Speaker 1: There's an election coming up this year in Virginia. Getting
Speaker 1: the most attention is the governor's race in Virginia. Terry
Speaker 1: mccaulloff's lieutenant governor, Ralph Northam, had a big early lead
Speaker 1: and he was supposed to walk away with this. But
Speaker 1: his Republican challenger, Ed Gillespie has surged in the polls
Speaker 1: and even pulled ahead in a couple of them. So
Speaker 1: the Democrats went racial, but not in the way you
Speaker 1: would expect, and this time it might backfire. Now. The
Speaker 1: Democrat Ralph Northam's campaign sent out this big direct mail
Speaker 1: flyer targeting union workers across the state, but the campaign
Speaker 1: air brushed out the name and face of his running mate,
Speaker 1: guy named Justin Fairfax, who happens to be African American.
Speaker 1: The Democrats just erased this guy from the flyer. Maybe
Speaker 1: they thought nobody would notice, but they were wrong. The
Speaker 1: drive by media asked why the black guy was erased
Speaker 1: from the flyer. The campaign claimed race had nothing to
Speaker 1: do with it. They said that Northam's black running mate
Speaker 1: was air brushed because he was a negative on an issue.
Speaker 1: He opposed a pipeline in northern Virginia and union workers
Speaker 1: wanted campaign expects everybody to buy this explanation Hooklin and sinker. Now,
Speaker 1: maybe they'll get away with this. I mean their Democrats
Speaker 1: and the media loves them. But imagine if a Republican
Speaker 1: running for governor with a black running mate just erased him.
Speaker 1: You think the media would let anybody get away with it.
Speaker 1: They'd be slamming that Republican seven. You wouldn't know about it,
Speaker 1: You wouldn't have to be hearing about it from me.
