Original Note:
While not necessarily misleading, this tweet oversimplifies. AG Merrick Garland ordered the FBI to investigate the increase in threats against school boards. https://www.washingtonpost.com/education/2021/10/05/garland-educators-threats-masks-fbi/ Some commentators call this an overreaction. https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2021/10/07/school-boards-dont-call-fbi/6035611001/ Youngkin’s ad claims “the FBI is trying to silence parents.” https://youtu.be/C5LJmFEimJc
