremacists who descended on the city during two days of violence in 2017. \u200b(Elizabeth Holmes\/NBC29 via AP)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h5>OAN Newsroom<br \/>UPDATED 9:29 AM PT \u2013 Saturday, October 30, 2021<\/h5>\n<p>The<a href=\"https:\/\/lincolnproject.us\/\"> Lincoln Project<\/a> recently sent far left operatives with tiki torches to a Glenn Youngkin gubernatorial campaign event in Virginia.
