It really is an insult. Trying to overturn elections over something so trivial as this is disgusting. America needs to wake up to who is controlling things. I’m not a dem, but I hope Northam defies the elites for us all.

That’s just how they rolled back then.

What’s more, they drank before they were 21, hazed fraternity pledges, and took a few liberties with their female guests (wink). So that means they were drunk, bullying rapists, right?

They’re working very hard on the moral equivalence - they want to say it’s not only Democrats.

Has Bill Clinton been forced to apologize yet for attending Georgetown?

Georgetown sold 272 slaves to a planter in Louisiana in 1838. Maybe the institution would have gone bankrupt otherwise, so their continued existence is because of that sale. Georgetown University has been trying to find ways to atone--for example, it named a building after the slave whose name was first on the list. But its alumni should be pressed to grovel and degrade themselves with abject apologies starting with Bill Clinton.

He didn’t edit out the inappropriate content, so he’s as bad as they are. His defense: “I was a Democrat then”.

I wonder if I have a yearbook somewhere in my house with someone in blackface.

Hey — the Managing Editor of the Washington Post has a newspaper he edited that includes pictures of people in Blackface, and he just did that last week.

SO he should never be considered for public office, right?

I’m pretty sure 1968 is a different decade than the 80s, when the two democrats actually put on “blackface” as it is defined by their party.

I have never once put shoe polish on my face.

I once did a Coppertone Quick Tan and turned orange.

Wow, I was in solidarity with Trump back in the 80s!

It looks like the dems are getting ready to purge all white males from any position of influence in the party, and replace them with non-whites mostly females.

They should close any movie studios that produced movies with blackface.
