On fake news CNN this morning, a talking-points-spouting Democrat Congresswoman tried to blame President Trump for a 1980s vintage racist yearbook page under the name of now Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam, a fellow Democrat. Bernie Sanders-supporting far-left activist Nina Tuner, another panelist sitting with Jake Tapper on the State of the Union set, who nonetheless thinks Trump is a racist, wasn’t buying it, however.

Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring, who probably thought he might become governor of the state given the ongoing turmoil there, has admitted to wearing blackface as a younger man. This revelation means the state’s three top elected officials, all Democrats, are now engulfed in scandal.
What’s happening in Democrat politics in the Old Dominion state seems to be giving a new definition to the slogan “Virginia is for lovers.” Gov. Ralph Northam is immersed in scandal over a racist yearbook page. Justin Fairfax, the state’s lieutenant governor, who this weekend seemed headed for the top job as a result, is now denying a sexual assault allegation. The Big League Politics website broke both of these stories. The Washington Post, which unhesitatingly published uncorroborated allegations about Brett Kavanaugh, previously looked into but declined to run the Fairfax story, however. The Post and Fairfax seem partially at odds over an analysis of the incident, however.
Will Ralph Northam still be Virginia’s governor by the end of the day? Almost every prominent Democrat who enthusiastically endorsed his candidacy is now calling for him to resign after the Big League Politics website found a racist medical school yearbook page. Note to fake news CNN: Northam is a Democrat, not a Republican, contrary to your chyron last night. Irony in the extreme, the Trump-hating Northam repeatedly branded GOP rival Ed Gillespie as a racist during the campaign. The Northam controversy once again underscores what the late talk show host Bob Grant often said: particularly in matters of race, liberals are the ultimate hypocrites. Moreover, this is yet another example of how the left accuses the right of what the left is actually guilty of. This is also an occasion where Twitter (see tweets below) is performing a brilliant public service.
