You may have noticed that an internet domain name associated with Ed’s name now points to a neo-Nazi website. We refuse to link to it here and don’t recommend trying to find it on your own because it’s appalling.
It’s just the latest in a series of long-running attempts by a domain name squatter who purchased the domain over 16 years ago to extort Ed and Cathy for thousands of dollars. They’ve pointed the URL to opponents’ websites and the Democratic Party of Virginia website over the years, trying to get Ed to pay up.
But Ed won’t give in and reward this bad actor. We don’t think it’s a good use of our donors’ good faith contributions to pay someone who would use Ed’s name to promote white supremacy.
We’re obviously unhappy that this is being done and that some Virginia voters are being taken to a hate group’s website when what they want is to learn about Ed and our campaign. Unfortunately, there’s no recourse for us at this juncture.
We are confident Virginians won’t fall for this latest dirty trick.
