IMO the likelihood that Trone has something Ralph Northam-esque in his past is quite high now. The money advantage isn't worth that risk. Heck, GOP opposition researchers may have already found it and used it to convince Hogan to run. Something is up here with the Dem establishment rallying so strongly around Alsobrooks at the last minute.
There's literally no reason to think this
Anyway, for better or worse, Trone wins by a hair
He literally just used an old racially inappropriate word at a campaign event with zero hesitation.
He very clearly misspoke during a congressional hearing (it wasn’t a campaign event, not sure where you’re getting that bit from) and accidentally said “jigaboo” instead of “bugaboo.” It is clear to the point that it’s pretty hard to believe anyone could watch the clip and believe in good-faith that it was anything more than a slip of the tongue. Respectfully, you seem to be a bit misinformed about what happened.
It's such an obscure old racist word, too, that it makes me worry more about senior moments than about closet racism.
