VA Democrat Gov. Northam may now wish he too....had never been born
2019-02-02
[Breitbart] Virginia Democrat Gov. Ralph Northam apologized in a statement on Friday for a medical school yearbook showing two men ‐ one of them of himself ‐ in blackface and the other in Klu Klux Klan attire. Northam did not state which person he was in the inflammatory photo.
Northam released a statement on Friday admitting to having the photo included in his medical school yearbook. The Virginia Democrat Gov. also admitted to appearing in the photo; however, he did not say whether he was the man in blackface or in Klu Klux Klan attire.

Breitbart News also reported how, during the 2017 gubernatorial campaign, Northam decried Republican nominee Ed Gillespie’s "racist rhetoric and fearmongering."

#22  I think the best part was where the campaign fliers for the gov-nah omitted the Lt. Gov.

#20  Ralph Northam wore blackface to imitate Michael Jackson? Michael Jackson looked white even though he was black.
The plot thickens

#19  When Northam won the Virginia governor’s race, in November, and enough Democratic legislative candidates won to turn the suburbs from red to blue, “I found myself pleased,” Kristol said.


What an ass.

#18  If the GOP had this before the election, they needed to use it. Playing by the genteel rules is out the window now that the Left has shown their true selves.

Hit them fast, hit them hard, hit them again and again, until they stop moving. They will most certainly do that to you.

#17  This is the guy all the NeverTrumper assholes supported and voted for instead of the pro-Trump GOP candidate. The abortion "kill em at birth" wasnt bad enough for them to apologize. But this? Even this isnt enough to make them admit just how wrong they were in acting out their Trump hatred instead of voting for the better candidate.

Looking at you Bill Kristol. They need to kick your ass OUT of the GOP.

#13  #3 Welcome to the Inverted Age.

#11 I bet the Gillespie campaign knew about this and deliberately stayed their hand. It would be rude do otherwise.

And let's not forget what a GOPe turd Gillespie was.

#12  Standard Republican strategy would be to make no comment on this unseemly incident. Fortunately, Donald J. Trump will be delivering the State of the Union Address on Tuesday.

#11  It's really too bad that this only came out in the last year of his term, rather than during the campaign when he was accusing his opponent of racism.

#10  I could wish that youthful follies, which in adulthood are seen by the parties involved as stupid at best, would be ignored as being various paths to mature wisdom. But it is only fair that the politics of destruction is applied equally to both politicial parties.

tl;dr and also less politely: Eat it, biatches!

#9  You know, all the Dems have to do to fix the Chicago murder rate is classify them as 50th trimester abortions. They should be able to get down with that.

#8  Infanticide will kill many, many, many more blacks than the KKK ever did. And that is OK with the debased left.

#7  there is a skeleton in Kamela's closet.

Is that a euphemism for Willie Brown burying his bone?

Oh oh! Kamala Harris sez:

Leaders are called to a higher standard, and the stain of racism should have no place in the halls of government. The Governor of Virginia should step aside so the public can heal and move forward together.

Karma says there is a skeleton in Kamela's closet.

#5  The Governor is being kept comfortable. The resuscitation of his political career is being discussed. But it is doubtful that the party actually desires a resuscitation.
