We are not going to concede this democracy to the efforts of tyranny,” she shouted. “We are not going to concede the rights that we have in this country to protect every single citizen. We are going to fight. This is an act of civil disobedience that we are going to keep up and make sure that your voices continue throughout Virginia, all throughout the country.”See below:AFTER The Polls tightened in VIRGINIA, the Democrats panicked and released their “October Surprise” smearing Lt.
