It’s hard to tell if this Washington Post (WaPo) article is a news or an opinion piece? With the way WaPo Liberal columnists masquerading as reporters sneak their opinions into articles, it’s impossible to distinguish which is which and especially with the way the WaPo is fawning over Terry as their pick to be the next Virginia Governor. Why doesn't the WaPo even mention in any of their coverage anything about McAuliffe’s GreenTech scam illegally selling Chinese billionaires immigration US Visas as part of his sham GreenTech scheme? His Republican opponent, Glenn Younkin, spent 30 building businesses while McAuliffe's business experience was in a scam that would have made Bernie Madoff blush.

McAuliffe and his sham GreenTech Automotive (now bankrupt and out of business) were investigated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for Visa fraud when McAuliffe attempted to gain tax credits from the Virginia Economic Development Partnership (VEDP), the state’s business recruitment agency, to build GreenTech Automotive's factory in Virginia. He refused to supply VEDP with proper documentation of their business strategy and investors, which caused the VEDP to decline economic incentives for GreenTech Automotive. McAuliffe later falsely claimed during his gubernatorial run that VEDP was uncooperative and uninterested in GreenTech Automotive. 

In 2017, McAuliffe was sued for defrauding investors at GreenTech Automotive with the firm declaring bankruptcy in 2018. McAuliffe gave 32 wealthy Chinese nationals EB-5 visas in exchange for $560,000 investments into GreenTech Automotive, which exceeded the Department of Homeland Security's determined quota for GreenTech Automotive.

To be fair, shouldn’t the WaPo mention this in any of their glowing and positive articles about their darling, Terry “the Grifter” McAuliffe? Also, McAuliffe should have to report all WaPo Virginia election articles to the FEC as “in Kind” campaign donations.
