>Q team has everything on Northham–the massive number of missing children around VA, the voter fraud, etc.
>Q team forces Northam to make outrageous comments on abortion in order to force a national conversation on abortion, energize the right, expose Democratic insanity
>Blackface photo deployed on first day of Black History Month in order to force the Northam's exit from politics and into a cell in Gitmo.
We are watching a movie.
