Her apology came months after Gov. Ralph Northam apologized for his yearbook photo featuring someone in blackface and someone in a Ku Klux Klan hood.
Then the SPLC interim president made a truly bizarre suggestion: "The rise in hate incidents on high school and college campuses across the country contradicts the response of some elected officials that Governor Ivey's actions were just 'youthful indiscretions' of a college student in 1967.".
The SPLC remained silent when Northam contradicted his initial apology.
A search for Northam on the SPLC website brings up three articles, two of which note that Northam declared a state of emergency for the anniversary of the Charlottesville riots and one of which noted Northam's veto of an anti-sanctuary state measure.
The SPLC did mention Northam's blackface scandal in one tweet - but only referencing it as the background for a report on a white supremacist tattoo.
Note the SPLC's rank hypocrisy: When a Democrat governor appears in a blackface and KKK photo, the organization that bankrupted the KKK is silent.
When a Republican governor reportedly wore blackface in college 50 years ago, the interim president writes a Jeremiad.Democrat blackface and KKK hoods are not worth remarking upon.
