Former Va. Rep. Jim Moran Defends Northam: ‘I Think It Is a Rush to Judgment’ to Call for Resignation

‘Even if the worst case scenario is true ... I think there is an issue of redemption’

RUSH EXCERPT:
MORAN: "I don't know whether it's tenable. I do think it's the right thing to do, and I hate to be on the other side of virtually all of my friends on this, but I do disagree with their judgment because I think it is a rush to judgment before we know all of the facts and before we have considered all of the consequences. Facts that we do know are that Ralph has expanded Medicaid to hundreds of thousands of uninsured virginians, a D disproportionate number of whom are African-Americans. He has invested in better preschools and public schools and minority neighborhoods. So we know what he has done as governor, you be even if the worst case scenario is true, George, I think there is an issue of redemption.”
