WEBVTT - Rush Limbaugh October 24th 2017

0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:03.680
<v Speaker 1>There's an election coming up this year in Virginia. Getting

0:00:03.680 --> 0:00:07.680
<v Speaker 1>the most attention is the governor's race in Virginia. Terry

0:00:07.720 --> 0:00:12.360
<v Speaker 1>mccaulloff's lieutenant governor, Ralph Northam, had a big early lead

0:00:12.560 --> 0:00:14.800
<v Speaker 1>and he was supposed to walk away with this. But

0:00:14.960 --> 0:00:18.360
<v Speaker 1>his Republican challenger, Ed Gillespie has surged in the polls

0:00:18.400 --> 0:00:20.320
<v Speaker 1>and even pulled ahead in a couple of them. So

0:00:20.360 --> 0:00:22.800
<v Speaker 1>the Democrats went racial, but not in the way you

0:00:22.840 --> 0:00:26.400
<v Speaker 1>would expect, and this time it might backfire. Now. The

0:00:26.480 --> 0:00:30.479
<v Speaker 1>Democrat Ralph Northam's campaign sent out this big direct mail

0:00:30.560 --> 0:00:34.960
<v Speaker 1>flyer targeting union workers across the state, but the campaign

0:00:35.200 --> 0:00:38.560
<v Speaker 1>air brushed out the name and face of his running mate,

0:00:38.760 --> 0:00:42.440
<v Speaker 1>guy named Justin Fairfax, who happens to be African American.

0:00:42.440 --> 0:00:46.040
<v Speaker 1>The Democrats just erased this guy from the flyer. Maybe

0:00:46.040 --> 0:00:48.440
<v Speaker 1>they thought nobody would notice, but they were wrong. The

0:00:48.600 --> 0:00:52.720
<v Speaker 1>drive by media asked why the black guy was erased

0:00:53.080 --> 0:00:56.240
<v Speaker 1>from the flyer. The campaign claimed race had nothing to

0:00:56.280 --> 0:00:59.360
<v Speaker 1>do with it. They said that Northam's black running mate

0:00:59.360 --> 0:01:02.960
<v Speaker 1>was air brushed because he was a negative on an issue.

0:01:03.040 --> 0:01:06.679
<v Speaker 1>He opposed a pipeline in northern Virginia and union workers

0:01:06.720 --> 0:01:11.000
<v Speaker 1>wanted campaign expects everybody to buy this explanation Hooklin and sinker. Now,

0:01:11.120 --> 0:01:14.160
<v Speaker 1>maybe they'll get away with this. I mean their Democrats

0:01:14.160 --> 0:01:17.039
<v Speaker 1>and the media loves them. But imagine if a Republican

0:01:17.240 --> 0:01:20.640
<v Speaker 1>running for governor with a black running mate just erased him.

0:01:20.720 --> 0:01:23.480
<v Speaker 1>You think the media would let anybody get away with it.

0:01:23.520 --> 0:01:27.120
<v Speaker 1>They'd be slamming that Republican seven. You wouldn't know about it,

0:01:27.160 --> 0:01:28.760
<v Speaker 1>You wouldn't have to be hearing about it from me.
