Virginia state senator Amanda Chase, known for her controversial views on the LGBTQ+ community, spoke out in support of the pro-Trump rioters who stormed Washington DC on January 6.
Chase wrote on Facebook: “I had to be there today to represent those of us who believe this election was stolen from we the people.
This was not a fair, free election. We don’t believe the lies, deception and complete stealing of this year’s 2020 presidential election.
The people have had enough.” She continued: “These were not rioters and looters; these were patriots who love their country and do not want to see our great republic turn into a socialist country.
