Bobby Jindal turns up heat on Terry McAuliffe

Politico:

MILWAUKEE — Republican Governors Association Chairman Bobby Jindal called on Democrats on Sunday to drop Terry McAuliffe as their nominee for governor of Virginia.

 

The governor of Louisiana seized on a report that the Securities and Exchange Commission is investigating GreenTech Automotive, the electric car company McAuliffe co-founded, over its conduct in soliciting foreign investors.

 

“The bottom line is Terry McAuliffe has disqualified himself to be the governor of Virginia. … This scandal is just the final nail in the coffin,” Jindal said at a press conference here during the National Governors Association meeting.

 

He also unveiled a new ad by the RGA charging that McAuliffe can’t be trusted and that his attacks on Republican Ken Cuccinelli are an attempt to “shift attention away from the news about this federal investigation, … a possible ‘visa-for-sale scheme’ with the Chinese financing McAuliffe’s own business.”

 

McAuliffe denied wrongdoing in a statement late Saturday night and said he was not aware of the SEC investigation until contacted by The Washington Post.

 

But that’s the latest in a string of damaging stories about McAuliffe’s business dealings that have boosted Republican hopes of holding the Virginia governorship.

 

Jindal called on his counterpart at the Democratic Governors Association, Vermont Gov. Peter Shumlin, to look for an alternative candidate. This obviously will not happen, but the call is bold enough to generate more attention for the underlying story.

 

“As the governor of Louisiana, this scam’s so bad it would even embarrass politicians in Louisiana,” he said. “This is beyond the pale.”

"McAuliffe denied wrongdoing in a statement late Saturday night and said he was not aware of the SEC investigation until contacted by The Washington Post."

Anyone who knows McAuliffe who is one of the best at digging up dirt, slinging it and making mountains out of molehills knows that statement is a pile.

Well I'm glad we have finally straightened out. I of course believe him. Why would he lie about something so insignificant as this? Of course I also believe Bill Clinton never had sex with that woman, Barack Obama never heard Jeremiah Wright make statement that are racist, and the moon landing was faked.
