Joe Lieberman and Bill Clinton. The story behind this bizarre photo is HERE.

DNC daily talking points:
“no big deal, everybody does it”
“no intent to be offensive”
There is a HUGE difference between a white person dressing up as a black celebrity (Karl Malone, Oprah) and a white person putting on blackface. Blackface is offensive. Anyone should be able to play a character of any race, in my opinion.
How many pissed with a kkk white robe?
Democrats is Missouri didn’t care when a picture of fellow dim Governor Mel Carnahan in blackface surfaced during his Senate run.
The thing about Northam’s blackface was that it was so well done. He seems to have had a lot of practice.
I am more disturbed about Northam’s stance on post birth abortion. We need to call it what it is, murder.
