During an interview with CNN’s Dana Bash over the weekend, Virginia Democratic gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe doubled down on his previous comments that George W. Bush won the 2000 presidential election, which comes as McAuliffe has been attacking Republicans because a few have questioned the results of the 2020 election.
Bash played clips of McAuliffe claiming without evidence that Democrats “actually won the” 2020 presidential election.
In the clips, McAuliffe said:
“If Katherine Harris, Jeb Bush, Jim Baker, and the Supreme Court hadn’t tampered with the results, Al Gore would be president.”
“Folks, you know it. I know it. They know it. We won that election!”
“We actually won the last presidential election, folks. They stole the last presidential election.”
“Do you think Republicans stole that election?” Bash asked.
“I wish the United States Supreme Court had let them finish counting the votes,” McAuliffe responded.

McAuliffe also notoriously embraced the Russia-hoax, claiming that Hillary Clinton is not president because of “treasonous” Americans and Russians were “destabilizing our democracy.”
