Ironically, Northam is credited with winning the Virginia governor's race using deceptive tactics, tarring his opponent, Gillespie, as a "white nationalist."
==============================================
Northam made effective use of Pelosi's demonization tactic called the wrap-up smear.

The video has Pelosi saying: We (Democrats) call it the wrap-up smear. You smear somebody, with falsehoods and all the rest,
and then you merchandise it to the media, Pelosi blithely revealed at a press conference last year.
======================================
Northam also sent out a campaign mailer tying both President Donald Trump and Ed Gillespie to white nationalists, then on-the-prowl in Charlottesville, Va.
Later, a pro-Northam group ran an ad labeling Gillespie as a "genocidal white supremacist." Northam dutifully reported the ad as an "in-kind" donation to his campaign.
Not to be outdone, then-governor, Terry McAuliffe, accused Gillespie of having run the "most racist" campaign in Virginia history.
McAuliffe actually took Democrat slime politics to new depths of depravity; McAuliffe suggested Gillespie's campaign was more racist than the secessionist movement supporting slavery, the segregationists, and the opposition to interracial marriage.
That's how ridiculous it got.
=====================================
SOUND FAMILIAR This patented Democrat "wrap-up smear" was used against Justice Kavanaugh.
Hillary was very good at the "wrap-up smear"----she'd "leak" what she said was damaging info on Trump to the media. Then when the smear was published---she'd wave around the clipping, "proof-positive" that she was the superior candidate.
I guess they regret having "missed" Democrats Clinton/Gore proudly using the Confederate flag as campaign items.
