"Democratic Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam is under fire for a racist photo from his past, but he was quick to slam Republican nominee Ed Gillespie as racist in 2017.

Gillespie was running against Northam in the 2017 Virginia gubernatorial election, and Northam relied on the left’s typical accusations of “racism” and “bigotry.”

The Republican candidate was strong on crime and illegal immigration, especially with regard to sanctuary cities and the barbaric MS-13 gang."

Why do you conservatives always lump all Democrats together as if every last person who voted democrat thinks alike and have the same values and same reasons for voting democrat?
It’s not all that easy . We all have our reasons.
Personally I think this is an unfair attack on Northam
And even Democrats are attacking him! It’s a knee jerk , automatic, thoughtless response.

🙄🙄⬆️

The Governor's race really was not fought and won in Virginia by Virginians. So much outside money and influence flooded the State. The weight of the DNC and Planned Parenthood seemed to be behind every insult and ad.
I'm actually surprised this was the first time the yearbook was exposed. I would have thought in the nasty fray of the election, it would have been used against Northam. Virginia might have gone solidly RED again if it had been used.

I do agree with you about this being an unfair attack.

From what I read somewhere, the amount of money for oppo research wasn't enough to go that deep into his background.

Personally I think the RNC decided they had not a good chance in Virginia because of the upheaval that was Charlottesville - so they chose to spend money in other races. Especially with Gillespie ads portraying him as a white supremacist and President Obama supporting that rhetoric and campaigning for Northam.

Conservatives don’t all think alike.
I have seen evidence in my state of very open minded conservatives who would allow everyone to make their own decisions about social issues and religion , etc. and not condemn them . Good Example don’t you think?
