Ralph Northam's Failure of Character
American Thinker ^ | 11/4/17 | Thomas Wheatley

Posted on 11/04/2017 4:59:15 AM PDT by markomalley

Democrat Ralph Northam has a new title: spineless hypocrite.

Last week, the Latino Victory Fund launched an ad depicting a white man barreling down Virginia streets in a truck bearing a confederate flag and an Ed Gillespie bumper sticker. In the ad, the driver of the truck sees a group of minority children and chases them through parks, streets, and eventually to a dead-end alley, where the terrified children huddle together in helplessness.

The ad ends with the same children jolting awake in their beds, the truck and its driver an apparent nightmare. Images of the torch-bearing white supremacists from August’s Charlottesville rally flash on screen as a narrator’s voice asks, “Is this what Donald Trump and Ed Gillespie mean by the ‘American Dream?’”

Ultimately, the ad was pulled, but only after a radical Islamic terrorist drove a truck into a crowd of people in New York City on October 31. Yet the disturbing depiction of innocent children running for their lives represented a sickening turn in a gubernatorial race that has sadly become the new archetype in American politics.

...but a huge character flaw is only a problem for a Republican, it is a merit badge of greatness for the left.

Ol Ralph is a garden variety liar. He tried to trade on the unambiguous VMI honor code in his campaign ads, yet it seems he couldn’t live up to it. He can’t be drummed out of the corps, but he can be put out to pasture.

Perhaps the guys in the truck knew minority children don’t get enough exercise and were trying to encourage it./s

Ralph Northam has tried to parlay his Honor Code experience at VMI as a weapon in election advertising...after his term with Terry McAwful (and the deciding vote supporting sanctuary cities in Virginia) proves him to be of low character and no principles... but what do we expect out of a Dem politician?

Just because your school had an Honor Code does NOT mean that you have ever followed it. There is little evidence that it means/meant anything to him.

You don’t need character to be governor of VA: Just the letter “D” after your name!
