FAKE NEWS ALERT: CNN Tries To Blame Republicans for Racist Democrat

While covering the story of Ralph Northam’s racist photo from his past, CNN “mistakenly” referred to him as a Republican. The Daily Caller reports:

CNN incorrectly labeled Ralph Northam as a Republican during a segment showing the embattled Virginia governor apologizing for a 1984 medical school yearbook picture.

The segment, which aired during Friday night’s episode of “Anderson Cooper 360,” showed a chyron identifying Northam as an “R” as the network ran his Twitter apology.

The almost 35-year-old racist picture shows one individual wearing blackface and another wearing a KKK robe. Northam so far hasn’t clarified which one is him, but either way the Virginia governor has already lost the support of several key constituencies, with more likely to follow.

“My fellow Virginians, earlier today I released a statement apologizing for behavior in my past that falls far short of the standard you set for me when you elected me to be your governor,” Northam wrote via a tweet that also included his on-air apology. “I believe you deserve to hear directly from me.

The entire scandal is particularly upsetting due to the fact that Northam unfairly labelled his Republican opponent as a racist.
