Virginia’s Democratic Governor Ralph Northam has had a bad week.
First he comes out for post-natal abortion, then tries to walk it back, and then it turns out that he appeared in either a Klan outfit or blackface back in medical school, an event immortalized in his yearbook photos.
It’s worth recalling in the wake of the Northam controversy that the “what about David Duke?” slogan of the Left is a distraction and a ruse. In fact more than 90% of all Ku Klux Klan leaders over the past 150 years have been Democrats! pic.twitter.com/1cp3XGVIfy

Immediately liberals tried to draw comparison with the Brett Kavanaugh nomination fight. (Or, even stupider, the Billy Bush tape, because they still haven’t gotten over how that “bombshell” failed to derail Trump’s campaign.) Except for the tiny detail that Northam’s offense to current norms is real, and those of Kavanaugh were entirely made up. If Kavanaugh had worn blackface, we all know he would have been forced to withdraw his nomination. But the rules are always different for Democrats.
Oh, and in college before med school, his friends called him “coonman.” Because that’s a perfectly normal nickname for a random white person to have.
After all that, Northam set out to prove that there’s no political crisis that you can’t make worse by lying about it.
First he apologized for the photo, then, the next day, claimed that he wasn’t in the photo but did dress in blackface on another occasion, namely a Michael Jackson contest.
The problem with Northam’s new modified limited hangout is the sheer stupidity of actually making things worse and less believable. So it took him three decades before he noticed an offensive photo on a two page yearbook spread that wasn’t him? Think he maybe should have addressed that a wee bit earlier? “Wow, I’ve never been in blackface or a Klan outfit! Should I tell the yearbook staff they goofed? Naaaaahhhhhhhh….”
The cherry on the top: Back in the 2017 gubernatorial election, Northam allies ran on painting opponent Ed Gillespie and Republicans as racists, including an ad where a pickup truck with a Gillespie sticker flying a confederate flag literally tries to run over black children:
Now Northam is steadfastly insisting he won’t resign despite numerous calls for him to from across the political spectrum. That’s probably the ideal outcome…for Republicans.
Do I believe people should resign over something stupid in their yearbook photos from 30 years ago? No. But do I believe that elected Democrats should resign over same? Awww, hell yes! Democrats have been the ones enabling the Social Justice Warrior mob outrage rules lo these many years, so now they can live by them. Only when they’re forced to live by their own rules will the rules change.

Conclusion: @RalphNortham must have appeared in BOTH Klan robes AND blackface at some point in the past.

The whole murdering babies thing aside, on one hand it's ridiculous to expect someone to resign for a stupid photo from 35 years ago, but on the other hand, fuck this guy. This is the game he decided to play so now he can enjoy experiencing the new rules as a suppository.🤷🏼♂️😎💥

Northam: Let's kill babies in the third trimester
Dems: Amen!
Northam: Matter of fact, let's deliver babies and leave them to die
Dems: OK
Northam: Or resuscitate and kill them
Dems: Cool cool
Northam: Btw I dressed as Michael Jackson once
Dems: DEAR GOD RESIGN YOU MONSTER

Before you rush to judge Ralph Northam, remember, context is everything. He merely posed in blackface/KKK as recently as medical school. It is a proven FACT that Brett Kavanaugh enjoys beer!

Margaret Sanger and her mission via PP was in harmony with the KKK, the democratic party and justice RBG = “Get rid of the undesirables – the negroes and as Ruth Bader Ginsberg stated “exterminate the Blacks” although Sanger also demanded that her mission never to be exposed and kept a secret.
Isn’t the issue about murdering babies even after they a born that includes ‘making it comfortable while the doc and the mother discuss either to murder this living little person or let it live’? This Is Northam’s crime – speaking out loud what they attempt to legislate into law.
This yearbook blackface and white robe is just a sideshow!
