Slate writer shares quick reminder that Terry McAuliffe governed Virginia for four years without a scandal

If former President Barack Obama can claim with a straight face that his administration was scandal-free, then sure, why not? Terry McAuliffe also led a scandal-free administration while he was governor of Virginia, at least according to Slate’s Mark Joseph Stern.

Quick reminder that Terry McAuliffe somehow governed Virginia for four years without a scandal.

TERRY. MCAULIFFE.

More accurately, Terry McAuliffe terrifies journalists and political operatives alike into ignoring his many scandals. https://t.co/lIQi6O7JhN

Terry McAuliffe was a joke. He only cared about himself. Didn't do anything for us Virginians.

We’ll go ahead and assume he never wore blackface, but this isn’t what we’d call scandal-free.
