What is Missing from the Northam Controversy is the Abortion Reason Republicans Came After His Scalp

7. You skipped something. Justin Fairfax. A black governor

And, I don't know about you, but I'm tired of being told we should ignore and tolerate racism for some other political goal. Especially since that only seems to be the mantra when it comes to issues of race and racism and the people who are usually told to swallow hard and take one for the team are black folk.

But while you're talking political expediency and impending disasters, Virginia is an important swing state and if Northup stays, he'll be useless as governor. No presidential candidate will go near him. Black voters won't listen to him, Republicans will mock him and make him a poster child for Democratic hypocrisy and whataboutism, that picture will never go away, and he certainly will be completely ineffective in turning out the vote.

We don't need him as Governor of Virginia. He needs to go.
