Northam College Photo Shows Man in Same Plaid Pants as the Blackface-KKK Yearbook Photo
Gateway Pundit ^ | February 3, 2019 | Jim Hoft

Now this…

Photos of Northam at medical school show him standing with a man in the same plaid pants as the KKK-blackface photo.

Here is a Northam friend in the plaid pants in a regular college shot — And then in the blackface shot.

The pants were featured in another Northam college shot.

Ralph Northam is on the left.

But the man on the right is wearing the same plaid pants as the blackfaced fellow in the yearbook.

"Keith Matthews is the plaid pants. Northam is taller than him. He can't be the KKK guy. Whatever. I just roll with it. Drama for them is fine by me."

The blond in the plaid pants appears to be named Terry Smoot. https://me.me/i/ralph-northam-terry-smoot-cers-president-ralph-northam-vice-president-keith-6a08742b000442bbbfaad8d8b445c6b1

In August, Northam appointed Raymond Smoot to the Commonwealth Transportation Board.

“May be the same pants; but, not the same guy IMHO”

That style was popular in the ‘70s. Could be from a costume closet.

“think it’s a good thing”

I certainly agree with that but at some point I do get tired of bringing a knife to a gun fight.

I reserve such arguments as your for when a Republican faces this type of situation.

Good find. You scooped Gateway Pundit’s scoop.

I heard it was a Freeper who broke the picture in blackface/klan first. A Freeper who went to the same med school. I would like to hear more.

Just making the point that the Democrats are trying to switch issues. They always do and the discussion has already shifted to Northam, which was the point. They are scared to death to have an honest discussion about abortion, so Northam will have to fall on his sword. My point is to not let them change the subject.

Gateway is using the same kind of photo comparisons here that reddit has used to out Antifa thugs. But I guess when that process isn’t useful to someone’s story line it’s to be ignored.

The Antifa terrorists were outed through multiple item matches or close proximity in place and time plus an item match. A single item of clothing to disprove identity is not at all the same. Personally, I'm hoping Northam will stay in office - he's more beatable because he looks like a racist idiot, and he's no worse overall than the alternative would be.

I dunno, that may be over-thinking things. I don’t think that crowd ever worries about an abortion controversy, no matter how gruesome.

But if you were to say that his Lt Governor’s people are behind the release of this pic I might be intrigued. Cui bono, you know; the Lt Governor gets a real benefit if Northam gets forced out.

Dime a dozen pants. And part of the costume to be M.J.

Virginians are furious about Kathy Tran. I understand that there is a large prolife rally on Thursday in Richmond. People in my Northern Virginia area spoke out last night on our community Facebook page, saying we have had enough. (I’m sure the original poster got banned from the censored page.).

Once Northam is out, the Dems will have to lay low on abortion, because Virginia has off year elections. This Fall, the State Senate is up for election the first time in 4 years. It is currently 21-19 GOP. The House is 51-49 GOP. Dems did NOT want their infanticide agenda in the news now. The filing deadline for candidates is March 21.

Right now, Northam is in a meeting with “staff of color” that has been going on since 4. He will not leave unless he is bought out. It is difficult to get him out, he does not have money and he is unlikely to be able to work again.

It could mean Northam went out on Halloween with an old friend of his, and it is Northam in the KKK costume, or it could mean that Northam borrowed the pants from his friend for his costume.

As long as we're all theorizing...

If there were all these school clubs or cliques, who's to say that they didn't all get similar pants for a nerd party or other such party prank?

I’m 57 years old.. and no it’ because of the other cars in the picture I saw in the neighborhood(that were cut off in that post) plus the clothes(nobody wore ties and bellbottoms like that in the late 70’s or 80’s) and the hair,, I’d bet money that picture wasn’t from the 80’s

The man in the KKK outfit has the point of his hood touching the ceiling.

If it is Northam that would explain why he appears shorter... he’s bending his knees to keep the point of the hood from bending.

Exactly - back when plaid semi-bell bottoms were in vogue, they had a policy to only make one of each design.

the picture with the car had to be taken at least 10 plus years before the black face picture

You are correct. That photo is in the 1977 Onancock High School yearbook on page 79:

That is, you’re correct that the photo is older. (It’s older by 7 years).
