<\/p>\nRUSH: Ralph Northam of Virginia says that he ain\u2019t no way quitting, he ain\u2019t no way gonna resign. The embattled Virginia governor said that he is not resigning because Virginia needs a doctor. That was during a Sunday interview on CBS Slay the Nation. Governor Northam has been facing pressure to quit since the photograph of someone in blackface and someone in a Ku Klux Klan hood was found on his medical school yearbook.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Not one mention of the fact that Ralph Northam, as a doctor, as a pediatrician, found it perfectly fine to make a newborn comfortable before killing it. That\u2019s not even a factor in this guy\u2019s future. That\u2019s not even relevant. No. It\u2019s all about some old photo in blackface.<\/p>\n
You know, I could actually see the Republicans — well, let me get to that in some chronology here. Gayle King, the BFF of The Oprah, was doing the questioning here. \u201cWhy do you think you still deserve this job when so many people are calling for you to step down?\u201d And Governor Northam said, “Well, again we\u2019ve worked very hard. We had a good first year. I\u2019m a leader. I\u2019ve been in some very difficult situations, life and death situations, taking care of sick kids.”<\/p>\n
The correct question would be, \u201cDid the kids survive?\u201d But she didn\u2019t say that. She said, “Oh. Because you\u2019re a doctor?”<\/p>\n
“Right now, Virginia needs someone that can heal. There\u2019s no better person to do that than a doctor.\u201d Okay. So here\u2019s Governor Northam with Gayle King. We actually have three sound bites here. She says, \u201cI know this has been a very difficult week for you.\u201d It\u2019s so bad, we at CBS are really empathetic. We know it\u2019s so bad. We\u2019ve been trying to help by throwing that abortionist stuff off the page. But where would you like to begin in our interview here that\u2019s built to basically help you rehab yourself?<\/p>\n
NORTHAM: If you look at Virginia\u2019s history, we\u2019re now at the 400-year anniversary. Just 90 miles from here, in 1619, the first indentured servants from Africa landed on our shores in old Point Comfort, what we call now —<\/p>\n
RUSH: Stop the tape. The guy sounds like he\u2019s celebrating something they\u2019re all happy about. Yeah, Gayle, 400 years ago the first slaves arrived here, just 90 miles from here. It\u2019s a great anniversary we\u2019re all celebrating here in Virginia. What in the name of Sam Hill? Who thinks this way? We\u2019re celebrating a 400-year anniversary, and Gayle King — we\u2019ll have to play it back, cue it back to the top. But she then follows, “Known as slavery.” She doesn\u2019t want him to get away with calling it indentured servitude.<\/p>\n

NORTHAM: If you look at Virginia\u2019s history, we are now at the 400-year anniversary. Just 90 miles from here, in 1619, the first indentured servants from Africa landed on our shores in Old Point Comfort, what we call now Fort Monroe. And while…<\/p>\n
KING: Also known as slavery.<\/p>\n
NORTHAM: Yes.<\/p>\n
KING: Yeah. Yeah.<\/p>\n
NORTHAM: And, you know, while we have made a lot of progress in Virginia, slavery has ended, schools have been desegregated, we have ended the Jim Crow laws, easier access to voting, it is abundantly clear that we still have a lot of work to do.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Wait a minute, now. See, that\u2019s a bad — you\u2019re not supposed to talk about the solutions. You are not supposed to talk about the improvements because to the modern American leftists, they are irrelevant. Do not discount me on this, folks. Do not think that I\u2019m off beat. I\u2019m right in the middle of the bull\u2019s-eye on this. He\u2019s trying to get credit because he\u2019s embattled by pointing out all of the successes. But we\u2019ve been doing that for 30 years, and it doesn\u2019t count for diddly-squat!<\/p>\n
Five hundred thousand Americans being killed in the Civil War to end slavery means nothing, and the reason is \u2013 I\u2019m gonna say it one more time. The objective is to transform the country away from how it was founded, and because how it was founded was the original sin. It was founded with slavery and prejudice and bigotry in these people\u2019s minds. And so there\u2019s no amount of fixing possible. It\u2019s not possible to fix because it was founded this way. So whatever improvements have been made, they don\u2019t count, at the end of the day.<\/p>\n
We need to totally abolish and rebuild. This is what is being taught. This is what young generations of Americans are growing up believing. But he\u2019s embattled here, he\u2019s got that blackface photo out there, so he\u2019s trying to say, “Look at what we\u2019ve done. Look at the changes.” And then acknowledging there\u2019s still a lot of work. What? If we have ended slavery, if we\u2019ve desegregated the schools, if we\u2019ve ended the Jim Crow laws, if there\u2019s easier access to voting, then what is the “lot of work to do”? Not denying there isn\u2019t some work. What is the “lot of work to do”? It\u2019s just a throwaway line designed to send the message that Ralph Northam knows nothing is good right now. He\u2019s just trying to distance himself from the bad. Next question from Gayle King: \u201cWhat have you learned that you didn\u2019t know before?\u201d<\/p>\n
NORTHAM: I was born in white privilege and that has implications to it. And it is much different the way a white person, such as myself, is treated in this country.<\/p>\n
KING: Did you not know that you were born into white privilege?<\/p>\n
NORTHAM: I knew I was, Ms. King, but I didn\u2019t realize really the powerful implications of that. I\u2019ve also learned why the use of blackface is so offensive.<\/p>\n
