When they were calling for open borders back in 2001 (and even a Constitutional amendment to that effect), the devolution had already happened.

Welcome to the America the left is creating.

Two systems of justice/standards.

In this case not a single, uno, one Democrat will be forced to resign for wearing blackface or allegations of sexual assault. Oh no, it will be “their apologies are sincere” and “she is a lying slut who was asking for it.”

They will skate.

BUT!!! What will survive this is the incessant charges against the Republican for something he didn’t do himself but he somehow, someway tangentially touched it.

The Republican will be hounded out of office.

It is akin to this: Dem driving drunk kills family but has apologized. Republicans who worked at plant where car was made and booze distilled forced to resign.

Today we have videotape for those in their 30s-40s. In the future, we will have social media. Only those whose lives have been curated from birth will be fit to run for office.

For heaven's sake. Blackface was not racist until the thought police declared it as such. And people are zombified enough to blindly go along with this stuff.

On another note. Kamela Harris was talking about how offensive and hurtful it is. Huh? Let alone not being the descendent of slaves, her parents weren't even US citizens when she was born. How does she get to speak about the issue?

Recommended statement for Norwent:

“A yearbook illustrates student life as it really was at a given point in time, not to censor reality. We all know that FIFTY YEARS ago, racism was on display. If you blame a 1968 yearbook for depicting reality, do you also blame the camera for the blackface picture of Governor Northam with his Klan friend?”

No worries, as a member of the Stupid Party, he’ll dutifully resign no questions asked.

I’m sure Mitt Romney will be pulling out all the stops in helping him make this decision.

We had elementary school yearbooks in the 1960s

I pity the Foo that might have gotten caught in a snapshot biting his PopTart to the shape of a gun, or a watermelon...

A non-event that happened fifty years ago.

They are truly desperate.

I think the Clintonista insiders are trying to damage Herring and Northam for the future. They want their puppet Stoney or Fairfax as the next governor. After the damage to those 2 then any allegations against Fairfax will be dropped. Hope that not true. we ‘ll see. Why haven’t charges been brought against Fairfax ?

He said how Mr. Northam handled the situation suggests “he does not have the capacity to lead or the capacity to heal us.”

I'm confused by this statement because as a Virginia resident I'm beginning to feel pretty damn healed. :-)

……………..I’m not defending democrats here and I’m rolling on the floor that they are having problems in Virginia. Hooray!!!

That said, nothing is more illustrative of what’s wrong in the political world in the US in the 21st century than this “black face” comedy.

That our MSM and ALT MEDIA even discuss what drinking College “boys” did decades earlier at a FRAT party SERIOUSLY should be an insult to every thinking person on the North American Continent.

“How do you get a nickname like Coonman?”

At that age it makes me think he had a thing for black chicks.
