No he did not. A Latino Advocacy Group ran those ads against Gillespie's (R) Latino stereotyping ads. Northam stated that he understood why a Latino group would respond in the way they did to Gillespie's ads. The ads were not paid for or approved by the Northam campaign.

No, they did not partner with the group; however, Northam did acknowledge that the Latino community was very insulted by Ed Gillespie's Latino stereotyping and fear mongering in the GOP ads and understood why they would create their own ads in such a way. It was a tit-for-tat ad. STOP LYING.

Did he disown it or did he benefit from it?

November 7, 2017, Democratic Ralph Northam defeated Republican Ed Gillespie, winning by the largest margin for a Democrat since 1985.

Northam became the 73rd governor of Virginia. The election had the highest voter turnout percentage in a Virginia gubernatorial election in twenty years with 47% of the state's constituency casting their ballot.

He acknowledged that Gillespie's ads used stereotypes in his ads to portray all immigrants, legal or otherwise, as dangerous. I supposed he sympathized with the Latino group who made they ad because [b]they[b] felt insulted by Gillespie.

If Northam benefitted from the Latino group's ad, it was because Virginia residents also agreed with the Latino group's ad and did not like Gillespie's "Trumpian" campaign style.

That is very different from you telling the lie that he partnered with them to make the ad or produced the ad in any way.

But I suspect you will not admit you're wrong about anything you NEVER do. So please, don't continue to waste your precious keystrokes on me.

Apparently because Ed Gillespie ran on fear mongering and Trumpian hate tactics of which Virginia had no more stomach for. Which then repeated itself in the midterm elections. Re: Corey Stewart.

Bottom line, Democrats voted in either a black face or a KKK wearing governor who naturally was pointing a finger away from himself.

Fair enough but it takes two to tango and there were at least a couple pages of both you going back and forth.

Yup. Letting a baby die from lack of food and hydration is criminally negligent homicide - not " abortion."

And where do we draw the line on less-than-perfect? What if you get one with mild cerebral palsy, like my cousin? Or one with a slightly misshapen foot due to position in utero? Or, hell, what about a fourth boy, when we really wanted a girl this time?

Slippery slope.
