Virginia- McAuliffe leaves new Gov. Northam pillow cases and a hidden 3am alarm clock

RICHMOND, Va. – While Governor Ralph Northam moved into his new home, he was reminded of the close relationship he has with the outgoing Governor of Virginia Terry McAuliffe (D), WTKR reports.

According to the Washington Post, The 73rd Governor of Virginia, Ralph Northam (D), entered the bedroom of his new home at the Executive Mansion in Richmond to find two pillow cases with the 72nd Governor of Virginia’s face on it.

The pillow cases had not only McAuliffe’s face, but also read at the top, “Sleep When You’re Dead.” McAuliffe was known for not sleeping a lot in the night. He also set a hidden alarm clock that went off at 3 a.m. in the morning, waking up Northam from his sleep.



“There are pictures of the governor all over the mansion that he left for me,” Northam said at a brunch hosted by his wife on Sunday in Richmond. “Also, at 3 o’clock this morning, an alarm clock went off, which I have yet to find. I texted him and thanked him, and he said there was more to come,” said Northam to the Washington Post.

The alarm is probably in the air conditioning register or return. That's where people hide mics too. TheBlackAdder Jan 2018 #2

I'd sweep that place using two separate security firms.

it is mean-spirited and punches down. They would rather mock minorities and gays than actually use wit or structure humor.

This isn’t the first time that elected officials in Virginia have pranked their successors.

When McAuliffe was entering office, the former Republican Governor of Virginia, Robert F. McDonnell, hid an alarm clock that went off at 4 a.m. four years ago.
