GOP House Candidate Uses Fake Family For Photos

The New York Times reports:

The campaign of Derrick Anderson, a former Army Green Beret who is running in a competitive race for an open seat in Virginia’s Seventh District, has posted footage of him posing with a woman and her three daughters in what looks like a photo that might be used for an annual holiday card.

In another scene filmed for potential use in a campaign ad, Mr. Anderson is seated around the dining room table with the same woman and three girls, chatting and smiling.

I traveled to our southern border to see the crisis firsthand bc it is impacting communities, schools, safety, & resources in #VA07.

My opponent, @YVindman, doesn’t believe the border & immigration are important, so much so he removed it from his website.https://t.co/asapfmUgem
