Fox News Analyst to Northam: ‘Dig In’ Because Republicans Will Eventually Defend You From the ‘Lynch Mob’
With embattled Democratic Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam facing calls from his own party to step down after his yearbook blackface/KKK photo surfaced, Fox News politics editor Chris Stirewalt on Monday gave the embattled governor some advice: Dig in because Republicans will eventually come to your defense.
During an America’s Newsroom panel discussion on the pressure Northam faces to resign, Stirewalt at first poked fun at the governor for his widely mocked Saturday afternoon presser in which the governor almost moonwalked.
“I have to reach back to Mark Sanford to find a gubernatorial press conference as uniquely awful and terrible as that press conference,” Stirewalt observed, referencing the former South Carolina governor’s 2009 presser addressing his extramarital affair.
