<\/a><\/center><\/p>\nVirginia’s Governor Carpetbagger Terry McAuliffe told a Black Lives Matter activist and podcast radio host, DeRay Mckesson, that the state police had conducted raids before the events in Charlottesville last weekend, and that they had found weapons caches that had been stashed around the city. <\/p>\n
According to REASON<\/a>, the state police admitted that they conducted searches, but that they had found no such caches;<\/p>\n “The governor was referring to the briefing provided him in advance of Saturday’s rally and the extra security measures being taken by local and state police,” [Corinne Geller, a spokesperson for the Virginia State Police] tells Reason. “As a safety precaution in advance of August 12, such searches were conducted in and around Emancipation and McIntire Parks. No weapons were located as a result of those searches.”<\/p>\n The Virginia State Police also disputed McAuliffe’s claims that Virginia State Police were underequipped to deal with the heavily armed militia members at Saturday’s rally.<\/p>\n “The governor was referencing the weapons and tactical gear the members of various groups attending the rally had on their persons,” Geller says. “I can assure you that the Virginia State Police personnel were equipped with more-than-adequate specialized tactical and protective gear for the purpose of fulfilling their duties to serve and protect those in attendance of the August 12 event in Charlottesville.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n This is right up there with his remark<\/a> that 93 million Americans are killed everyday from gun violence. <\/p>\n Reason also points out that an interview that McAuliffe did with the New York Times<\/a> after the events in Charlottesville, had to be heavily edited<\/a> when McAUlliffe falsely claimed that 80% of the protesters were armed with semi-automatic weapons. “You saw the militia walking down the street, you would have thought they were an army,” he said.<\/p>\n Virginia deserves a truthful executive in the governor’s mansion and Syracusan Terry McAullife is not truthful – he’s more interested into scaring his constituency with his lies.<\/p>\n Thanks to AnotherPat for the tip.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
