So Stephanie Ruhl just had some guests on MSNBC discussing Northam, and somebody brought up a point that I’m embarrassed I hadn’t realized until now —

“A Ku Klux Klan costume is not something you pick up at Party City. The fact that somebody wore that to their party, means somebody he’s friends with has a close enough association with a domestic terror organization to know where to borrow such the outfit.”

Whoosh. Game, set, match.

The other guest was pointing out how much black people already have reason to distrust the medical profession (black patients are less likely to be given pain meds when they need it, black woman are 4x more likely to die in childbirth because doctors don’t take it seriously when they have complications, and of course the Tuskegee experiments) — so this party being at a medical school makes it an extra layer of WFT-ery.

Good points all around about how the outfit was procured and the medical community. That to me has been one of the most disturbing parts of the story. There have been other photos from the yearbook.
