I mean, that stunt they pulled yesterday sits at Terry McAuliffe\u2019s feet. I mean, he owns it. And it was the most divisive, it was the most abhorrent thing.

Virginians are absolutely rejecting this partisan, divisive politics that\u2019s been the trademark of Terry McAuliffe\u2019s 43 year political career. I mean, he\u2019s the Godfather of [the] &nbsp;modern day progressive Democratic Party, and he\u2019s seeing it all fail.
