In one of the campaign ads shown for Ralph Northam, a Latino Victory Fund video showed a truck, identified as racist, going after minority kids. The implication was that Ed Gillespie in particular, and Republicans in general, were racist.<\/p>\n<p>Critical thinkers saw this advertisement as something that didn&#8217;t reflect reality. We know which party had the history of racism. Sadly, many people fell for that video, as well as the general leftist narrative about the right.<\/p>\n<p>Governor Ralph Northam has since issued an apology, CNN aired the apology&#8230; Labeling him as a Republican. I voted for Ed Gillespie. I could assure you that Ralph Northam is a Democrat. Some may argue that the labeling was nothing but a &#8220;mislabeling&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>But, given their track record with regards to bias and misrepresentation, and retractions, I wouldn&#8217;t be surprised if they did that deliberately. The leftist narrative is that of Republicans and conservatives being racist. As you guys have seen with the labels thrown at those wearing the MAGA hats, many fall for that narrative hook, line, and sinker.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">From Fox News:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;My fellow Virginians, earlier today I released a statement apologizing for behavior in my past that falls far short of the standard you set for me when you elected me to be your governor. I believe you deserve to hear directly from me,&#8221; Northam said in a video he posted on Twitter.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That photo and the racist and offensive attitudes it represents does not reflect that person I am today or the way that I have conducted myself as a soldier, a doctor, and a public servant. I am deeply sorry,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;I cannot change the decisions I made nor can I undo the harm my behavior caused then and today. But I accept responsibility for my past actions, and I am ready to do the hard work of regaining your trust.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>As a recap, Governor Northam talked about how a baby would be &#8220;made comfortable&#8221; after it is delivered, and its fate would be discussed. This was regarding an abortion bill that was being considered.<\/p>\n<p>Well, Mr. Huckabee gave Mr. Northam his own words served with humor:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-lang=\"en\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Ralph Northam&#8217;s governorship is experiencing a post-election abortion, but after his fellow Dems set him aside, they will &#8220;make him comfortable&#8221; and &#8220;have a conversation&#8221; to decide how they will kill his political career.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Gov.

A better thought process should go along the lines of &#8220;declaring independence&#8221; from CNN, and others like them, by being proactive with getting information.<\/p>\n<p>Even without the above photo, information was available about Ralph Northam that they could&#8217;ve obtained.
