Douglas Wilder, the <a href=\"https:\/\/virginiahistory.org\/learn\/l-douglas-wilder\">first<\/a> black governor in U.S. history, slammed Virginia Democrat gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe on Tuesday for reversing course on a racism scandal that hit the state a couple of years ago.<\/p>\n<p>McAuliffe, who has previously served as the state\u2019s governor and is seeking another term in office, has hit the campaign trail with Democrat Governor Ralph Northam. Northam previously was rocked by highly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/watch-democratic-va-governor-endorses-murder-born-ben-shapiro\">controversial<\/a> comments that he made about abortion and over a yearbook photo that emerged that he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/local\/virginia-politics\/va-gov-northams-medical-school-yearbook-page-shows-men-in-blackface-kkk-robe\/2019\/02\/01\/517a43ee-265f-11e9-90cd-dedb0c92dc17_story.html\">admitted<\/a> to being in that showed two people, including one in a KKK hood and the other in blackface.<\/p>\n<p>Wilder slammed McAuliffe in a post on social media titled, \u2018The People Deserve Answers,\u2019 for previously calling for the resignation of Northam and two other top Virginia Democrat politicians.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs I related to WRVA\u2019s Jeff Katz in a recent interview, I have been the beneficiary of much that has been done to eliminate the effects of racism in our state and nation,\u201d Wilder began. \u201cSacrifices beyond compare and description were made by those, mostly unnamed, unknown, regardless of race, to promote equality of opportunity and enhance possibilities. The statewide election this year in Virginia presents questions which require answers from those seeking to lead.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTwo years ago, Terry McAuliffe called for all three persons occupying the offices of Governor, Lt. Governor, and Atty. General to resign,\u201d Wilder wrote. \u201cGovernor Northam had been shown pictured in his school\u2019s yearbook in \u2018blackface\u2019 and subsequent revelations by A.G. Mark Herring acknowledged appearing in \u2018blackface\u2019 in 1985. The media ran the story of two women accusing Lt. Gov. Fairfax of sexual assault, denied by Fairfax, but former Governor, McAuliffe, within minutes thereafter, proclaimed the accusations to be credible. Today, McAuliffe is asking people to vote for that A.G. who served as his attorney general, and seeks the continuing support of Northam.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo reasons have been given to the voters as to Terry\u2019s change of mind,\u201d Wilder noted. \u201cNor has any reason been made why McAuliffe felt compelled to violate Virginia\u2019s long-standing precedent by choosing to run again, against persons who had far more experience than he, as he had never held elected office of any kind when he ran. All of the candidates he opposed except one, were Black, including two women, whom he felt not qualified to be given the chance that he had been given.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt last report, Northam has withdrawn his apology for \u2018blackface,&#8217;\u201d Wilder concluded. \u201cIs what Northam and Herring did\u2026alright by any standard? Is McAuliffe going to tell the voters of the \u2018credible\u2019 evidence that he has relative to Fairfax? Or does this suggest that if you\u2019re a Black person in Virginia, if you\u2019ve got to think about who you are going to vote for then \u2018you ain\u2019t Black.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Related:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><i><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
