Press Release | Youngkin for Governor
Appearing on NBC News’ Meet the Press today, McAuliffe spewed more than a dozen lies in less than 6 minutes. Here are the facts.
1. MCAULIFFE’S LIE: “A bill I vetoed … that literally, parents could take books out of the curriculum.”
THE TRUTH: According to The Washington Post Fact Checker, McAuliffe “mischaracterized the bills he vetoed. Neither bill would have allowed parents to ‘veto books’ or ‘take them off the shelves,’ according to the bills and the veto statements issued by McAuliffe at the time.”
2. MCAULIFFE’S LIE: “He is closing his campaign on banning books.”
THE TRUTH: This is nonsense. Glenn Youngkin is campaigning on the principle that parents matter, and that parents have a right to have a say in their own child’s education. McAuliffe vetoed bills that would have notified parents when their child was assigned sexually explicit material. Why is McAuliffe so dead set against parents simply being notified of what their child is being assigned?
3. MCAULIFFE’S LIE: The bill was an “extreme Republican bill that would allow parents take books off of shelves.”
THE TRUTH: According to The Washington Post Fact Checker, “The bills passed by wide margins. Fourteen House Democrats and one Senate Democrat supported the 2016 bill and eight House Democrats and one Senate Democrat supported the 2017 bill. Many of the Democrats were members of the Black caucus.” Again, according to The Washington Post Fact Checker, “Neither bill would have allowed parents to ‘veto books’ or ‘take them off the shelves.” more here
He lies because it’s always worked for him in the past and most voters don’t care enough to find out what the truth is.
