Proving unfit to be Virginia Governor, Terry McAuliffe statements incited racial fear and hatred. His deadly claims were not only false but contradicted Va. State Police. McAuliffe told Black Lives Matter activist that 'white nationalists' had stashed weapons around town, which was false. Families had to worry their children might find them and possibly kill themselves or others. NY Times had to remove McAuliffe claim that 80% of rally attendees had semi-automatic weapons-Reason.com via Disobedient Media

 "Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe said police found weapons stashed by white nationalists. Police say they didn’t. 

Contradicting statements by Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe, the Virginia State Police say they did not find caches of weapons stashed around Charlottesville in advance of last Saturday’s deadly white nationalist rally.

In an interview Monday on the Pod Save the People podcast, hosted by Black Lives Matter activist DeRay Mckesson, McAuliffe claimed the white nationalists who streamed into Charlottesville that weekend hid weapons throughout the town.

They had battering rams and we had picked up different weapons that they had stashed around the city, McAuliffe told Mckesson. 

McAuliffe’s comments were picked up by other news outlets and spread through social media. But Corinne Geller, a spokesperson for the Virginia State Police, says that no such stashes were found.
