VA SENATOR AMANDA CHASE DENIES MARIJUANA OD TWEET ...
Says Duplicate Acct.'s Afoot
2/6/2021 4:14 PM PT
Update
4:13 PM PT -- Looks like a parody account passing as State Senator Amanda Chase is responsible for the bizarre marijuana tweet, because the real McCoy's calling it a fake.
An unverified account with the handle @AmandaChaseVA -- which appears to be authentic, as it was set up in 2016 -- writes, "You know you’re the front runner for Governor when your opponent starts trying to duplicate your social media accounts. Make sure you’re following the @AmandaChaseVA not the counterfeit account @SenAmandaChase."
She adds her team has reported the duplicate account, which is being investigated.
