Virginia Democrat candidate 'Big Lie' argument backfires

 Red States:

Anytime a Democrat gets hilariously hoist with their own petard, it is “chef’s kiss” perfection, and Virginia Democrat gubernatorial nominee Terry McAuliffe getting hoist with his as his campaign is in the middle of imploding is no exception to that rule.

For months now, McAuliffe has alleged that Republican nominee Glenn Youngkin is a clone of former President Trump, which he thinks will score him points in a purple/blue state that went for Hillary Clinton in 2016 and Joe Biden in 2020. Where he’s tried to hit Youngkin hardest on this point is over the so-called “Big Lie” from some Republicans including Trump about the 2020 election allegedly being rigged.

But last night during a roundtable discussion, McAuliffe deliciously fell into a trap of his own making over stolen election claims when WAVY reporter Anita Blanton, who also embarrassed him during a heated exchange over Critical Race Theory, asked him about his past comments on the 2000 and 2004 elections being “stolen.” Watch below as McAuliffe repeatedly trips over himself, refusing to say former President George W.

It looks like McAuliffe's short-term memory problem has been exposed.  He has made several blunders of late including alienating parents concerned about what is being taught in schools. Here is a clue.  There are more parents than there are teachers and administrators.  Democrats tend to lock into talking points and sometimes do not consider their own history.
