    In a tweet Saturday night, Trump refers to Northam and the photo showing a person in blackface and a person in Ku Klux Klan regalia. Trump ties the governor’s statement denying he is in the photo to what Trump calls Northam’s “horrible statement” earlier this week on late-term abortions. Trump concludes, “Unforgivable!”

    Earlier this week, abortion opponents accused Northam of supporting infanticide. In a radio interview, Northam described a hypothetical situation in which an infant who is severely deformed or unable to survive after birth is left to die.

    Trump tweeted after those comments that “Democrats are becoming the Party of late term abortion.”

    (Breitbart) – Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) has spent two weeks proving that Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) made a big mistake promoting her to the House Foreign Affairs Committee — an error that is hurting her party and the country.In the past several days, Omar has:
    Failed to apologize for an antisemitic tweet that, she says, she now realizes is “offensive,” but refuses to delete;
    Mocked the idea that Israel is a democracy, comparing it to Iran and saying it should not be accepted as a “Jewish state” — then doubled down; and
    Justified writing a letter to a judge in 2016 asking for a lenient sentence for nine Somali-Americans who were convicted of trying to join the so-called “Islamic State,” or ISIS.
    (Omar has also defended the autocratic socialist regime of Venezuelan strongman Nicolas Maduro, accusing the U.S. of a “coup” by supporting the opposition, which she falsely called “far right.”)
    The result has been a public relations mess for Democratic Party leaders. They have been at pains this week to defend Omar as well as fellow first-year Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), as the Capitol Hill press corps has finally begun to ask whether their hostility to Israel goes too far.

    If Trump is so clean, let him allow the Apprentice to release production tapes where he is alleged to repeatedly use racial slurs.

    To #3- I have news for you; those tapes don’t exist. If so, they would have been released a long time ago. Trump does not control the release of the Apprentice tapes. It was all a phony story made up by Amarosa, for publicity. However, I agree that the idiotic Governor of Virginia should resign now.
