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.

Loosen restrictions??? Wow
this proves how inept clueless and gutless GOPE is. Make book this was known by Gillepsie Campaign in 2017. They did not have the fortitude to fight back against slander.
Use their own rules against them and destroy leftists one by one. Doxxing and other tools to destroy a person’s career work both ways, leftists.

If he had just used the pronoun IT like Bill Clinton he would have been fine.
He is an idiot.
But he is also a pediatrician. He explains things in a clinical manner. Most people would find that cold.
As a politician he should know better.
Bummer. Looks like his career got, aborted. Lol.
Another “I have devoted my life to...” defense. In his case, fill it in with “...lying whenever it suited my purpose.”
It is interesting that he was on the honor court at VMI...
The person in the KKK robes is his date. His wife?
I’m with you. Ever since the establishment of Planned Parenthood and the initiation of “The Negro Project” in 1916, black babies constitute the vast majority of abortions. A critical element of Margaret Sanger’s “Negro Project” was to locate PP “clinics” in or very close to black neighborhoods. That remains the case today.
