McAuliffe ad slices and dices Youngkin’s comments in a misleading way

In defending the ad, the McAuliffe campaign pointed to other comments that Youngkin has said, such as those quoted in a recent Business Insider article. “In an interview with McKinsey & Company, the businessman noted that the state — then under the leadership of Democratic Gov. Ralph Northam — had a ‘high-growth tech industry, a growing health care sector, and an established manufacturing presence,’” the article said. “Back in 2019, when Virginia Tech announced it was building an innovation campus in Northern Virginia, Youngkin was equally enthused.”
