The VA State Police basically called Gov. Terry McAuliffe a liar


One of the outstanding issues in the wake of the violence in Charlottesville this weekend is the conduct of the Virginia State Police and how the two sides were able to confront each other, leading to the death of Heather Heyer.

Clash between protesters and counter protesters. Police says "We'll not intervene until given command to do so." 
Time for some answers, governor:
