Media Frenzy After Democrat Governor Allegedly Pictured In Blackface/KKK Robes

Via ZeroHedge

Virginia Governor Ralph Northam’s (D) 1984 medical school yearbook features several pictures under Northam’s name; a classic yearbook headshot, an image of Northam leaning against a car, one of him in a rural setting, and a picture of two individuals wearing blackface and KKK robes – one of whom is presumably Northam. The photo was first reported by Big League Politics and confirmed by the Virginian-Pilot which photographed the yearbook.

A half-page from the 1984 Eastern Virginia Medical School yearbook, photographed by The Virginian-Pilot on Friday, Feb. 1, 2019.

Under the photo of the men in blackface and the Klan hood are listed Northam’s alma mater, Virginia Military Institute, and his interest: “Pediatrics.” His quote is listed as “There are more old drunks than old doctors in this world so I think I’ll have another beer.”  –Virginia Pilot

According to AP, Republican state Sen. Bryce Reeves said in a statement that Northam should tender his resignation if the photo is accurate.

“I hope that this picture is inaccurate and that the Governor brings clarity to this issue. This has no place in Virginia,” said Reeves.

Northam made headlines earlier this week discussing a controversial abortion bill that would loosen restrictions in third-trimester abortions.

Meanwhile, Virginia Democratic leadership is already defending him “while it’s in poor taste…”

In 2013, Northam came under fire from civil rights groups for refusing to shake hands with his black Republican opponent.

And who could forget this controversial and ironic ad during the Virigina gubernatorial race between Northam and Republican Ed Gillespie in which a Confederate flag-toting racist – ostensibly a Gillespie voter – chased minority children in a truck?

If true, we’re sure Northam will pull a Robert Byrd (Hillary Clinton’s mentor and former “Grand Cyclops” of the KKK) and claim he’s a changed man. Or, perhaps he will pull a Kevin Spacey and choose to live his life as a gay man as a diversion.

Seeing him wrecked is great. Wish it happened sooner. Seeing dummycrats tear each other apart is great. Seeing them posing as anti-racists, only to be wrecked by pics of them dressed up as kkk or whatever is sweet.

The release of this on 1 February is absolute proof that the celebration of Black History Month is going to only become more exuberant going forward.

Republicans love an easy target; the Media a thorough, ongoing public Tar-And- Feathering, and Black folks won’t stand for anything less than a lynching.

He will not be left unpunished for his crimes.
Northam will be the poster child for this year’s sacrifice at the altar of White Guilt.

Again Governor Northam prostrated himself and said, “What is your servant, that you should regard a dead dog like me?” And the Democratic Party said ” I will scatter you among the heathen, and will draw out a sword after you: and your land shall be desolate, and your cities waste. “

The state of Virginia can truly be described as a 100% Democrat shithole. This is a place where if you are seen driving a car with kids in it and you are smoking cigarettes, the cops will pull you over and write you a ticket for $100 plus court costs. That’s probably about a $250 infraction right there. This was all before they had some Democrat slope talking about how you could butcher a birthing baby and call it abortion as long as the umbilical cord was still attached. Then, on the same day, the cunt sponsored a bill wanting to make it illegal to kill the butterflies. Man, that state has got some fucked up people in it.

It’s not their fault. The dummycrats have been moving in from MD and NY and wrecking the state. They can’t all live in DC, so they go there. The rich ones buy two houses in MD and VA and vote in both states. Most of VA is fairly conservative, but DC has been growing non-stop since 2008 and really warping the old population dynamic. Dummycrats have taken over most of the NOVA area for years, turning it into a sanctuary region for illegals and willfully ignoring and denying the skyrocketing crime caused primarily by illegals. The bullshit catholic scam charity groups have been flooding the schools with illegal alien “unaccompanied minors”, many of whom are adults posing as minors. No shit- you can have a 20-something illegal alien gangbanger from El Salvador sitting in a class full of 8th graders and he rapes one and it doesn’t get much attention. Boys will be boys and all that. Plus, it’s apparently against the rules to ask the guy for proof of age.
My neighbors in my old NOVA suburban neighborhood refused to accept the truth and willfully argued with me when I pointed out the high and growing crime rate, primarily caused by the illegal population in the nearby ghetto. They couldn’t connect the dots. The PD even played the game, artificially drawing the town police zones in such a way the most high-crime neighborhood, which was full of illegals, was a tiny circle on the map, while the highway out of town was a massive zone, ensuring that area was the high crime one, despite being a lot of shopping centers and small businesses. When the armed robberies, assaults, break-ins, and porch piracy moved from the periphery into the neighborhood proper, it was astonishing for the idiot residents, but not to me. I beat the worst of it when I left. Now I’m laughing about it every time they helplessly exclaim on their community site about the crime.
Fuck NOVA and all its dummycrat suburbanite morons. They deserve all the diversity they can swallow.

Yep, and many of the “fucked up people” have moved into the VA blue bubbles from blue states. Especially being that close to Babylon on the Potomac, the parasite magnet from sea to shinning sea.

That’s a problem all over the Red states becoming diversely poisoned by the legal blue refugees and their inevitable PP (purple poisoning).

From what I can tell frigg’in illegals, home grown teat suckers, liberal asshole Yankees and assorted other blue state legal refugees have poured into Virgina blue bubbles and the wealthy burbs.

I’m a Mt. Carmel PA. COPPERHEAD Coalclinker – picked coal as a boy, keep a small bucket of it to remind me of the life my Grandpap, Uncles and Father led. Come from four generations of Irish coal miners on the Mick side of my American Mick/Wop duality. Hell, WW2 probably saved some of their lives, they all enlisted and got out of the BLACK LUNG mines and into the relative safety of war.

Grew up on coal mine and war stories, 16 tons and what do you get? Purple hearts were a rite of passage.

I’m 30 minutes from the VA border in NC and stay out of the cities and the tainted spoiled burbs. My take is Virgina flyover countryside is fine, just like the rest of America.

gilberts,

My Uncle Red (82nd Airborne WW2, Purple Heart…he was shot in the ass) won one of the first cases for Black Lung against the mines. It was a landmark case and he did it without a lawyer.

I never mined, but when I left for Nam in 68 he put a hand on each shoulder, grabbed my eyes with his and said: “Mark, always keep your head lower then your ass.”

I found that was good advice.

My mom’s family came out of Pittsburgh. They were poor folk and floated down the Ohio on a flatboat around 1869 to work in the new iron-cased blast furnaces opening in the Hanging Rock Iron Region. There’s been lots of pain and sadness here for the last 30 years, and this week they finally officially announced the end of our steel industry.

I was lucky enough to work with Pat once in a little venue up in Michigan called The Historic Holly Hotel. It was a notoriously tough gig because the audience were regulars who knew comedy and if you did hack material they’d eat you alive. He was, no joke, one of the funniest guys I’ve ever seen. Low key, but really smart. That bit above is amazingly funny on so many levels. I miss the kind of America that could laugh at itself. You saw the people in that audience- blacks included- laughing their asses off because it was funny. Now it’s an entire society of bitter old maids screeching at kids to get off the lawn.

As we continue to wait patiently for CNN to realize their widely covered accusations during the elction of trumps recording of him being so rayciss using the word “Nigger” caught on tape. Nevr to be proven seen or heard, Yet here we have proof and even an apology from a DEMOCRAT Governor but all the liberal msm CNN puts out propaganda claiming in the first / initial broadacst of the story that the Virginia Governer is, wait for it…….is a republican! That way they can let the rumor get out then a week later at 2 am one evening they redact it between The afro sporting BoB Ross painting show and a Trump rerun speech guaranteeing no leftist snowflake libtard is watching the redaction and continue belive its a Republican……obama signed the law allowing and making legal govt propaganda under the repealling of the Smith-Mundt Act. Obama set it up so he can stay in Washington, make millions selling his services to fuck with Trump and put out fake narratives for the deep state and have the tax payers pay him for it while secretly campaigning for his husband. Why Trump has not addressed this makes me confirm my new belief that Trump is a shill and was a purposefully elected distraction while the deep state sets us up for repeal of the 2nd amendment and crushing of the first amend. So, their 2030 agenda for socialism takeover timeline is achieved. They will allow us to live under socialism until all the guns rust, and the next generations refuses guns, has never seen or touched a gun, and does not even know how to hold load or shoot a gun. Then the dictatorship shall commence. They will simply wait us patriots out. Knowing if they move too fast and real patriots lose everything they will fight since they have lost everything. But as long as patriots have something to lose they are all docile little paper tigers. They talk about 70% tax rates now to indoctrinate the millenials so when it happens in 30 years it wont be a shocker.wow these boomer think they will never grow old nor die. They do not realize they will never achive the power, fame, and fortune they seek anytime while they are alive.

This is really hilarious! You can bet that this creep Northam has spent his career groveling to the leftists and Progressives, begging forgiveness for being a white man. Every crackpot scheme they could think up he supported. He turned his back on his own people and dragged the honor and history of the great Commonwealth of Virginia, the Old Dominion, the Mother of President’s, in the mud. He thought he would ‘get ahead” that way, and he did – for a while. See how many of his leftist “friends” stand up for him now. He is a joke, a fire hydrant for every kook CNN reporter to piss on, a moral leper. He will be lucky if he can support himself in the future performing fellatio on the street corner for a quarter a pop. Bums and winos will cross the street to avoid him.

Sharp thinking. Normally as a Democrat, he would be immune to something like this and all would be forgiven. As a sanity check, I pulled up the web site for our local news which is a good barometer for what narratives the string pullers want to push (and which to suppress.) Sure enough on front page is an article how it was unforgivable, and he’s lost all support from his fellow liberals. In the same article they talk about how the endearing Lt Gov is a great family man and only the 2nd black guy to be elected to state office.
