would appreciate that simple black-white focus. OF COURSE they're trying to sow dissension between POC Democrats and the rest of the party. OF COURSE they're trying to sow dissension between women Democrats and the rest of the party.
Don't look past, at them, and wonder who else is behind this attempt to take out the Democrats Virginia voters elected.
NYT:
With Northam Picture, Obscure Publication Plays Big Role in Virginia Politics
A racist photograph on the 1984 yearbook page of Gov. Ralph Northam of Virginia. An accusation of sexual assault against Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax. Both reports — the first triggering an earthquake in Virginia politics last week, the second setting off an aftershock on Monday — were originally published by an obscure right-wing news site, Big League Politics, which has promoted conspiracy theories and written favorably about white nationalist candidates. ...
And Mr. Fritsch, a North Carolina-based political consultant, has worked for Paul Nehlen, an anti-Semitic Wisconsin congressional candidate who challenged former House Speaker Paul D. Ryan, and Roy Moore, the Alabama Senate candidate accused of sexual misconduct with teenagers. Last year, Mr. Fritsch was fired as a top aide by Corey Stewart, the Republican senatorial nominee in Virginia, after reports of anti-Muslim comments he had made on social media, as well as saying Senator John McCain “sold all his comrades down the river” as a prisoner of war in Vietnam.
Mr. Howley, before hanging up his own agitprop shingle, had a rocky tour of duty at some of Washington’s leading conservative news organizations. Provocation is a stock-in-trade for right-wing writers in Washington, but former colleagues said Mr. Howley’s behavior, in public tweets and private emails, went beyond mischief and into darker territory. His tenure at The Daily Caller, then overseen by Tucker Carlson, was marred by a vicious online attack directed at a female reporter for BuzzFeed News; Mr. Howley later apologized.
Later, at Breitbart News, Mr. Howley earned colleagues’ ire when he questioned the credibility of Michelle Fields, a Breitbart reporter who said she was assaulted by Mr. Trump’s campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, at a Florida rally. Mr. Howley, 29, co-founded Big League Politics in 2017, after deciding that Breitbart, which had aggressively backed Mr. Trump’s presidential campaign, had gone soft. In an article in The Daily Caller in 2017, Mr. Howely called the conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, who has claimed the Sandy Hook school massacre was faked, as “basically my Walter Cronkite now.’’ ...
On Monday, The Washington Post said it had been aware of the accusation for more than a year, and had investigated but declined to publish a story because it could not corroborate the woman’s account or find people she had told about the alleged assault. Mr. Howley defended running the story without trying to verify its truthfulness. ...
