I’m curious to hear CNN’s explanation for why they falsely labeled Ralph Northam, Virginia’s racist governor, as a Republican

Ralph Northam is the governor of Virginia.

He is a Democrat.

In 1984, in his yearbook from Eastern Virginia Medical School, Northam appeared in this photo, which shows one person in blackface, and another person in a Ku Klux Klan outfit. Northam hasn’t said which of the two is him, and no one else seems to be able to tell which of the two is him. But both of them are racist. (Image sourced from here.)

Even though Northam is a Democrat, CNN reported that he is a Republican.

Here’s the video. Skip to 0:13

And in case the censors at YouTube ever remove the video, here’s a screenshot:

OMG they are such asses. I’m pretty sure they had a (D) there when they were praising him for his advocacy of live baby killing. Which was like 3 days ago, literally!

Serious question.

Why are such images considered racist instead of historical?

As Orwell noted in 1984, those who control the language control everything else.

The left, particularly in the Media, has been in control of the language in this country for at least 50 years.

They choose to live in the fantasy that they have created for the democrats. It is amazing how they stick to their version of life no matter hoe much the evidence points the opposite way.

That is libel. How does that network get away with that and we are not protesting outside their offices? I do not understand. Where are their offices here in Texas?

Why? Because CNN is fake news and the FCC does nothing about it because they’re corrupt like most depts. poisoned by Obama.

Simple explanation. CNN is fake news. This wasn’t an error.

For the record, CNN corrected the mislabeling a few seconds later, but it’s still a fair question to ask how this happened in the first place.

I agree. I am so tired of this crap being dug up from 30, 40 years ago that wasn’t considered controversial at the time. Sick of judging people by the ever changing and weird sensitive standards of today. It is not right, democrat or republican. Same shitheads who tell us not to judge.

If it destroys a Democrat, I’m all for it.

After Kavanaugh, all rules are out.

Take them down. Now we need to get his medical license because what he admitted to is first degree murder.

“Judge not, that ye be not judged.
2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged; and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.”

This guy’s career is cooked.
The ‘morally righteous left’ have been bashing the center\right for years, and to do otherwise now against one of their own would show them as complete hypocrites

Screen shots showing Gov Northam as a Republican will be all over the internet forever. LIVoters ( low information applies to people who only watch CNN and only read NYT or WaPo) will never believe that he is a Democrat. He is a racist and a baby-killer. To Dems, being a baby-killer is ok but it must not have been polling well outside DC.

CNN is the Ministry of Truth form Orwell’s 1984 simple. They are not a news outfit. They are in the propaganda, disinformation and dirty tricks business.

It wasn’t controversial in 1984 to dress up in blackface or KKK hood costume? Who are you FR trolls defending this baby killer? No sympathy deserved. Off with his head.

I’ve read 3 comments already on the NY Daily news Facebook site by people calling him a Republican. They fall hook, line and sinker for fake news. Can you imagine what would be going on right now if he really were Republican? First they’d be trying to tie him to Trump and then we would hear about the marches by Al Sharpton and then the riots by Antifa.
