Hillary Clinton and U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Saturday night joined a host of other prominent Democrats in calling for Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam to resign amid a firestorm over a photo showing a man in blackface and another in Ku Klux Klan garb in his 1984 medical school yearbook page.

"This has gone on too long. There is nothing to debate. He must resign," Clinton wrote in a Twitter message.

**SNIP**

Interviews conducted by the Virginian-Pilot of Norfolk with EVMS alumni indicated that students around the time the Democratic governor attended the school were each given a half-page to submit their own photos.

He wouldn’t resign over murdering babies, so he has to think not that an old racist picture horsing around is no big deal. Here’s hoping he holds on. How wonderful would it be if the Democrat nominee next year can’t campaign with the Democrat governor of Virginia? Awkward!

no one who saw the yearbook in 1984 was bothered by the photos?
Who submitted the photo if not Northam , where is the responsible yearbook editor and staff?

Hillary has done the equivalent of blackface herself by using stereotypical black speech and accent.

Ace reporters at the Virginian-Pilot of Norfolk unearthed the bad news for Northam:
EVMS alumni indicated that when Northam attended, students personally selected and submitted their own yearbook photos.

Which makes perfect sense-----how would the school have gotten Northam's pictures unless he personally had a hand in it?

And why would the school put the blackface picture on Northam's yearbook page if....as he says....it wasnt him?

Funny how Northam’s refusal to shake E.W. Jackson’s hand, a very personal insult, didn’t count at all as a racist act to the permanently outraged, but a photo of some questionable costume choices induced virtue-signaling of the highest magnitude.

I’m not ignoring the far greater importance of his abortion stance which is also of the racist order considering which race/ethnic groups are the majority of abortion victims. I just find it odd that it’s okay to show disrespect for a black man during a live televised debate, but it’s career-ending to try to look like one in a photo.

Clinton to help raise money for Va. gubernatorial candidate
September 27, 2017

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is helping raise money for the Democratic candidate in Virginia’s closely watched race for governor.

An invitation obtained by The Associated Press says Clinton is the featured guest at a fundraiser for Lt. Gov. Ralph Northam in New York on Oct. 4.

But the guy whose hand Northam didn’t want to shake was a Republican, so that makes it OK.

Of course, if the Republican had refused to shake hands with the Democrat, now THAT would have been racist.

See how Big Media’s double standard works?

Republicans are always racist, Democrats always get a pass.

Trump’s late-term abortion warning in 2016 debate against Clinton goes viral

A video from the final presidential debate in October 2016 in Las Vegas, Nev., circulated on social media Friday, showing then-candidate Trump blasting former Secretary of State Clinton over her stance on abortion, describing in graphic terms what he alleged to be her position on the issue.

“With what Hillary is saying, in the ninth month, you can take the baby and rip the baby out of the womb of the mother just prior to the birth of the baby,” Trump said. “Now you can say that that’s okay, and Hillary can say that that’s okay, but it’s not okay with me.”

He continued: “Because based on what she’s saying, and based on where she’s going and where she’s been, you can take the baby and rip the baby out of the womb in the ninth month, on the final day. And that’s not acceptable.”

That's rich. I thought the Clintons' favorite line is it's gone on too long, it's now in the past, let's move on.

Excuse me! What business is it of theirs? Gov. Northam is the Governor of Virginia. Neither Hilary Clinton nor Rep. Ocasio-Cortez is from Virginia.

Lt. Gov Justin Fairfax has been carefully groomed. It has been determined that it is his time. McAlliff stumbled, Northam stepped in scat. The ascendency has been given the nod. Heck, the NYT even published a well conditioned bio this morning, just in case the prolitarite has been uninformed.

The Democrats sure posture like the Politburo.

As long as we are up and at it, let’s string Maher up for his fried chicken mocking of Rep. Will Hurd (R-Tx.)!

Seriously, what is the difference.

What a bunch of damn hypocrats! They talk about being inclusive, but they hate anyone who doesn’t bow to their political correctness. Meanwhile, they brutally murder babies in the womb while they claim women’s choice and rights while denying right to life among those poor innocent babies! I am so mad I wish God would just condemn us all because we surely deserve it!

I’m amazed at thes virtue signalers calling on Northam to resign over pics in a 1984 college yearbook, when the REAL issue is his demonic attitudes over infanticide.
