@ambient, I believe CNN is doing this intentionally.

Ralph Northam is dressed in blackface and running Virginia as a governeor, next to a guy in a KKK outfit. You Democrats are just the gift that keeps on giving.

Many blacks are sadly unaware of all the white Democrats just like Ralph who pretend to be non-racist.

These are rich, white, elite polticisans. If you think they give one damn about the people they pretend to represent then you need your head examined. Not even Preident Obama would be caught dead sednding his own kids to a non-Ivy League school, yet people bough into his hope and change for commonfolk.

I live for in VA. There's NOTHING remotely Republican or Conservative about the man or his policies. Every policy and thing he does goes hand and hand with the liberal Democrat agenda. So yes, you're darn right he had zero change running as a Republican because he's a blue blood Democrat. Stop trying to pawn him off on us. Own it.

Kamala Harris tweeted this election night in Virginia:

'Congratulations to @RalphNortham and his team for showing that Virginia won’t stand for hatred and bigotry.'

That is a good candidate for @OldTakesExposed.

So they expected that no one watching would correct them? That makes no sense, dude.

The point is she was falsely accusing the GOP pol of being a racist, something people on the left like to do.

People don't like being called racist if they aren't racist. We understand why Democrats do it. It is to increase minority turnout on election day.

Here's Northam's campaign ad against Gillipsie . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVckRJvuBQY

That is classic race baiting. He was trying to increase minority votes for him by being dishonest about his opponent. He and other Democrats think this is funny too so it is hilarious watching him squirm this week.

They also don't like to be called racist if they are racist. Fun fact. Some people of all stripes including all political leanings are racist. I know Democrats and Republicans like to point to the other party as if their own has not racists, but this is pretty stupid. There are racists everywhere.

Was it a Freudian slip because they subconsciously assume all racists are Republicans or all Republicans are racist?

I'm pretty sure most Democrats think most racists are Republicans. I could check your post history for example.

I follow politics so I have a good idea of what is said.
