Ironically, Northam won the Virginia governor's race using racialist smear tactics, tarring his opponent, Gillespie, as a "white nationalist."
===================================
Northam made effective use of Pelosi's demonization tactic she dubbed 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 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," prominently displaying a Confederate flag to garner black votes.
Northam dutifully reported the Confederate flag ad as an "in-kind" donation to his campaign.
Not to be outdone, then-governor, Terry McAuliffe, joined in the "wrap-up smear." McAuliffe accused Gillespie
of having run the "most racist" campaign in Virginia history. McAuliffe then took Democrat politics to new lows of degradation.....
resorting to amping up Pelosi's dirty "wrap-up smear."
McAuliffe suggested Gillespie's campaign was even more racist than the long-dead secessionist movement and that Gillespie
supported a return to slavery and segregation, and opposed interracial marriage.
That's how ridiculous it got.
=====================================
SOUND FAMILIAR Even though Pelosi seemed far-removed from that mess,
Pelosi's patented Democrat "wrap-up smear" was used against Justice Kavanaugh in the Senate hearing.
A stark reminder of Democrat collusion...".always lying in wait" for the next smear victim.
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 as proof-positive that she was the superior candidate.
