Joe Lieberman says Northam shouldn't resign: 'There's a rush to judgment that is unfair to him'
The Hill ^ | February 4, 2019 | MICHAEL BURKE

Former Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) on Monday came to the defense of Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam (D), saying he shouldn't yet resign despite the revelation that his medical school yearbook page included a racist photo.

Lieberman said during an interview on CNN that there has been a "a rush to judgment that is unfair to" Northam.

"One, he says he wasn't in that picture. Two, I think we ought to fairly ask him, did he know the picture was on his page of the yearbook? And three, he ought to be judged in the context of his whole life," Lieberman said.

What is insane is that promoting de facto infanticide made him a hero with half this country, but an offensive costume donned three decades ago may drive him out of office.

Forget that abortion stuff! He's a racist, like a REPUBLICAN! That's the important thing.

More leftwing media BS!

Amazing how they continue to conceal the real reason this Democrat is defending Democrat Northam's black-face history. The FAKE media has been covering up Joe Lieberman's own black-face history for decades. Below is Joe with slick Willy, courtesy of David Horowitz & FrontPageMag.com:

How long would they have kept such a GOP secret?{/s}

VA governor George Allen had to step down for using the word “macaca.”

Rabbinical court excommunicates Lieberman for stances called ‘scandal’ to Judaism
by Scott Hogenson, posted Tuesday, October 31, 2000

WASHINGTON (BP)—A rabbinical court in Brooklyn, New York, has taken the unusual step of excommunicating Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman, the Democratic vice presidential hopeful on Al Gore’s ticket.

The New York Torah Court, in an Oct. 23 announcement, stated that Lieberman caused “grave scandal” for the Jewish religion “by the fact that, while claiming to be an observant Jew, Lieberman has been misrepresenting and falsifying to the American people the teachings of the Torah against partial birth infanticide, against special privileges and preferential treatment for flaunting homosexuals, and against religious intermarriage of Jews.”

[Well Joe, what’s your opinion about infanticide?]

Joe was unavailable to comment on that one.

Nor all the relentless attacks against President Trump, his family, whites, conservatives in general........

Joe Lieberman is doing what democrats do, defending Their own. Look at the way they rallied behind the likes of Bill Clinton for one example. When Lieberman says we should consider did Northam know the picture was in his yearbook, he is being disingenuous. Not only did he know, he was in it. Look at his apology before he was advised otherwise.

CORRECTION/RETRACTION for POST-63

I just learned that that photo of black-face Lieberman was photo-shopped. It was done to Lieberman in 2006 by the Democrats when he was running as an independent against a Democrat challenger. Horowitz & FrontPageMag.com are usually much more reliable.
