INDEPENDENCE DAY WEEKEND IN VIRGINIA MARRED WITH VIOLENCE After the violence that erupted over the weekend, crime experts are predicting a “long, dangerous summer” across Virginia. Totals from the violent weekend: Richmond: three shootings; three dead, two hurt. Chesterfield: three shootings; two dead, one hurt. Hopewell: one shooting; one dead. Henrico: three shootings; three dead, two hurt. Virginians are concerned as police across the Commonwealth are searching for answers. When given the chance to discuss Virginia’s crime problem, Terry McAuliffe snubbed the Virginia Police Benevolent Association, which represents thousands of Commonwealth police officers. That’s not the first time that Terry McAuliffe has turned his back on police officers; McAuliffe touts that he “redirected”
VIRGINIA GOP RESPONDS TO TWO-FACED TERRY MCAULIFFE’S AD Republican Party of Virginia Chairman Rich Anderson issued the following statement in response to Terry McAuliffe’s ad: “Terry McAuliffe has decided the only way he can win is to run against Donald Trump because he can’t talk about his miserable record of lies and failed schools or his newly adopted leftist liberal agenda of demoralizing and defunding police. “With his new campaign strategy of running against Donald Trump, we immediately call on Terry McAuliffe to return the $25,000 donation he accepted from Donald Trump. We are not sure he can afford to
QUESTIONS ARISE ABOUT MCAULIFFE INVESTMENTS This morning, The Associated Press revealed that Terry McAuliffe invested in The Carlyle Group both before and after becoming Virginia’s governor in 2014, all while Glenn Youngkin was with the firm. Many questions remain unanswered about McAuliffe’s investment in Carlyle. Terry McAuliffe should come clean and answer these questions: Are you currently invested in Carlyle? When did you divest from Carlyle, specifically? Was your investment in Carlyle on terms that could be described as a “sweetheart deal” or special treatment? Prior to 2013, The Carlyle Group required a minimum investment of between $5 million and $20 million. The Associated Press reports that you invested “at
VIRGINIA GOP CALLS ON MEDIA TO CONFRONT TERRY MCAULIFFE ON REPEATED LIES After the release of today’s Politifact, Republican Party of Virginia Chairman Rich Anderson issued the following statement on the failure of Virginia press to hold Two-Faced Terry McAuliffe accountable for his repeated lies to Commonwealth voters: “Terry McAuliffe has now been caught lying to voters three times in the last three weeks, but he has not been asked about it once in the approximately 30 interviews he’s done in Virginia since he started repeating the lie. “It’s time for members of the Virginia media to do their job and hold Terry McAuliffe accountable for the repeated
TWO-FACED TERRY MCAULIFFE’S CAMPAIGN OF LIES ROLLS ON “Someone who lies about the little things will lie about the big things too.”-Terry McAuliffe (October 6, 2004) Two-Faced Terry McAuliffe got caught in another lie this morning. Politifact VA debunked McAuliffe’s hallmark digital ad*, saying, “McAuliffe misleadingly claims Youngkin praised him” and “contrary to McAuliffe’s assertion, Youngkin’s 2017 words do not prove he was a ‘big fan’ of the former governor’s economic policies, or that his current criticism of McAuliffe’s stewardship is a flip flop.” You can read this week’s Politifact on Two-Faced Terry HERE. Whoops! Or is it? After all, we call
TERRY MCAULIFFE ABANDONS THE POLICE Terry McAuliffe will make Virginia less safe. He did it once when his hand-picked parole board members let violent criminals back on our streets and when he oversaw a 43% increase in Virginia’s murder rate, and now the murder rate in Virginia is the highest in 20 years. And now he’s snubbed a major partner in tackling Virginia’s crime problem by skipping a meeting with the Virginia Police Benevolent Association, which represents thousands of police officers in the Commonwealth. It’s possible that Two-Faced Terry McAuliffe didn’t want to explain his efforts to “Defund the Police” through his support of eliminating qualified immunity that allows police officers
DEMOCRATS’ BORDER FAILURES CONTRIBUTE TO MODERN DAY SLAVERY As Glenn Youngkin seeks to unite Virginians around a plan to end modern day slavery, it’s important to highlight the Democratic policies that have created a border crisis and, in turn, contributed to human and sex trafficking across the United States. Republican Party of Virginia Chairman Rich Anderson issued the following statement taking Democrats to task for their weakness: “Democrats in Washington and Richmond have supported open border policies that have created a humanitarian crisis on our southern border. As a result, human traffickers and drug smugglers are having a field day.
VirginiaGOP Releases New Ad “Big Things, Little Things” VirginiaGOP Chairman Rich Anderson today issued the following statement on the release of VirginiaGOP’s new video, “Big Things, Little Things:” “Two-Faced Terry McAuliffe has a troubled relationship with the truth, and it’s becoming clearer and clearer to Virginians that Two-Faced Terry will lie about anything in order to get elected.” ###
VIRGINIA GOP CALLS ON TERRY MCAULIFFE TO ADDRESS RISING CRIME AND FUNDING FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT Republican Party of Virginia Chairman Rich Anderson today released the following statement on preventing violent crime and ensuring public safety: “Democrats, including Terry McAuliffe, have supported a litany of efforts that have the effect of defunding Commonwealth law enforcement agencies. With violent crime on the rise, I am calling on Terry McAuliffe to denounce any efforts to ‘defund the police.’” Homicides in Virginia are at their highest level in 20 years. Virginia’s murder rate climbed to its highest level since the late 1990s last year,
VirginiaGOP Chairman, Rich Anderson, released the following statement commemorating Juneteenth. “Today, our nation commemorates the abolition of slavery in 1865, and we honor the fight made by liberty-loving men and women in the pursuit of a more perfect Union. “156 years ago was a joyous and hard-earned day, and Americans and Virginians know that much work remains to be done to fulfill the ideals of our Founding Fathers.
