Former Virginia Democrat Governor L. Douglas Wilder, the first black governor in U.S. history, slammed Virginia Democrat gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe on Tuesday for reversing course on a racism scandal that hit the state a couple of years ago.

McAuliffe, who has previously served as the state’s governor and is seeking another term in office, has hit the campaign trail with Democrat Governor Ralph Northam. Northam previously was rocked by highly controversial comments that he made about abortion and over a yearbook photo that emerged that he admitted to being in that showed two people, including one in a KKK hood and the other in blackface.
