Former Virginia Gov. Doug Wilder is seeking “answers” from fellow Democrat Terry McAuliffe about reversing his condemnation of the state’s current Democratic leaders during blackface and sexual assault scandals — all while blocking black candidates from securing the Democratic gubernatorial nomination by seeking a second nonconsecutive term as governor.

Wilder, who was the first-ever black politician to be elected governor of a U.S. state in 1989, wrote in a Facebook post on Tuesday about McAuliffe’s previous condemnations of current Democratic Gov. Ralph Northam and Democratic Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax.
