Screenshotted in advance of its deletion.

Screenshot of Bluesky post by Pelican reads, “So if you're driving down a road and one meter in front of you from between two parked cars pops a kid.
Bang.
A child once lost control and their bike and veered into a busy road.
Bang.
The lack of empathy for the driver is fucked.
They're not always in control of their env.”

PAC stumping for WV MAGAs just coasting, not even bothering to change the copy on their cookie cutter campaigns.

Two nearly identical ads appear one atop the other as seen on a Yahoo page. One features a middle-aged white woman, reading, “REPUBLICAN ANNE
CHARNOCK
For STATE SENATE DISTRICT 17
A CONSERVATIVE FIGHTER FOR WEST VIRGINIA FAMILIES
• Cut Taxes
• Slash Regulations
• Invest in West Virginia
BY SUGAR MAPLE PAC. NOT AUTHORIZED BY CANDIDATE OR CANDIDATE COMMITTEE.”

The other features a bald, middle-aged white man with a goatee, reading, “REPUBLICAN CHRIS PRITT
For STATE SENATE DISTRICT 17
A CONSERVATIVE FIGHTER FOR WEST VIRGINIA FAMILIES
• Cut Taxes
• Slash Regulations
• Invest in West Virginia
BY SUGAR MAPLE PAC. NOT AUTHORIZED BY CANDIDATE OR CANDIDATE COMMITTEE.”
