Reminder: Ralph Northam Won After Calling Ed Gillespie Racist
By Tyler O'Neil February 1, 2019

On Friday, news broke that Gov. Ralph Northam (D-Va.) had a photo of him either in blackface or a Ku Klux Klan hood featured in his medical school yearbook. After a week of outrage over Northam's comments endorsing infanticide in cases of botched abortion, only this scandal finally led the governor to apologize.

Yet the news is particularly horrific because Northam ran a smear campaign against Ed Gillespie in 2017, and won the Virginia governor race after tarring Gillespie as a white nationalist.

He sent out a disgusting mailer (which I received in the mail) tying both President Donald Trump and Ed Gillespie to the white nationalists in Charlottesville, Va.

Later, an ad presented Gillespie as a genocidal white supremacist. Northam reported the ad as an "in-kind" donation to his campaign.

The current governor at the time, Terry McAuliffe, accused Gillespie of having run the "most racist" campaign in Virginia history. Yes, he suggested Gillespie's campaign was more racist than the secessionist movement supporting slavery, the segregationists, and the opposition to interracial marriage. That's how ridiculous it got.

I don't know if Northam should resign over this. It seems he has decided not to. But at the very least, he should apologize to Ed Gillespie.

Would have been nice had our side done this BEFORE the election.

Yeah, but it took the Kavanaugh travesty to make people realize that high school yearbooks were fair game, although they really shouldn't be.  College? iffy.

Up Next:   some coed will surface claiming "Coonman" raped her at a drunken frat party 35 years ago.

Jeez, they got George Allen for saying "Macaca"!

That's hilarious.  The media so much wanted this guy to be the "enemy" because being part of "our side" is bad optics.

It would totally serve him right.  If the democrats are embarrassed enough about Ralphie, they will not hesitate to drag someone up to claim something like that.

Northam is gonna be hard to get rid of.  He's now saying that he is not in the pictures of him.

It will be fun to see how this plays out.

CHARLOTESVILLE VA.  Both sides were created by SOROS, through  Jason Kessler, who also created O.W.S. for SOROS.  That was just to smear white people and TRUMP. Who won ELLIS ISAND AWARD for not being racist.

Terry McAuliffe used to be DNC chair. In 2016, Terry released 206 K felons from prison, in VA.  to vote for Hillary. 

DEMON-RATS STOP AT NOTHING FOR POWER.  They know how to smear very well.


Sorry...

1986: Trump, Rosa Parks, Muhammad Ali received ‘Ellis Island’ award
SEPTEMBER 4, 2016.      BY KYLE OLSON

No one accused Donald Trump of being a racist until he decided to run for president and became a threat to Hillary Clinton’s return to power.

In 1986, Trump joined several other prominent Americans, such as Rosa Parks and Muhammad Ali, as recipients of an “Ellis Island Award.”

One suspects if Trump was a racist, there’s no way he would have posed for a photo with those two.

The New York Times reported on October 16, 1986:

Eighty Americans from 42 ethnic groups were named yesterday as recipients of the Ellis Island Medal of Honor by the Statue of Liberty-Ellis Island Foundation.

The medals will be presented to the recipients, all either naturalized or native Americans, at a ceremony Oct. 27 on Ellis Island. That is the day before the 100th anniversary of the dedication of the Statue of Liberty, the final event of the 1986 Liberty Centennial observances. …

Those named yesterday were selected from more than 15,000 nominations. The winners, a mixture of prominent and relatively unknown citizens, were screened by the National Ethnic Coalition of Organizations, which was selected for the work by the foundation.

The National Ethnic Coalition of Organizations lists its reasoning behind the awards on its website:

The ELLIS ISLAND MEDALS OF HONOR are awarded annually to a group of distinguished American citizens who exemplify a life dedicated to community service. These are individuals who preserve and celebrate the history, traditions and values of their ancestry while exemplifying the values of the American way of life, and who are dedicated to creating a better world for us all.

It also lists its award recipient criteria, including:

Integrity

Passion

Gravitas

Humanitarian

Ethnic Heritage

If Trump was a racist then, why would he have been honored by such an organization?
