Speaker 1

There's an election coming up this year in Virginia. Getting the most attention is the governor's race in Virginia. Terry mccaulloff's lieutenant governor, Ralph Northam, had a big early lead and he was supposed to walk away with this. But his Republican challenger, Ed Gillespie has surged in the polls and even pulled ahead in a couple of them. So the Democrats went racial, but not in the way you

would expect, and this time it might backfire. Now. The Democrat Ralph Northam's campaign sent out this big direct mail flyer targeting union workers across the state, but the campaign air brushed out the name and face of his running mate, guy named Justin Fairfax, who happens to be African American. The Democrats just erased this guy from the flyer. Maybe they thought nobody would notice, but they were wrong. The drive by media asked why the black guy was erased

from the flyer. The campaign claimed race had nothing to do with it. They said that Northam's black running mate was air brushed because he was a negative on an issue. He opposed a pipeline in northern Virginia and union workers wanted campaign expects everybody to buy this explanation Hooklin and sinker. Now, maybe they'll get away with this. I mean their Democrats and the media loves them. But imagine if a Republican running for governor with a black running mate just erased him.

You think the media would let anybody get away with it. They'd be slamming that Republican seven. You wouldn't know about it, You wouldn't have to be hearing about it from me.
