Terry McAuliffe Confronted on Claim Republicans ‘Stole’ 2000 Election, Refuses to Say Bush Won: There’s ‘Quite a Difference’ With 2020

Confronted on his claim that Republicans “stole” the 2000 election, Virginia Democratic gubernatorial nominee Terry McAuliffe refused to say on Sunday that George W. Bush won that election.

CNN’s State of the Union with Jake Tapper and Dana Bash played a couple soundbites of McAuliffe falsely saying that Democratic nominee and former Vice President Al Gore won. A third soundbite of McAuliffe falsely claiming that Bush lost the 2004 election was also played.

“You’re being criticized for saying, well wait a minute, the Republicans are questioning election integrity when that’s exactly what you did multiple times in more than one election,” said co-host Dana Bash.

“First of all, the 2000 election went to the United States Supreme Court. The United States Supreme Court shut down the voting, overruled the Florida Supreme Court and stopped the counting of votes,” replied McAuliffe. “That is quite a difference from what you had in the Trump election where 33, 34 cases, whatever it was, was brought up. Republican judges dismissed them.”

“What happened in 2000 was so different,” said Bash. “In 2020, Joe Biden won full stop.”

“Fair and square,” said McAuliffe.

“But, I guess, going back to 2000, do you think the Republicans stole that election,” asked Bash.

“In 2000, I wish the United States Supreme Court had let them finish counting the votes,” responded McAuliffe, who went on to attack his Republican opponent.

“Glenn Youngkin has run the entire campaign on election integrity. He says it is the single most important issue facing Virginia. No, I think healthcare, I think dealing with Covid, I think education is,” said McAuliffe. “And he just said two days ago that we ought to audit all of Virginia’s voting machines. Really? This is all the Trump talk. And I’m just surprised Trump hasn’t come to Virginia yet.”

“I mean, Glenn Youngkin has been in bed with him now since he started this campaign. He said five times he’s been endorsed, he’s honored,” he continued. “But he says he’s so much, after the nomination, so much of the reason I’m running is because of Donald Trump.”

McAuliffe concluded with this message: “Let me be clear, Virginians. I’m running for you.”

How about the fact that the Democrats manufactured a lie that Russia stole the 2016 election for Trump?

He already is an ex-governor. He's a private citizen running to become governor again.

Yep. The discussion was a set-up for McAulliffe and Bash to tag-team on the claim that Bush stole his election and Biden won his fair and square.

I know facts don’t matter to the liberals. But the Supreme Court did NOT stop the counting of votes in Florida. In fact, they counted voted multiple times in various places in Florida.

Remember how they did recounts to take into account the hanging chads? Then, not getting the result they wanted, then they did hand recounts to take into account the dimpled chads, to allegedly reflect the true intent of a voter who didn’t punch the box all the way through on the punchcard ballot?

The Supreme Court put a stop to endless recounts using different standards in different counties in Florida. This allowed Florida officials to certify the election results and certify the electoral votes.

The difference is the media supported Gore and hates Trump.

He’s an ex-governor now. Ralph Northam is the Governor. Governors can’t run for consecutive terms in VA.

He’s a private citizen
/\

So is stacy abrams...

But they seem to be ruling us anyways.

How was it legal for Georgia governor RatsAndTurds to sign any agreement with private citizen Stacy Abrams changing voting laws that are the sole perview of the state legislature ?

Hint, it’s totally illegal but they did it anyways.

It’s sedition, it’s treason.

In the open.

In our faces.

How is CRT,

And any curriculum
that advocates

our Constitutional Republic is systemicly racist

and must be overcome/ OVERTHROWN

And is textbook sedition

and borderline treason

being allowed ?

_( I contend it is treason, as it is being promoted and enabled by organizations with financial ties to a country that has told it’s own citizens on its own media,

and according to it’s governing charter that It’s goal is to bring the whole world under communism,

that it , Communist China, is at war with us, has attacked us with a bio weapon and has in fact won that proclaimed act of war

Why haven’t all the academics and school boards

enabling and embedding

this sedition

into our Schools

been arrested on sedition charges ?

I’ll tell you what I think is the reason why

The US
has been infiltrated

and overthrown ,
through voter and election fraud

and illegal acts by private citizens such as stacy abrams in cooperation with government employees like brad RatsAndTurd to enable that fraud

by an international criminal cartel , Communist China included.

Jmo.

MacAuliffe is already ex-governor. “Blackface” Northam is VA’s current governor.
