Mark Steyn pointed out something I hadn't realized--that the yearbook leak against Ralph Northam was done by a medical school colleague appalled by the Governor's abortion support.

A former medical colleague of Governor Ralph Northam, disgusted by the Democrat governor's enthusiasm for infanticide, leaked the old yearbook photo of him allegedly in blackface. (In turn, Lieutenant-Governor Fairfax now accuses Governor Northam of leaking details of the Democrat lieutenant-governor's #MeToo problem to prevent his succession.) The media's position on all of this is that it's cool to be pro-infanticide but not if you did minstrel jokes four decades ago.

You can see Steyn talk about this with Tucker Carlson here:

Steyn writes:

The lads at Huffington Post didn't care for the cut of my jib—which kind of made Tucker's point: that in America we're obligated to talk about these issues incessantly but only in the most absurd and trivial ways.

The Huffington Post put it this way:

Tucker Carlson Guest Calls Ralph Northam Controversy ‘A Kind Of Minstrel Show’
"In that we're sort of putting on a show about being concerned about black people," Mark Steyn told the Fox News host.

Of course Steyn's right—(a) this is about GoodWhites posturing against  BadWhites, not about blacks at all, and (b) apparently the only guy at the top levels of Virginia's Democratic Administration who didn't black up at some point is alleged rapist Justin Fairfax, who is naturally black.
