NBC Guest Blames Trump, Not Northam for 'Blackface' Scandals

NBC Guest Blames Trump, Not Northam for 'Blackface' Scandals An NBC panelist pointed the finger at President Donald Trump for the fact blackface controversies are currently in the news, according to Fox News. The issue came to the forefront of headlines thanks to a controversy surrounding Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam, whose 1984 medical school yearbook page contained a picture of a white man in blackface standing next to someone in Ku Klux Klan robes and a hood. After initially taking responsibility for the photo and issuing an apology, Northam conducted a news conference Saturday where he denied being either person in the photo.

The governor did, however, admit that he had worn blackface at another point around the same time — for a dance contest where he was imitating Michael Jackson. And that led a “Today” show guest to a very interesting conclusion.

It was Princeton University’s Eddie Glaude Jr., a professor of religion and African-American studies, who attempted to bring the controversy around to be laid at President Donald Trump’s door “I think it has something to do with what Donald Trump has unleashed,” Glaude Jr. said, according RealClearPolitics. Despite the opinions of various liberal commentators, Trump made his opinion of the Northam controversy abundantly clear when he called the governor’s actions “unforgivable.”

Northam’s blackface controversy was a secondary reaction to comments the governor made days before the photo surfaced, when he hinted at approving of doctors allowing a baby to die after it’s born.

Obama unleashed the racism. Trump’s trying to clean it up. If that idiot can’t see that, then well he’s just dumb.

All the way back in 1984?

These idiots will not be happy until they provoke a national bloodbath. Of course, in their vain imaginings, they likely presume themselves and the ones they love will somehow remain isolated and safe from such a blood letting. They would do well to rethink their plans, if that is their assumption.

Let’s see, in 1984 when the Va. Governor wore blackface, Donald Trump was rebuilding the Wolman Skating Rink in Manhattan and constructing new hotels. In 1980, when VA Attorney General Herring wore blackface, Trump had taken over the down at the heels Commodore hotel in the heart of Manhattan and rebuilt it, revitalizing the block. All this just MUST have to do with the compulsion on two total strangers to wear blackface, I don’t know how but it did.

I doubt that Trump has anything to do with the blackface/sex assault coup attempt going on in Virginia.

(I’m not even sure the Virginia GOP is behind it, although they will benefit if all 3 executives go down, since GOP’ers typically don’t have big nards)

So right.
You can just imagine the ditzy women on The View or Ellen nodding so hard they get whiplash when someone somehow blames Trump for what a Dem governor-—just did. Impossibly bad.

Trump derangement syndrome is at pandemic levels in the mainstream advocate media. It’s pathetic.
