Deputy Virginia AG resigns over enthusiastic Jan. 6 support

[butters]

Monique Miles, who until Thursday was deputy attorney general of government transactions and operations, apparently spread baseless claims about voter fraud and election interference over the course of several months on Facebook. Her office was unaware of this until Post reporters inquired, according to Victoria LaCivita, a spokeswoman for Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares.

"This information was unknown to the Office of the Attorney General prior to this morning," LaCivita told the Post. "Ms. Miles has resigned from her position at the Office of the Attorney General."

While the Capitol attack of Jan. 6, 2021, underway, Miles reportedly wrote that it was the work of "patriots."

"News Flash: Patriots have stormed the Capitol. No surprise. The deep state has awoken the sleeping giant," Miles wrote on Facebook. "Patriots are not taking this lying down. We are awake, ready and will fight for our rights by any means necessary."

That post was later revised after pushback from commenters, with Miles claiming that demonstrators were in fact "antifa dressed as Patriots," a claim made by many conservatives at the time that has been widely debunked.

Not as long as it's politically effective, it isn't.
