Virginia Democrat Senate President Pro Tempore L Louise LucasPowerful and corrupt Virginia State Senator Louise Lucas has responded after experiencing the reality that no one is above the law.As The Gateway Pundit’s Cassandra MacDonald reported earlier, federal authorities have charged the Trump-hating 82-year-old Lucas with racketeering, money laundering conspiracy, conspiracy to distribute marijuana, and gun possession as part of an alleged public corruption scheme tied to a cannabis business that she co-owns.A Justice Department spokesperson confirmed that Lucas turned herself into authorities and was arrested.Per Fox News’s Bill Melugin, members of Lucas’ family were also busted by the feds.Cover page of the indictment against her. Some of her family members have also been arrested & charged by DOJ. https://t.co/xGhKh1YTAL— Bill Melugin (@BillMelugin_) October 22, 2026The indictment alleges that members of the conspiracy used various business entities to disguise the proceeds of illegal marijuana distribution.It further claims that Lucas “used her political position in the Virginia state senate to insulate” the enterprise “from criminal scrutiny, to further the goal of wealth accumulation.”A short time ago, Luca released the following statement after getting arrested and charged.Note how she plays both the ‘helpless grandma’ and Jim Crow cards to portray herself as the victim.“Today, the FBI, the Department of Justice, and the full weight of the FBI have been wielded against an 82-year-old grandmother,” she wrote.“I grew up under Jim Crow. I’ve seen what happens when people in power try to silence those standing up to them. I spent my life fighting back, and I’m not going to stop now.”“I’m not new to this. I’m true to this.”“I will not be intimidated. I will not be bullied. And I will not back down.”https://t.co/hKT5NbUXpa— L. Louise Lucas (@SenLouiseLucas) October 22, 2026But her statement is nothing but pure gaslighting.Not only do the Feds appear to have Lucas dead to rights, but this investigation was started under the Biden regime.From TGP’s MacDonald:In one intercepted phone call from February 2026 with an unindicted co-conspirator, Lucas allegedly said this was their “last chance at generational wealth” and added, “I’ve gotten too old to not be greedy,” according to a report from NBC News.The investigation started during the Biden administration, according to reports.The post NEW: Crooked, Trump-Hating Virginia Democrat Louise Lucas Responds After Getting Busted by Federal Authorities appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.
