“People who are claiming they believe in life and respect life are now threatening Del. Tran and her family, including her children; this is not right and it must stop. She’s now being forced to contact the police over this. No public official should have their safety threatened because someone disagrees with their political beliefs.”

"What the video showed was one of our members answering questions about a specific bill, deliberately misleading and clearly was part of an orchestrated ambush. Further, Mr. Speaker, the resulting video, which was selectively edited and the accompanying tweets and Facebook posts were completely and deliberately…mischaracterizing the legislation…as well as mischaracterization of what the current law is in…Virginia today. The post clearly, and the tweets, were made to inflame passions throughout the social media echo chamber. And they succeeded. What was the result? Ongoing harassment, intimidation against the patron, several members of this body, their families and their children.

And this morning. Mr. Speaker, the Republican Party of Virginia now fundraising off the video in question and continuing to spread it throughout the internet"
