The Case of Ralph Northam

Cartoons added by TD

The American Spectator  "Whatever is to be the ultimate fate of the wretched Governor Ralph Northam of the great commonwealth of Virginia, I wonder what he now thinks about those who use the term racism as loosely as he did in his race with Ed Gillespie. In his rabble-rousing 2017 campaign he actually rebuked Gillespie for Gillespie’s non-existent “racist rhetoric and fearmongering.” I do not recall his apologizing for that false charge in his apology-laden press conference over the weekend. Nor do I recall any apology from him about statements he made about long-term abortion during the past week. In his press conference he was apologizing for various recreations of his that occurred some 35 years ago.
"As everyone doubtless now knows, over three decades ago a picture appeared in Northam’s medical school yearbook portraying two people, one dressed in blackface, another dressed in the gothic paraphernalia of a Klansman, on his page. Claims were made that one of these bigots was Northam. The governor at first apologized for the picture. Then he denied it was he, though his apologies became even more fervent when he admitted to appearing on another occasion wearing “black shoe polish” on his face and mimicking Michael Jackson doing Jackson’s famed “moonwalk.” The roof caved in on Northam, with Republicans and Democrats in a lather to outdo each other in calling for his scalp — if I might still use the term. If I have committed an offense I, of course, apologize and that is a profuse apology, before Pocahontas gets into the act." . . .

Before Northam, Democrats Didn’t Just Dress Up as Klansmen   Shouldn't the Democrat Party be the ones to pay any reparations to Sharpton, Auntie Maxine, and Farrakhan?
