Just when you thought Virginia could not sink further... Top VA Republican Oversaw Yearbook Peppered With Blackface Photos https://talkingpointsmemo.com/news/...ersaw-yearbook-peppered-with-blackface-photos By Kate Riga February 7, 2019 1:25 pm Yearbooks have come back to haunt yet another Virginia state lawmaker this week, as evidence emerged Thursday that Senate Majority Leader Tommy Norment (R) oversaw a Virginia Military Institute yearbook in 1968 that included multiple pictures of students in blackface. According to the Virginian-Pilot, the yearbook is also peppered with slurs and racist nicknames for various students. Norment ignored reporters’ questions about the revelations Thursday. Gov. Ralph Northam (D), who late last week was discovered to have a blackface photo on his medical school yearbook page, is one of the students listed with a racist nickname in the 1981 copy of VMI’s yearbook: “Coonman.” He reportedly said that he doesn’t know the origins of the nickname. Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring also this week admitted that he posed for a photo in blackface during college. Meanwhile, Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax (D) has been credibly accused of sexual assault. Currently, the top three Democrats in Virginia politics (Northam then Fairfax then Herring) are all tarnished by political scandals. The next person in line, should the three Democrats resign, is Speaker of the House of Delegates Kirk Cox, a Republican.
Tough spot for Democrats.... they can either completely lose their "racism" narrative or give up the governorship of Virginia to a Republican who got his position as the result of a coin toss. The fact is that the Democrats founded the KKK and instituted racism on an industrial scale ever since the civil war. It was Republicans who voted for women to get voting rights, it was opposed by the Democrats. The whole idea that the Democrat party is inclusive of women and blacks is pure bunk. Racism and Sexism are weaponized fake issues for Democrats. Its all on display in Virginia. They are going use relativism to try to explain away the racism of Northam and the AG and they are doing to same for the sexual assault committed by the Lt. Governor.

Can we find two good people in Sodom and Gomorrah? Ha. This has nothing to do with "the Democrats" or "the Republicans." The people of Virginia voted for these clowns. As long as people keep voting for narcissists, the beatings will continue. All the wrong people are ruling things. The very fact these SOBs won't resign (Virginia, Venezuela, Myanmar, Syria, Zimbabwe, the list could go on and on and on) is pathognomonic of their narcissistic personality disorder. In the US, the very same thing is rampantly happening on both sides, yet we stand around pointing fingers at each other. Voters need to wake up and vote for some real humans, not the damaged egomaniacs we repeatedly choose.
It was all going so well for the left, bashing Trump, virtue signaling,winning shutdown argument, delaying the SOTU, and then...
You have to be clinically narcissistic to want to get into elective politics. And it's not like we get to choose. We have to pick between two obviously flawed alternatives. That's why negative campaigning is so effective.
I spoke with a campaign consultant. He said most people who run the first time want to run on an issue and make the campaign about that issue. They are uncomfortable about making the campaign about themselves. He said those people can't win. He said only people willing to make the campaign about themselves have a chance of winning, even at the local level.
So, the guv's not going anywhere. And the body count for victims of Stooge number 2 has just increased. Fortunately for the dems the focus will go back on to the Trump/shutdown or not pretty soon. Maybe they can find a way out during that diversion period. Good luck with that. Lemme guess, the guv stays but "it is just a sign that racism is still a problem in this country and we need to have a national dialogue on it." WOMP. womp. womp. The other thing that is still kinda interesting is that lots and lots of people - including many here- are becoming more and more vocal about defending people who might have transgressed years ago and how society needs to let it go. But the guv isnt even over on that wavelength. He is still sticking with the argument that he is not even in the picture. So he sorta got his own little rap going there. heh. Just heard Juan Williams say that "we don't want to be unfair to Fairfax the way people were unfair to Kavanaugh." Really? Try me.
Fairfax Looking at Virginia Gubernatorial Bid Despite Rape Allegations Wow. Can you believe the balls on this Fairfax clown? Yup, dems you got yourself a winner there. He states that this rape thing has been good for him. "Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax said Thursday that he is “very hopeful about the future” and “thinking very seriously” about a gubernatorial run in 2021. Fairfax, who faces sexual assault allegations by two women, said the scandal has raised his public profile for good. “Many people a year ago would not have recognized me, now they really do,” Fairfax said. “People come up to me at gas stations, they say, ‘Hey, we recognize you. We love you. We know what they are saying about you is false’ ” Not to forget - even though it is bullshit- Biden said that he was motivated to enter the presidential race because Trump said that there were good people on both sides of the Charlottesville scenario. Not a peep from him though on "other matters" in Virginia. http://nymag.com/intelligencer/2019...bernatorial-bid-despite-rape-allegations.html
