^^^^This.

If Northam was a republican, you can be sure that the democrats would have dug up this dirt a long time ago.

The MSM goes easy on democrat candidates. They deliberately refuse to dig deeply into their pasts.

Well, the WaPo is very clear:

Also, just did a channel surf on CNN and MSNBC and they aren't hiding it at all. It's been woven into segments every 10 minutes or so.

It was Northam who removed his black running mate's picture from fliers...I think you are projecting Northam onto others.

And btw - I myself am Republican and voted for the black candidate who ran in my state (and against the white guy).. Why? Because I preferred his policies. Color was irrelevant.
Because I know very well how the Virginia GOP behaves and what they cultivate.

Wait, I am purposefully truing to incite people for saying that Northam should apologize for refusing to shake his black opponent's hand in 2013? Etc...

So you are fine with him behaving this way throughout his adult life?

I never said anything about my position, and rather conveniently, neither have you.

I think you’re trying to blow this out of proportion using feigned concern.
