It didn’t take long for the news media to hit another iceberg. This time it was in the Old Dominion. Virginia became the subject of media attention (okay, some media attention) since Democrats tried to push a bill that would’ve permitted abortions up until the moment of birth. It was a ghastly bill that was rejected. Still, Democratic Gov. Ralph Northam, a medical doctor, decided to weigh in during a radio interview this week, where he was torched for his remarks that pretty much detailed how this bill would permit the murder of babies. The Democrats’ abortion extremism was on full display. He responded to the blowback by saying he doesn’t regret his remarks about the legislation.
Well, his bad week became a total disaster when his 1984 yearbook photo from Eastern Virginia Medical School, where it features two men, one of which is in blackface and the other is in a Ku Klux Klan robe. Northam apologized for the racist costume; though he didn’t specify which person he’s in the photo. The yearbook photo has been verified. It remained in the library on the school’s campus, which has led some to retroactively trash Ed Gillespie and the GOP for missing this during the 2017 gubernatorial election. Northam has apologized for the photo and promised to earn back the trust of the voters. For many, especially those on the Democratic side, scores of Democrats, including former Gov. Terry McAuliffe, have called on Northam to resign, while others have crafted the odd position of ‘he needs to go, but just not right now.’

Still, even as the Democratic Party scrambled to figure out what to do, CNN, the facts first, ‘this is an apple’ news network, decided to just label Democratic Ralph Northam a Republican in a video the governor’s office issued last evening on the matter. It was an apple, but CNN decided it was a banana regarding Northam’s party affiliation. You cannot make this up. If this was an honest error, it’s still embarrassing. CNN and other covered the 2017 elections. They basked in the glory of the blue wave that crashed last year. And they thought Northam was a Republican. The Democrat-media complex is hard at work, but they cannot spin this.
They thought no such thing.
BS c’mon they knew damn well he was a Rat. Knock it off.
Looks like Northam is going to go Southam. Haha.
Yep, no doubt they knew he was democrat. Just more lying by the media.
So, (this is CNN thinking) he is a white guy and he looks conservative and even has a proven racist past, so obviously he must be a Republican.
It would be CNN’s wet dream if this was a Republican!
What do you want to bet that if a Democrat ever praises Trump he will be shown as an (D)?
exactly
Since when does CNN let the truth get in the way of a good story?
It makes total sense that he should have a racist pic in his yearbook. He is a Dem, after all. In the company of the likes of Robert Byrd.
Mr. ten thirteen: we need more like you to ridicule them when they screw up. Richeous indignation doesn’t work. Lot’a material to work with if only the GOP knew.
Your freeper name made me crack up btw. 
You mean CNN thought that Northam was a “macaca” speaker?
That ridiculous virtue fight that isolated and froze who could have been the best governor the state ever had since Byrds.
CNN KNOWS this is a dem... this is like their support of a clinton klan pal-— they know. They are by design trying to confuse-— to continue the anti-Trump meme of “white privilege—.
CNN is the Statist Globalist UN view of the US— we are not to have white people and black people working together and not having this “wedge” issue to allow the Statists to control everyone.
This sure takes the focus off of that ghoul Va Delegate Tran.
FDA and FCC won’t allow someone to sell fake medicine on the air but allow fake news CNN winks.
This is all a distraction. Don’t fall for it.
The left is trying its best to get us to stop talking about the things he said concerning VA law and abortion. He said too much (even tho it is true) and they are taking him out.....changing the subject. He’s the bad guy.... not the proposed law.
I foresee that we will stop quoting what he said, which is what they want.
The left is clever and they know how to fight. We, for the most part, do not.
This is a lemon.
Some people might try to tell you it's a journalist.
That it's not biased
That it retains journalistic integrity
after baselessly accusing our president
of inciting civil war.
Some people might try to tell you
that this is a journalist.
