Thread: This Ralph Northam photo makes my blood boil because one of the reasons Northam beat @EdWGillespie in 2017 was his strategy of tarring Gillespie as a racist connected with Charlottesville. /1

In 2017, Democrats ran a mailer against Gillespie, tying him and Donald Trump to the white nationalists in Charlottesville. This despite Gillespie's clear denunciation of Charlottesville, much stronger than Trump's original "both sides" statement. /2

But it gets worse. A video ad from the Latino Victory Project showed Gillespie trying to run down minority kids, as if he were a genocidal racist. Ralph Northam said his campaign would never run an ad like that, but refused to condemn it. /3 pjmedia.com/election/ralph…
Later, Ralph Northam listed the ad tarring Gillespie as a genocidal white supremacist as an "in-kind donation" to his campaign. /4 pjmedia.com/election/ralph…
As if none of this were bad enough, Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe accused Ed Gillespie of running "the most racist campaign in Virginia history" — worse than the pro-slavery secessionists, the segregationists, & opponents of interracial marriage. /5 pjmedia.com/video/dem-va-g…
To top it all off, it's Ralph Northam, not Ed Gillespie, who posed for a photo in blackface or a KKK hood. This would be the darkest political comedy ever if it weren't so tragic and insulting. Northam won in 2017 & neither Northam nor McAuliffe has apologized. /6
To conclude, it's high time both @TerryMcAuliffe & @RalphNortham apologize to @EdWGillespie for tarring him as a racist. McAuliffe will be on @CNNSotu this Sunday. Hey @JakeTapper, don't let him leave without addressing this. /7
