Racist photo tip came from ex-classmate angry with Northam's abortion remarks

A far-right conservative website was reportedly tipped off about the racist photo on Gov. Ralph Northam's medical school yearbook page by one of his former classmates.

A source from Big League Politics told the Washington Post the individual reached out because of "anger" over Northam's recent comments about a bill that would loosen restrictions on abortions.

“The revelations about Ralph Northam’s racist past were absolutely driven by his medical school classmate’s anger over his recent very public support for infanticide,” the unnamed source said.

Northam, a former pediatric neurologist, has faced a barrage of criticism for an interview he did with WTOP about whether he supported a bill to roll back restrictions on third-trimester abortions in his state.

"This is why decisions such as this should be made by providers, physicians, and the mothers and fathers that are involved," Northam said on Wednesday. "When we talk about third-trimester abortions, these are done with the consent of obviously the mother, with the consent of the physician — more than one physician, by the way — and it's done in cases where there may be severe deformities. There may be a fetus that's non-viable."

"If a mother is in labor, I can tell you exactly what would happen," Northam said. "The infant would be delivered. The infant would be kept comfortable. The infant would be resuscitated if that's what the mother and the family desired, and then a discussion would ensue between the physicians and the mother."

He also said comments made by the bill's author, Virginia Democratic Del. Kathy Tran, had “really blown out of proportion.” Her bill never made it out of a subcommittee.

Conservative circles criticized Northam's comments, arguing the governor supported "infanticide." He responded in a tweet Wednesday evening, saying, "I have devoted my life to caring for...

I don’t think it is him in the photo...

Narrow shoulders and goofy hair look more like the other kid...

And the problem is?

...The problem is that the suddenly moralistic SJC’s have determined that “racism” is a greater sin than infanctide.

They had better read Margaret Singer’s biography.

I knew it. You can’t talk about killing a baby after birth as if it’s nothing and someone not get pissed off.

“Infanticide”?

Let us call it what it really is....Pagan human sacrifice....as much alive as 4 to 5 thousand years ago.

Pagans....right or left....go to sleep with the satisfaction.

"I have devoted my life to caring for children and any insinuation otherwise is shameful and disgusting."

Former governor Northam, just because you spent your life caring for children does not give you a pass to be in favor of infanticide.

Dr. Mengele also cared for children at some point in his career.

Too bad this med school classmate didn’t find his conscience when it could have given the seat to Gillespie instead of a Lt Gov who is just as radical on abortion.

OTOH, I suppose it’s possible the individual is an independent, and this ghoulish revelation by Northam was just a bridge too far.

Worst Governor since “Herod the Tetrach was Governor of Jundea” (see Luke 1)

What is infuriating is the religious community has shown little protest and little input in the public marketplace of ideas over this pagan plague on humanity. They should be the perfect social coalition to organize an assault on those promoting the abortion industry. It is time for organization. It is time for action.

Who the hell did Gillespie have on his opposition research team? This thing was practically hiding in plain sight.
