Democrat Fails, Hypocrisy, and Lies

Too Bad, Terry: We're On To Your Lies

Rapid Response

It’s clear. Terry McAuliffe loves playing politics with COVID:

SHOT:

CHASER(S):

McAuliffe has repeatedly made false, easily debunked claims about Glenn Youngkin.

  • He spread false claims that Youngkin is anti-vaccine, despite the fact that Youngkin has repeatedly publicly urged Virginians to get vaccinated.
  • He refused to join Youngkin in a pro-vaccine PSA to encourage Virginians to get the vaccine.

Not only that, he proved himself a hypocrite by promoting anti-vaxxers and violating Democrat mask mandates.

  • He appointed prominent anti-vaxxers to state boards after they contributed to his political campaign; one McAuliffe appointee actually called vaccines a “holocaust of poison.”
  • He employed and gave a platform to a long-time far-left liberal activist with past anti-Israel comments who sowed fear and doubt about the COVID vaccine last year.  
  • He violated Joe Biden’s mask mandate multiple times and held a political fundraiser in Martha’s Vineyard, while the island struggled to deal with a spike in COVID cases following Barack Obama’s “celebrity-filled” birthday party.

McAuliffe made excuses for violating Biden’s mask mandate, which he lauded, saying: “I’m very good about wearing my mask,” “It was 1 o’clock in the morning,” and “We can always do better.”

As McAuliffe resorts to taking a page out of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris’ vaccine misinformation playbook, Virginia CAN “do better” by rejecting another term of inept Democrat governors and electing Glenn Youngkin.
