The Virginia Project (TVP) is a Virginia state-level Republican political action committee that was founded by David Gordon in 2019.[1][2][3]
Activities
TVP was involved in Republican efforts to win the
voter mobilization efforts.[7]
The organization is opposed to
computer hacking of opponents, which caused an outcry in national conservative media.[1][11] TVP subsequently sued a moderator of the group for defamation after she claimed TVP was sending unknown people to threaten her – the group had posted a letter to the moderator on Twitter that included her home address, which David Gordon described as an "oversight" and "perfectly legal".[1][11] The Loudoun County Sheriff's Office later determined that the Facebook group's social media posts, including the creation of a "hit list", did not constitute criminal activity.[12]
TVP has shown opposition to aspects of the
X social media site, and claiming illegal attacks from the pro-Ukraine NAFO group, which Kirichenko argued showed the effectiveness of NAFO.[15]
