Damage control! McAuliffe campaign mailer shows Dems know they went WAY too far to smear concerned parents

During a debate with his Republican opponent in the race for Virginia governor, Democrat candidate Terry McAuliffe said the quiet part out loud:

The McAuliffe campaign knows that comments like that (not to mention what’s happening in Loudon County schools) have backfired, which leads us to a mailer that’s gone out:

Not the mailer you want to have to send out less than a week before the election. pic.twitter.com/xWy1XjUuzx

As the old saying goes, “if you’re explaining, you’re losing.” And we sure do hope McAuliffe loses.

WOW. Great timing, right after it's acknowledged that there was a sexual assault in a VA school and the school board covered it up – and had the outraged victim's father arrested.

Barack Obama called the story “phony” because the narrative must be protected at all costs.

Story proved to be true.
