McAuliffe repeats '4 Pinocchio' coronavirus stat; calls Youngkin, who was vaccinated, an 'anti-vaxxer'
Fox News
Democratic Virginia gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe repeated a previously debunked number about COVID-19 hospitalizations and slammed his fully vaccinated Republican opponent, Glenn Youngkin, as an "anti-vaxxer" during an NBC News interview Sunday.
"We have 1,142 children who have been in the hospital here in Virginia," he claimed.
It is a number McAuliffe has repeated several times this month, though his framing of the figure has dramatically changed. On Oct. 7, he said, "We in Virginia today, 1,142 children are in ICU beds."
