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 makes a damn bit of difference whether he’s in the picture or not. The idiot behind him, the Lt. Governor is no better and he’s been in blackface since birth. He wasn’t aborted but I bet he believes the same crap his boss does. By weight who are the idiots aborting the most and who should be the most angry? I’d make a bet in Virginia more black babies than white. Yet they vote for this Dem trash. IMO

The very small number of news clips I've read all run with the same story line..."...It came out in a far right news source..."...so obviously it should be dismissed, even if factually accurate.

The MSM which seems just as inclined to promote baby killers as the politicians uttering the words has invented a new measure of what is fact and what is news: the source of the tip. It is either factually correct or it isn't.

What isn't in dispute is his afront to the political candidate who he would not shake hands with. And what is FAR WORSE: his matter of fact treatment of young lives.

“The infant would be resuscitated if that’s what the mother and the family desired,”


So 5 minutes after birth, helping a baby to breathe is dependent on whether the parents want the baby. But what about the next week? What if they decide they don’t want the baby a month later? Or when he’s three? Or 16? Who plays Gd here and decides sometimes it’s ok to murder or leave someone helpless to die? Who decides a special need (oh, now it’s ok to call it a deformity - why didn’t you lefties call Stephen hawking deformed?) makes younot good enough to be allowed to live?

And you guys call Trump Hitler.

I think the way he said it, without any of the careful qualifiers, tone, or legal responsibilities you mention, is enough to label him as a ghoulish infanticide supporter. A couple letting an anencephalic baby have her hour of life after birth in a sad, reverent condition is very different from the words he used. He deserves this criticism.

"Most hospitals are not going to allow the murder of a viable infant on their property."

Oh, well...if most hospitals aren't going to allow such a murder...guess we've got nothing to be concerned with about this.

Everyone, move along, nothing to see here.

hmmm...Dan Bongino said he had the photo since October and did not run with it because he couldn’t validate it.

My thought. There are pics showing
another kid wearing those plaid pants.
This is about another political hack
job by Dems trying to cover how far
they’re willing to go with this. Once
the dust settles after 2020 elections,
it’s full steam ahead.

If a child is born without a brain stem, for example, the medical staff will make the child comfortable and allow it to pass naturally.

Thank you for remaining calm and rational in this heated discussion!

But I believe that so-called "Anencephalic" babies are born with a brain stem (which means that they can, e.g., breathe on their own), but without a cerebrum (which governs "thinking").

Regards,

On Fox News, Dan Bongino stated that he was given the black face photo in October, prior to the election, but couldn’t verify it so he didn’t use it.
