The Republican Governors Association (RGA) slammed Hillary Clinton’s ex-spokesman and CNN political contributor Brian Fallon in a statement on Saturday after Fallon derisively claimed Virginia Republican gubernatorial candidate Ed Gillespie was a white supremacist.
“Brian Fallon’s attack on Ed Gillespie is shameful, disgraceful, and has no place in American politics,” said RGA Chairman Governor Scott Walker. “Ralph Northam, Hillary Clinton and CNN should immediately denounce Fallon’s blatant attempt to score political points from a tragedy, and CNN should question whether it serves the network and the viewing public well by giving a microphone to Fallon’s hateful rhetoric.”
Fallon claimed that Gillespie was a white supremacist in a tweet on Friday.
Earlier this week, Democrats sent out a flier with President Donald Trump and Gillespie’s images with a picture of the alt-right “Unite the Right” rally that took place in August in Charlottesville, VA, that read, “On Tuesday, November 7th, Virginia Gets to Stand Up…To Hate.”
The Richmond Times-Dispatch condemned the Democrats, writing in an editorial, “That isn’t merely a reach. It’s practically libel.”
“Gillespie has repeatedly and passionately condemned white supremacists and other creatures that have crawled out from under the alt-right rock,” the Times-Dispatch added. “Linking him to them requires the following absurd logic: (1) Donald Trump said some stupid things about Charlottesville. (2) Trump is a Republican. (3) Gillespie is a Republican. (4) Therefore, Gillespie supports racial hate.”

Uhhh. Thanks for the support, Richmond Times-Dispatch, but no thanks.
“Donald Trump said some stupid things about Charlottesville”
The media are so despicable!
If it were possible to appeal the leftist sense of honor and dignity; this might do some good.
By now everyone knows leftists have no honor or dignity to appeal to though.
They can’t feel shame or guilt. They can only feel loss and they really hate to lose. After a year they are still crying like little girls who had their Barbie and/or Ken dolls taken away.
Nice dig at Pres. Trump, you creeps.
BAM. By any means, including lying, theft, fraud, murder, chaos, and extortion. The new face of the Democrat party.
Ooh. Scott Walker. It seems that this is the first time since the election that any GOP pol has come close to fighting back at the press. Figuring out that saying ‘some stupid things’ is a winner, eh?
Go back and read it again. You missed something.
Accusations of racism must have lost its impact, so it has to be ratcheted up with accusations of white supremacy; white supremacy being defined as wanting to MAGA.
Not seeing it
Patriotism = racism = white nationalism = white supremacists = Nazis = just being white. That’s the racist formula in the f’kd up leftist mind.
No worries, let Fallon and his Klan jabber all they want, they will be going to jail.

The dam broke last night on Watters World as leftist Richard Fowler agreed with Ben Shapiro that U1 needs to go to special counsel.
Then we get other very interesting thing that will make liberals heads explode tomorrow to have them see the world they think they know is totally upside down.
Trick-or-Treat!
Donald Trump said some stupid very truthful things about Charlottesville.
Fallon needs to have his ass kicked.
It seems to me that, according to the left, anyone who fails to prostrate himself and beg forgiveness for the crime of having been born a “white” person is thereby a “white supremacist.” Any such person who has managed to find a job and make a living is enjoying “white privilege.”
That seems to be the narrative that the Left is trying to get established deeply into the American psyche.
It is called “bullying” when done on the social media.
“Senator, may we not drop this? We know he belonged to the Lawyers Guild. Let us not assassinate this lad further, Senator. You’ve done enough. Have you no sense of decency, sir? At long last, have you left no sense of decency?”
Joseph N. Welch, addressing Joseph McCarthy at the Army-McCarthy hearings, June 1954.
This was about the point in which the entire thrust of the hearings began to completely collapse.
Yet Joe McCarthy was much more correct than any of us knew, then or even today. There WERE Communists infiltrated all through the State Department and the Department of the Army. Fred Fisher was the person about whom these remarks were addressed on the part of, an he proved to be a NOTORIOUS Communist, a member of the Lawyers Guild, which made the ACLU look like the John Birch Society.
The Deep State has been around a lot longer than anyone on the Left would be willing to admit. Yet the “decency” they demand is never reciprocated.
They wore out the term “Racist” and have replaced it with “White Supremasist”
Things must be getting desperate over at the DNC
The Times Dispatch said that..
