WASHINGTON D.C. – The Republican Governors Association released the following statement regarding Virginia Democrat gubernatorial candidate Tom Perriello’s remarks that compared the election of President Donald Trump to the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
“Tom Perriello’s statement comparing the election of President Donald Trump to the 9/11 terrorist attacks is shameful, outrageous, and has no place in our political discourse,” said RGA Chairman Governor Scott Walker. “Perriello should immediately apologize for his offensive comments – directly to the 9/11 families who lost loved ones in Virginia, New York and Pennsylvania on that horrific day.”

Last week, I celebrated Invest in Veterans Week with visits to veteran-owned businesses and a few veteran commendation award ceremonies.
It’s always an honor to thank our veterans for their service to our country and the work they do in their communities.
