Dems Worry Northam Could Derail Using Race Against Trump in 2020

The Associated Press

By Kristina Wong

Democrats are worried that Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam’s racist yearbook photo will hurt their efforts to use race as an issue against President Trump in 2020, according to a report.

“A racist photo in Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam’s yearbook entry has become a national political concern for Democrats, threatening to complicate their bid to draw a sharp contrast with President Trump and the Republican Party on race ahead of the 2020 election,” the Washington Post reported Monday.

Democrat lawmakers and activists swiftly called for Northam’s resignation, signaling that their party would not tolerate racism. But Northam’s refusal to leave “could complicate the message,” an anonymous Democrat lawmaker told the Post.

Northam on Friday apologized for appearing in the photo on his 1984 medical school yearbook page, after it was published in Big League Politics. It showed two people — one in blackface, and the other in a Ku Klux Klan robe. Another photo showed that his nickname was “Coonman.”

But on Saturday, he held a press conference where he denied he was in the photo altogether, but then admitted to wearing blackface during a Michael Jackson moonwalk contest.

The photos raised questions about the time Northam refused to shake the hand of an African American opponent for lieutenant governor of Virginia in 2013. Then-opponent E.W. Jackson tweeted on Sunday, “And that wasn’t Northam in the video of him refusing to shake my hand. That was his evil twin!”

The resurfacing of the photos comes at an awkward time for Democrats — when 2020 hopefuls are announcing their bids, and hoping to run on racial inequality.

“We … expect candidates — and the broader progressive movement — to commit to an inclusive and motivating message in 2020 that addresses both economic and racial inequality,” Maria Urbina, Indivisible’s national political director, told Politico in November.

After Northam’s photos were published Friday, 2020 hopefuls Sens. Kamala Harris (CA), Cory Booker (NJ), Elizabeth Warren (MA), Bernie Sanders (VT), Kirsten Gillibrand (NY), and Julian Castro called for Northam to resign.

Gillibrand first called on Northam to explain, but then later called on him to resign.

The photo could also hurt Democrats with African American voters, with whom Trump has made inroads.

“The recent, more explicit rhetoric on race among potential 2020 Democratic hopefuls … is at least partly strategic. Black voters are likely to be decisive in many 2020 primaries, especially in the South,” wrote Politico’s Alex Thompson.

A former Hillary Clinton adviser texted Thompson, “It’s fairly simple–s/he who wins the black vote, wins the primary.”

But there was “anger and sadness” among some African Americans in Virginia in response to Northam’s photo, according to another article in the Post.

“Honestly, he was in med school, so he’s not a child,” Pierre Hartgrove, 55, told the Post.

“I thought he was a good guy, actually. Does he not really like blacks? All these years, did he get the votes from us, did he say to his buddies, ‘Guess what? I got the Negroes’ votes!’ We don’t know,” he said.

Here We Go-> Patriots Player Says No to White House Visit, “Nah Man, They Don’t Want Me in the White House” (VIDEO)

The Patriots won the Super Bowl on Sunday 13-3 against the Los Angeles Rams — after a boring, low-scoring game, Patriots safety Duron Harmon snubbed President Trump and praised Barack Obama.

Patriots safety Duron Harmon told TMZ Sunday night that he will not be going to the White House to attend the traditional Super Bowl victory visit with his teammates where the team would be honored in a ceremony by President Trump.

“Nah man. They don’t want me in the White House, man” Harmon said.

The TMZ reporter then brought up the Golden State Warriors who recently went to visit Obama after their win.

“Hey man, that would be dope, man” Harmon said of meeting with Obama rather than going to Trump’s White House.

“Hey Obama, man, come holler at me, man! We love you over here, man!” Harmon added.

Barack Obama did absolutely nothing to help the black community during his 8 years in the White House. Black unemployment was at an all time high, black home-ownership was at a record low, but Duron Harmon just loves Obama!

In contrast, under President Trump, black unemployment is at a record low,but Orange Man bad.

Remember That Gay Couple Married by RBG? They Just Got Charged With Rape

The pair stands accused of raping a young man at a party in Houston.

By Peter D’Abrosca

Missing Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg used her power as a justice of the peace to marry a gay couple in 2014.

Tuesday, that couple was charged with rape.

“David Daniels, 52, and his conductor husband Scott Walters, 37, were arrested in Michigan, where they live, on Tuesday night,” according to DailyMail.

RBG made headlines when she married the couple less than five years ago. A year later, the Supreme Court upheld a ruling that allowed gay marriage to become the law of the land.

The couple stands accused of raping Samuel Schultz after a performance in Houston in 2010, three years BEFORE their publicity stunt with Ginsburg. They will be extradited to Texas to face the charges.

“Schultz came forward last August with his allegations, waiving his anonymity as the possible victim of a sex crime to describe how the couple allegedly preyed on him. He reported his claims to the Houston Police Department at the same time,” according to the report.

He described a grizzly scene in which he blacked out after being offered a drink, only to wake up sore and bleeding.

“Daniels has been accused in the past of soliciting men on Grindr and was reported to police in 2017 for allegedly asking a man to perform a sex act through the app,” the report said. “He has also previously faced complaints from students at the University of Michigan, where he is a tenured professor including one who sued him in October.”

The University of Michigan has not fired him, but instead said it would “closely monitor the situation.”

Smoking Gun? – Northam College Photo Shows Man in Same Plaid Pants as the Blackface-KKK Yearbook Photo

By Jim Hoft

Screen Shot 2019-02-04 at 11.10.09 AM

A picture from Democrat Virginia Governor Ralph Northam’s medical school yearbook surfaced on Friday showing two men, one in a KKK hood and robe and one in ‘blackface’ on the same page as Northam.

The photo was first published by Big League Politics on Friday and later confirmed by other outlets such as WaPo and The Virginian Pilot.

One half of the page shows Ralph Northam wearing a suit jacket and a tie, a photo of him in a cowboy hat and boots and another of him leaning up against a convertible.

On Saturday Governor Ralph Northam said the photo was not of him and Friday was the first time he saw the photo in blackface.

Now this…

Photos of Northam at medical school show him standing with a man in the same plaid pants as the KKK-blackface photo.

Here is a Northam friend in the plaid pants in a regular college shot —  And then in the blackface shot.

The pants were featured in another Northam college shot.

But the man on the right is wearing the same plaid pants as the blackfaced fellow in the yearbook.

The pants somehow made it on Northam’s yearbook page.

Keith Matthews is the plaid pants. Northam is taller than him. He can’t be the KKK guy. Whatever. I just roll with it. Drama for them is fine by me. pic.twitter.com/B3ZHuGa4eV

PARTY OF NO: ONCE OPPOSED, DEMOCRATS NOW BACK WARS JUST TO THWART TRUMP

The poll analysis called it a “stunning reversal” of years of results where Democrats wanted troops withdrawn from U.S.-led wars

By Paul Bedard

Democratic voters, long opposed to the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, now disagree with President Trump’s call to withdraw troops in Afghanistan and Syria, according to a new survey.

And the likely reason they have flipped is simply to oppose the president.

Screen Shot 2019-02-04 at 10.58.18 AM

On Trump’s Syria move, the latest Zogby Analytics Poll found that 52 percent of Democrats oppose the troop withdrawal. Just 31 percent agree with Trump’s move.

The poll analysis called it a “stunning reversal” of years of results where Democrats wanted troops withdrawn from U.S.-led wars.

“Is this a shift in policy on the part of Democratic leaders, or Democrats disagreeing with any proposal put forth by the president? Are the Democrats the new party of ‘no,’ and willing to obstruct anything the president does out of mere spite? Presently, the data isn’t painting a different picture,” said the analysis from Jonathan Zogby.

Among all voters surveyed, his poll found that more back withdrawing the troops from Syria and Afghanistan.

But Zogby said his survey revealed the shift by Democrats, an important sign that indicates the degree of opposition the party has in accepting anything Trump does.

(Zogby Analytics)

In two separate questions, one on withdrawing troops from Syria and the other on withdrawing troops from Afghanistan, he found the same shift by Democrats.

From his analysis:

Over the last fifteen years, our polling of voters in the U.S. has shown that most Democrats vehemently opposed the U.S. wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. In a stunning reversal of past polling, a majority of Democrats disagree with President Trump’s plan to withdraw American troops from Syria and a plurality of Democrats disagree with the president on removing troops from Afghanistan. A third (31%) of Democrats agreed (strongly and somewhat agree combined) with Trump, while half (52%) disagreed (strongly and somewhat disagree combined). These numbers were much different than the overall voter figures: 46% of likely voters agreed with Trump, while 37% ‘disagreed’, and 17% were not sure.

Our polling has shown that in past years, Democrats have, like the president, wanted the troops to come home. In 2011, Zogby Analytics polled Democratic voters and 74% ‘thought it was a bad idea’ to have gone to war with Iraq and 57% thought the same about the war in Afghanistan. Additionally, only 21% of Democrats thought ‘the Afghani people are better off than they were before U.S. led-forces invaded and occupied their country.’

TRUST THE MAN: Here’s A Growing Map of Deep State Conspirators Who Have Been Fired

By Patrick Howley

CAP

President Donald Trump continues to solidify the American people’s position in the federal government.

Former FBI director James Comey is reeling from the FBI’s release of information pertaining to his exit from the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

The forms reveal a mad dash by the Department of Justice in the days after Comey’s spring 2017 firing to retrieve secret information from Comey’s office and to figure out the extent of what Comey was actually doing as FBI director.

Comey signed the Sensitive Compartmented Information Nondisclosure Agreement, which makes it all the more serious that Comey violated sections 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, and 13 by illegally handing over presidential briefing memorandums (page 5 and 6 of FBI release). (READ: Comey Refuses To Deny He Leaked Classified Info)

Comey is not alone in his government unemployment.

An interactive mapping project has sprung up on mindmeister to track Deep State conspirator cells that have been fired in the age of President Donald Trump.

Governor Who Endorsed Infanticide Received $2 Million From Planned Parenthood

By Tom Pappert

Screen Shot 2019-02-01 at 11.08.37 AM

Public records reveal Virginia Governor Ralph Northam, who endorsed infanticide as a form of abortion on Wednesday, received almost $2 million in campaign contributions from Planned Parenthood.

Research reveals nearly $2 million in campaign contributions from the taxpayer funded pro-abortion group Planned Parenthood sent to Northam, who endorsed a bill that would allow new mothers to determine whether they wanted to keep a child after delivery, essentially legalizing infanticide.

Northam received $1.996 million from Planned Parenthood Virginia over the course of five years, with most of the donations coming in during his 2017 election campaign. These include massive cash injections of $338,852, $278,247, $255,641, and other similar amounts in the final days before the election.

Planned Parenthood claims it is a woman’s health clinic focusing on prenatal care, but an author claims it admitted last year that it is “paid to do abortions” in a new book.

Big League Politics reported:

Loudon recounted a story about calling a Missouri Planned Parenthood and asking is she could send a picture of her family for the staff to keep on file, in case any expectant mother would consider adopting out her child.

“We are not in the business of adoptions,” a staffer told her. “I suggest if you want an adoption, you call an adoption clinic. We are paid to do abortions.”

Loudon and her family continued their quest to find a Down syndrome child to adopt, and contacted an adoption agency to ask why there were seemingly no Down syndrome children available for adoption anywhere.

“They’re all aborted today,” one official told her. “Genetic testing has made it so that the only people having babies with Down syndrome are those who decided to keep (the baby) even after they know.”

The shocking infusion of Planned Parenthood cash to Northam’s campaign may suggest why he gleefully endorsed the Virginia bill that would have made it legal for untrained individuals to perform abortions, and would have legalized the murder of children after their birth.

After the horrifying bill and Northam’s statement became national news, the bill was defeated, with Virginia officials pledging it would never be voted on or even make it out of its subcommittee.

CNN commentator calls Trump ‘antithesis of Christ’s teachings’, faces social media retribution

Screen Shot 2019-02-01 at 10.38.48 AM

Democratic strategist Maria Cardona went after White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders about “election interference” of a much higher order, arguing over God’s plans for Donald Trump.

CNN’s OutFront became the unlikely platform for a debate on divine will on Wednesday, when guests were asked to discuss Sarah Sander’s stated belief that God himself had chosen Trump to become president.

Cardona was not happy with Sanders’ interpretation of God’s design, responding that if Trump’s victory was preordained, “it is because he wanted to punish us for taking our democracy for granted, and for not ensuring that every person got out there to vote.”

Despite having personally chosen to work on Hillary Clinton’s campaign, Cardona was unable to figure out why God would choose someone “who doesn’t understand the words truth, honesty, integrity, honor, forgiveness.”

“I could go on and on about how this president is actually the antithesis of Jesus Christ’s teachings and anything that real Christians […] would believe in,” she continued.

Commentators were quick to criticize her authority in making such a statement. While Cardona describes herself as a Catholic, her liberal positions on abortion rights, gay marriage and divorce are not exactly in keeping with the religious canon.

Screen Shot 2019-02-01 at 10.42.03 AM

While many who engaged in the debate agreed that a “higher power” had influenced the elections, not everyone thought that power was other-wordly.

Screen Shot 2019-02-01 at 10.43.57 AM

Cardona quickly hit back against her “hypocritical” haters, even dropping some paraphrased bible quotes to get her point across.

Screen Shot 2019-02-01 at 10.46.06 AM

Cardona is not the first to try to defeat Sanders on her own terms. Just last week, Democratic rising star Ocasio-Cortez quoted the bible in the course of an argument with the press secretary about the role of humanity in combating climate change.
