Behold: that awkward moment when Terry McAuliffe, Clinton BFF and Democrat candidate for Virginia governor, stormed out of what was supposed to be a lengthy interview with ABC when the reporter failed to ask questions that he liked.

In the clip, a clearly frustrated McAuliffe slams Republican Glenn Youngkin's claim that election integrity is a top issue for Virginians voting this November, saying the number one priorities for the commonwealth are actually “health care, COVID, education, and jobs.”

When the interviewer answers by saying, “OK, one last question,” McAuliffe abruptly stands and begins walking off the set, saying, “Ok, that’s it.”

“You should’ve asked better questions,” he says as he storms off.  “Ask questions viewers care about.”
 

McAuliffe, who remains neck-and-neck with Youngkin according to some of the latest polls, has faced an uphill battle mostly against himself in recent weeks, forced to defend himself against his comments saying that parents shouldn’t be dictating what schools teach their children.

“I’m not going to let parents come into schools and actually take books out and make their own decisions,” McAuliffe fired off during a debate with Youngkin last month. “I don’t think parents should be telling schools what they should teach.”

“Listen, we have a [Board of Education] working with the local school boards to determine the curriculum for our schools,” he added later in an interview. “You don’t want parents coming in in every different school jurisdiction saying, ‘This is what should be taught here’ and, ‘This is what should be taught here.’”
