Virginia gubernatorial hopeful Terry McAuliffe celebrates 'extra special' July 4th by literally flaming out before he even gets going [video]

This year’s Independence Day was extra special for Terry McAuliffe, so he celebrated it exactly as we’d expect Terry McAuliffe to celebrate it:

Happy July 4th, Virginia. This year is extra special. America is back.🇺🇸🇺🇸🍻🍺🌭🍔 pic.twitter.com/VrWKK9viAm

Aside from the fact that he tweeted that on July 3, notice anything strange about the video?

Maybe he likes his burgers really, really rare?

When you unpack your meat, add the sauces, prepare your beer, and realize that your propane tank is empty. 👇🏻 https://t.co/0VoakgGn7P

To be fair, Terry McAuliffe is probably pretty used to running on an empty tank.

But still.

That looks so natural, with a fully loaded grill of cold raw meat and a grill not turned on.

It helps to turn on the grill first. 🙄

Heh. That must be it.

The grill's not even on. What a pandering buffoon.https://t.co/kS400Thf8r

You're going to be as natural and proficient of a governor as that grill is going to cook that meat https://t.co/89TBM2oTVT

First the cringeworthy dancing, now this. Who grills meat without turning the grill on? (Amateur.)

Virginians, we can’t afford four years of this guy again. https://t.co/3GlukKvJZg
