This is a guy who made no bones about his racist tendencies when he was in college, when he was in med school.

I\u2019m not even gonna utter the nickname he called himself, because sure if I do, it will be attributed to me and not him. But it is a vicious and racist, racist name. He\u2019s wearing blackface, a KKK hood in medical school, and it\u2019s amazing. All of that is forgiven by liberal Democrat voters. That\u2019s how much they love power.<\/p>\n<p>They would rather have a proven racist of the worst kind remain in office in order to prevent any Republican from holding it. Especially a Republican who would object to putting a &#8220;fetus&#8221; aside after a botched abortion. Don\u2019t forget what got all this started. (accent) &#8220;Ralph Northam thinks it perfectly fine to murder a baby after he had done survived an abortion. Perfectly fine!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-309926\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/APP-052319-Northam-Black-Faced.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/APP-052319-Northam-Black-Faced.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/APP-052319-Northam-Black-Faced-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That\u2019s what got all this started.

Well, then, you ought to have the right to direct another doctor to come in and snuff out that little life.&#8221; That\u2019s what he said!<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s what he believes. He\u2019s a governor! That\u2019s when people went out and found the blackface photos and the KKK hood when he was in med school. He has survived it, and now &#8212; as part of the price (accent) &#8220;that Ralph Northam has to pay in order to survive those horrible, disgusting things that he done did &#8212; this morning in Richmond, Virginia, Governor Ralph Northam held a press conference.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-351450 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Screen-Shot-2020-06-04-at-11.08.47-AM-e1591303642347.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"375\" \/><br \/>\nNORTHAM: Yes, that statue has been there for a long time.

When we take that honest look at our past, we must do more than just talk about the future. We must take action. So I am directing the Department of General Services to remove the statue of Robert E.

We had to edit it out so that I would have time to come in here and speak to you myself. Governor Ralph Northam gonna rip it down! He gonna rip down Robert E. Lee! Bye-bye, Dude.

You gotta keep the name Robert E. Lee alive because you gotta be able to talk about what he did.  You can take down the statue.  You\u2019re not gonna honor the guy anymore, but you gotta be able to tell the peeps what the guy did.  You gotta keep the name alive.  Racism needs a face, bigotry needs a face.
