VA-LG: Youngkin asks Reid (R) to withdraw from race for lieutenant governor [View all]
Gov. Glenn Youngkin called the Republican nominee for lieutenant governor, John Reid, and asked him to step down Friday.
A source close to Youngkin, with knowledge of the situation, confirmed this to Virginia Scope, and Reid confirmed that the governor had called him.
A Tumblr account was discovered during a vulnerability assessment commissioned by Republican groups after Reid became the nominee. The account, which used the same handle Reid employs on other platforms, featured explicit photographs. The photographs were reposts, and not pictures of Reid himself.
Reid, the first openly gay man on a statewide ticket, denies that the account was his.
The Tumblr account was deleted by Friday when the Richmonder first broke the news, but Virginia Scope has viewed the content that was posted on the account.
