'Close enough for government work'! Impeachment managers seem really confused about where Charlottesville is located [pic]

Donald Trump liked to say that he only hires the best people, but that’s doing a disservice to Democrats.

Because they’re clearly just as adept as he is when it comes to judging their people’s competence:

Because of course.

Dear @HouseDemocrats, it's NOT CHARLOTTESVILLE NC, IT'S VIRGINIA.

Don’t worry — it gets even better:

….and now Diana DeGette just said Charlottesville, WV.

Because of course.

@RepRaskin Come on guys. CHARLOTTESVILLE is in VIRGINIA. Not NC or WVA. Fix your slides and notes if you are going to keep using our tragedy as an example. INSULTING.

@jaketapper can someone tell me why a slide from impeachment members had “Charlottesville NC” and then the representative said “Charlottesville WV”???? Really??? Not a good look…

— MamaShu (@LauraEire23) February 11, 2021

Oh dear. It’s not Charlottesville NC nor WV. It’s VA.

@RepRaskin Charlottesville is in Virginia, not NC or WV. Please make this correction. Thank you.

OK…I think the impeachment managers are doing a fine job, but am I the only one more than a little annoyed that, so far, they have managed to place Charlottesville in both NC and WV, but not actually in its rightful state of VA? It's kind of a well-known city, y'all ?‍♂️

@RepDianaDeGette I really appreciated your thorough remarks today at the Impeachment Trial.
But PLEASE make a public correction: CHARLOTTESVILLE is in VA, not WV, as you stated, nor NC as previous video presentation showed.

Charlottesville, NC? Charlottesville, WV? C’mon on now!!

— 2longgrass (@2longgrass) February 11, 2021

WTF #HouseImpeachmentManagers 2x now y’all messed up where Charlottesville is, VIRGINIA not NC not West VA. How can we trust your facts if you mess up something so simple? @RepDianaDeGette @RepRaskin

Well, to be fair:

Close enough for government work.

— Mattphilbin (@Mattphilbin) February 11, 2021

So it should be good enough for the rest of us, right?

Maybe they'll get it on the next try.

Don’t hold your breath. Especially if you live in Charlottesville.
