Longtime Clinton ally Terry McAuliffe, the governor of Virginia, is scolding Hillary Clinton for improper use of email while she was secretary of state. But the former DNC chair is glad Clinton is apologizing.
“I’m glad she came out yesterday and today and said it was a mistake and she shouldn’t have done it, and I agree with that,” McAuliffe told the Roanoke Times in an interview.
“She shouldn’t have done it — she should have had two separate systems, as most people do.”
“I think you should always have separate accounts. I have separate accounts. I carry two phones — one has my state information on it, then I have a phone for my personal,” he added. “I think it’s important that you do that. You’ve got to keep them both separated.”
The governor said he saw “nothing nefarious” in Clinton’s decision to conduct business on her personal device.
“I think it was a privacy issue for her,” he said. “But a lot of data gets moved back and forth,” he said, referring to his own experience in running the commonwealth. “You cannot co -mingle the two at any time, and we are very serious about that.”

McAuliffe was integral in Clinton’s last presidential run in 2008.
