John Reid, the GOP candidate for lieutenant governor in Virginia, is under scrutiny following claims of sexually explicit posts linked to him on Tumblr. Governor Glenn Youngkin reportedly asked Reid to withdraw from the race, provoking a strong response from Reid, who claims he is a target of a coordinated smear campaign. He alleges an anonymous social media account threatened to reveal damaging information in exchange for his withdrawal, calling it extortion. Despite the controversy, Reid maintains his candidacy and received support from attendees at a recent event who drew parallels between his situation and Trump's previous legal challenges.
Reid calls the situation a 'coordinated assassination attempt' and insists he didn't create sexually explicit posts linked to his name.
Virginia Governor Youngkin allegedly suggested to Reid that dropping out would stop the threats and 'purchase the opposition research,' which Reid deems extortion.
