NPR interviews Patrick Howley, Big League Politics editor who published Northam photo. He says he got it from a "citizen journalist" on Friday (Feb 1) and published it the same day.

If this were a Dem plot to distract attention from the extreme abortion comments, as I've seen a few anons suggesting, is this how they would do it? Does it help them at all to have an author who has published multiple Q friendly stories get mentioned (if grudgingly) and interviewed by the MSM? I say a big NO.

But the Dem actions on this issue really don't help them with anyone. They are just showing how easily the get played. If they succeed in ousting Northram, as they probably will, this isn't really an overall win for them. Even to a Dem, they look like fools for allowing a "racist" to be their candidate, and to normal people they seem sheep, and even many non-political Dem voters are going to notice that they paid attention to a damn yearbook photo from decades ago, and NOT to MURDERING BABIES. The thing is that not everyone who actually votes for Dems wants to murder babies. There are really just a lot of clueless people.

I think there is considerable evidence that our side is behind this. Trump and Q knew.

Consider Trump's two tweets on this. They are masterful. First he ties the photo issue to the abortion comments and says "unforgivable". But MOST people are going to say that jokes that some don't find funny are definitely forgivable , but murdering babies is more on the unforgivable side. And then he blasts the Republican operatives for Ed Gillespie (who lost to Northam). Their REAL error was failing to advise Gillespie that trying to maintain his distance from Trump was a big loser.

A reasonable view anon, but here is one argument against it:

Many of the people running their political/media strategy are among the MOST corrupt. They DON'T THINK THERE IS ANYTHING WRONG with what Northam said. The Virginia abortion bill was ALREADY defeated, and now Northam is being kept in the limelight, and POTUS is tweeting on his "super late term abortion" views.
