Embattled Virginia Governor, Ralph Northam (D-VA), referred to people that came to America as slaves from Africa as “indentured servants from Africa” during an interview with CBS News’ Gayle King on Sunday.

It is not often that you get to watch a political self-immolation.
If I was a black man I would insist that he remained governor. They’ll be able to pound this pinata for anything they want whenever they want. They won’t even have to hit him very hard, he’ll be dropping goodies on his own.
Is it fair to say that the only reason he is keeping his job is that he favors infanticide, as dictated by his Planned Parenthood handlers?
In the first 100 years, many many Europeans came to the colonies as indentured servants... They did not consider themselves to be defined as slaves...

He’s in competition with AOC for the dumbest remark of the week.
In 1619 the first boatload of Africans were technically indentured servants to work for a specified term of years. The first official slave owner was an African immigrant, perhaps formerly one of those indentured servants.
