(AP Photo/Steve Helber) L. Douglas Wilder may be a Democrat, but he still has some self-respect. Wilder was the first black governor of Virginia, and he has a long memory. He remembers two years ago, when Terry McAuliffe — now the Democratic candidate for governor — demanded the resignation of Gov. Ralph Northam over a blackface scandal. Now, McAuliffe is campaigning with Northam after edgjng out many black candidates in the Democratic primary.
Wilder demanded answers.
“You called on Ralph Northam to resign. Now, he didn’t resign. Why do you now seek his support … for your candidacy? I think it’s a legitimate question to ask,” the former governor said on the Jeff Katz radio show on Friday. “The people of Virginia have not forgotten, they’re not stupid. They’re not fooled, they’re not being hoodwinked.”
Wilder noted that in 2019, McAuliffe demanded the resignations of Northam, Lieutenant Governor Justin Fairfax, and Attorney General Mark Herring. Women had accused Fairfax — who is black — of sexual assault, which he denied. Herring had also confessed to a blackface scandal and had apologized. Now, Herring is running alongside McAuliffe — with McAuliffe’s support — to hold on to his office.
In a Facebook post sharing the radio hit, Wilder explained that “the media ran the story of two women accusing Lt. Gov. Fairfax of sexual assault, denied by Fairfax, but former Governor, McAuliffe, within minutes thereafter, proclaimed the accusations to be credible.” McAuliffe, who served as Virginia’s governor from 2014 to 2018, seemed to care enough about these issues that he denounced his fellow Democrats.
“No reasons have been given to the voters as to Terry’s change of mind” on Northam, Fairfax, or Herring, Wilder wrote.
The former governor said he would ask McAuliffe, “Have you changed your mind about any of this? And if not, then why not? Now, explain to the people of the commonwealth.”

Wilder also faulted McAuliffe for violating Virginia’s longstanding precedent “by choosing to run again, against persons who had far more experience than he, as he had never held elected office of any kind when he ran.”
Virginia’s first black governor noted that […]

Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
