McAuliffe’s decision to have Weingarten speak at rally mocked by Republicans
Fox News
Terry McAuliffe, the Democratic hopeful in Tuesday's Virginia gubernatorial race, was mocked by Republican critics for his decision to campaign with American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten at his final rally before the election.
"Wait, what? The night before the election in VA where education might be the top issue, McAuliffe is campaigning with the woman who shut down schools for 18 months?" Mark Hemingway, a senior writer at RealClearInvestigations tweeted.
Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., also took to Twitter to mock Weingarten’s appearance, posting that the "union boss responsible for shutting down schools is the final surrogate for Terry McAuliffe’s campaign."
"Virginians should vote accordingly," he posted. His tweet was subsequently retweeted by the Republican National Committee.
