Virginia Democratic gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe has been branded a hypocrite for praising his state’s public education system despite sending four of his five children to private high schools.

‘We have a great school system in Virginia. Dorothy and I have raised our five children,’ McAuliffe declared on NBC’s Meet the Press on Sunday

One of McAuliffe’s sons went to Gonzaga College High School, in Washington D.C. where tuition costs around $25,000 a year.

Three other children attended The Potomac School in McLean, Virginia where fees are almost double at $45,650 per year for high school. His youngest child currently attends a public school in Langley, Virginia.

‘Rules for thee but not for me applies to SO MUCH’, one user on Twitter wrote, pointing out the hypocrisy.
