Deeds staff involved in sign defacement in Newport News?
McDonnell volunteers in Newport News confronted someone whom they claim is a member of Deeds’ team in Hampton Roads defacing signs on private property with “Backwards Bob” stickers. This photo is just one of several signs damaged by vandals:
“Please don’t call the cops” lamented one of the Deeds’ volunteers. The McDonnell volunteers recognized one of those with the Deeds’ workers as being on the Hampton Roads staff for Deeds.

Seriously, this is bullshit. Who are these McDonnell staffers? And if they recognized the Deeds staffer and knew his name, they shoud have called the cops. At a minimum, the Deeds staffer (if this story is true) ought to be fired.
But putting this out there like this — an anonymous allegation against an unamed staffer with a Mcdonnell sign that could be anywhere and defaced by anyone as ersatz evidence or wrongdoing, is pathetic.
[...] thanks to Bearing Drift, we have this picture of a large McDonnell sign defaced with Deeds stickers. But what makes this distasteful is that the Deeds crew went on to a McDonnell supporter’s [...]
