The ads were designed to trick viewers into thinking Accountability Virginia is a pro-gun group warning gun owners about Youngkin\u2019s candidacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Virginia Citizens Defense League, a pro-2A group that spearheaded the Second Amendment sanctuary movement, sent an email to supporters urging them to contact Dominion Energy and express disapproval of their donation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLet\u2019s make sure Dominion Energy knows that gun owners in Virginia do NOT appreciate the company interfering with our right to self-defense,\u201d VCDL President Phil Van Cleave wrote in an email obtained by GunsAmerica. \u201cLet\u2019s call them, email them, and protest at their office.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The gambit worked. Van Cleave reported in a subsequent email that Dominion was \u201cabsolutely inundated\u2026 with unhappy calls and emails,\u201d and the company announced later that morning that it had \u201cfailed to vet\u201d Accountability Virginia\u2019s actions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/virginia-gun-owners-terry-mcauliffe-wants-to-ban-guns-using-public-health-crisis\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"gun-owners-force-virginia-energy-company-to-revoke-200k-donation-to-anti-gun-pac\" title=\"Gun Owners Force Virginia Energy Company to Revoke $200K Donation to Anti-Gun PAC\">Virginia Gun Owners!

In as much, we have asked that our contributions be returned.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The dishonest social media ads took advantage of an ongoing point of frustration in the pro-2A community in Virginia. Republican candidate Glenn Youngkin has failed to complete the VCDL\u2019s candidate survey, so Van Cleave admits he\u2019s unsure which policies Youngkin will support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the social media ads claims \u201cwe can\u2019t trust Glenn Youngkin on guns\u201d while another urges voters to \u201ctell him to tell us the truth about where he stands!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Accountability Virginia is operated by prominent Democrats and accepts donations through Act Blue, a fundraising tool used by leftist nonprofits and other organizations. The ads are designed to suppress the vote for Youngkin in the hopes of bolstering his Democratic opponent, Terry McAuliffe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"969\" height=\"1024\" title=\"Gun Owners Force Virginia Energy Company to Revoke 0K Donation to Anti-Gun PAC\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Screen-Shot-2021-10-20-at-1.03.29-PM-969x1024.png\" alt=\"Gun Owners Force Virginia Energy Company to Revoke 0K Donation to Anti-Gun PAC\" class=\"wp-image-153109\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Screen-Shot-2021-10-20-at-1.03.29-PM-969x1024.png 969w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Screen-Shot-2021-10-20-at-1.03.29-PM-284x300.png 284w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Screen-Shot-2021-10-20-at-1.03.29-PM-142x150.png 142w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Screen-Shot-2021-10-20-at-1.03.29-PM-768x811.png 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Screen-Shot-2021-10-20-at-1.03.29-PM.png 994w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 969px) 100vw, 969px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/former-virginia-gov-mcauliffes-antigun-ignorance-is-showing-again\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"gun-owners-force-virginia-energy-company-to-revoke-200k-donation-to-anti-gun-pac\" title=\"Gun Owners Force Virginia Energy Company to Revoke $200K Donation to Anti-Gun PAC\">Former Virginia Gov.
