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.

So the affirmative action pea-brain could not see the problem with a claim that the 1984 yearbook photo was caused by the 2016 election of Trump.

The fact that Princeton employs this idiot says a lot about the state of higher education in America.

Yes, obviously Trump is so racist, his racism has exceeded the speed of light and traveled back in time to the 1980s to infect Democrats back them and force them to wear blackface.

Bush had the wind machine that caused Katrina, Trump has the Time Machine that causes Democrats to wear blackface.

I blame NBC for the increase in racism in America and the subsequent death of graywhales in the Pacific Ocean and the death of penguins and polar bears at the North Pole.

“he hinted at approving of doctors allowing a baby to die after it’s born”

It wasn’t a ‘hint’. He told of a born alive infant being laid to the side while a conversation took place on whether to allow the helpless baby to live or die because a woman’s body, her decision.

It’s just amazing what this President can do; from holding the peoples’ of Manhattan and Miami heads under water to causing the long standing racism of the left.

Truly amazing.

They aren’t fooling anyone either.

The populace knows Trump didn’t do this, and he hasn’t done a single thing to make anyone think it was okay to do.

Blacks are waking up to this too.

Some are very vocal about the lies of the Left.

While it may not be in the numbers we would like to see, it’s very refreshing to see groups coming out for Trump.

I believe he deserves it.

Sometime in the future affirmative action will be equated to Jim Crow laws.

There was a garbage show called something like Sisters Circle airing on a TV at lunch. Five black ladies, zero disagreement. One said, “It’s scary that he had to be fact-checked immediately after the speech!” Yeah, it’s called “Governing While Republican.” They then gushed about Stacey Abrams and hoped she’d run for president.

These lefty DemonCRAPs sure know how to blame shift. When asked why that road tax didn’t build the roads, the say is was because of global warming.
