Northam: Virginia ‘Still Has a Lot of Work To Do’ on Race Relations

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:

REPORTER: "Why do you feel like this is the best way forward for Virginia for you to stay in office? Democratic leaders say they've lost trust new. In you."
NORTHAM: "Sure. What I really want to do is talk about the racism and bigotry that I've fought so long and hard. When the white supremacists marched into Charlottesville, I was there with then-governor McAuliffe and our attorney general, denouncing that. And so I have felt very strongly about that. We still have a lot of issues to work on as we move forward, as I talk about inequities in access to voting, access to education, health care, the justice system. So we still have a lot of work to do. I really think this is probably a good opportunity to -- you know, to talk about that issue with what has happened this week."
