Democratic National Committee chairman Tom Perez further complicated Virginia gubernatorial candidate Ralph Northam’s chances of winning the statewide election on Tuesday by refusing to unequivocally tell NBC’s Chuck Todd that people who drive pickup trucks aren’t racist.
DNC Chair Tom Perez didn’t do @RalphNortham any favors. Defended LVF ad & wouldn’t answer questions about Americans it stereotyped. #VAgov pic.twitter.com/8ZipkwTe1X

The reference is to an ad run by a group on behalf of Northam that depicts a truck with an Ed Gillespie sticker on it chasing down kids.
WTF? Just when you thought the Left's hits on Ed Gillespie couldn't sink lower https://t.co/BP0EPuEsqp

Seems like a pretty easy thing for any Democrat with half a brain to disavow. But apparently not the head of the party.
The Chairman of the DNC would (or could) not say that Virginians who drive pickup trucks are NOT all racists!?! https://t.co/YNY5o72Mfn
