Speaking to a group of Virginia Democrats on Friday, Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe stated that likely Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton exhibits the type of leadership that is “fitting of the people that lost their lives last week,” in Charleston.

WATCH:

McAuliffe isn’t the only figure to praise a presidential candidate for their response to the tragedy at Emmanuel AME Church, but he is the first to adopt an apparently-phony southern-drawl in talking about “Chaaahhhhleston.”

Compare the previous video to his 2013 gubernatorial victory speech:

Hillary’s Friday stop was her first campaign visit to Virginia since officially announcing her candidacy back in April, despite the inevitable importance the state will hold in the 2016 election. (RELATED: Clinton Camp Forced To Lure VA Dems. With Free Tickets To Fundraiser)
