"His family has owned farm near Onancock, VA for 200 years. It was once slave operated. Of course, Northam claimed not to have known anything about the slaves.”

Unless Northam has a time machine and went back and made his gr gr gr gr grandfather buy the slaves, what is the purpose of this snide remark? Even if he did know of the family history, so what? Lots of families in the South(And North)has slaveholders in the family tree. Cheap shot.

Ironically, Northam is credited with winning the Virginia governor's race using racialist tactics: tarring his opponent, Gillespie, as a "white nationalist."

===================================

Northam made effective use of Pelosi's demonization tactic she dubbed the “wrap-up smear.”

The video has Pelosi saying: “We (Democrats) call it the ‘wrap-up smear.’ You smear somebody, with falsehoods
and all the rest, and then you merchandise it to the media,” Pelosi revealed at a press conference last year.

============================================

Northam also sent out a mailer tying both President Donald Trump and Ed Gillespie, to white nationalists then-on the prowl in Charlottesville, Va.

Later, a pro-Northam group ran an ad labeling Gillespie as a "genocidal white supremacist."

Northam reported the ad as an "in-kind" donation to his campaign.

Not to be outdone, then-governor, Terry McAuliffe, joined in the "wrap-up smear." McAuliffe accused Gillespie
of having run the "most racist" campaign in Virginia history.

McAuliffe then amped up Pelosi's "wrap-up smear" to new levels of dirty politics.

McAuliffe suggested Gillespie's campaign was more racist than the secessionist movement and that Gillespie
supported a return to slaver and segregation, and opposed interracial marriage.

That's how ridiculous it got.

=====================================

SOUND FAMILIAR Even though Pelosi seemed far-removed from that mess, Pelosi's patented Democrat "wrap-up smear" was used against Justice Kavanaugh.

Hillary was very good at the "wrap-up smear"----she'd "leak" what she said was damaging info on Trump to the
media. Then when the smear was published---she'd wave around the clipping as proof that she was the superior candidate.

He supported the commercial that had Gillespie supporters chasing minority kids in a van. He’s a prime supporter of eugenics. Obviously wouldn’t hold it against a decent person. This guy is far more racist than the slaveholders (they didn’t murder) and follows the same path. It’s fair game in this case imo.
