(FOX NEWS) -- Democratic Virginia gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe was crushed by Politico Tuesday for making up a fake joint campaign event between Republican opponent Glenn Youngkin and former President Donald Trump.
McAuliffe, who led Politico Playbook's coverage on the morning of the highly anticipated election, falsely claimed during a Monday campaign stop that Youngkin was holding an event with Trump as the race was coming to a close.
"Terry McAuliffe wanted Glenn Youngkin and Donald Trump to campaign together so badly that when it didn’t happen, McAuliffe simply invented a Youngkin-Trump event that didn’t exist," Playbook wrote. "That was a lie. Trump wasn’t in Virginia and he never campaigned with Youngkin."
