The progressive political group, Democracy for America, has withdrawn all “direct support” for gubernatorial candidate Ralph Northam because of his flip-flop on sanctuary cities. Northum now claims to be against sanctuary cities. From TheHill.com:
“Ralph Northam’s gutless, politically senseless, and morally debased decision yesterday to openly backtrack on his commitment to standing up for immigrant families is a picture-perfect example of why Democracy for America never endorsed him in the primary and focused the entirety of our efforts in Virginia on down-ticket races, like Justin Fairfax’s campaign for Lieutenant Governor. It’s also why, today, we’re announcing that we will no longer do any work to directly aid Northam’s gubernatorial efforts,” DFA Executive Director Charles Chamberlain said in a statement.
“Gutless” and “morally debased”? Nice.
The group had intended to help get out the vote for Northam. More here and here.
