Algore Offers Ralph Northam Redemption
< < Go Back
RUSH:… So Governor Northam has been planning a rehabilitation tour and a listening tour. He’s been going around the state to listen to what people think about blackface and what he can learn about the fact that it is wrong. And then out of the blue came Vice President Algore! “Former Vice President Al Gore said Democratic Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam can fulfill his ‘racial reconciliation’ pledge by opposing the Atlantic Coast pipeline, which he called a ‘racist rip-off.’
“‘This is an ideal opportunity for him to say, “I’ve seen the light,”‘ Gore said at an anti-pipeline town hall in a historically black part of Buckingham County, Virginia, as part of an ‘Environmental Justice Tour,’” Algore is on, by the way. All that he would have to do is to oppose — promise to oppose — the Atlantic Coast Pipeline, and Gore assured him everybody upset that he had appeared in blackface would immediately forgive him. Okay?

But wait! But wait!
I thought Algore offered freedom.
I thought Algore offered penance.
(reading in a southern accent) “Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam (D) canceled a visit to Virginia Union University, a historically black college, following protests from students. ‘While I appreciate @VAUnion1865’s invitation to attend tomorrow’s chapel service, I respect the wishes of the student body,’ he tweeted on Wednesday. ‘In lieu of my attendance, I will host the Richmond 34 at the Executive Mansion on Friday to honor their bravery and courage.’”
