High Profile Democrats call on Northum to Resign, As Governor Vows to Finish Term
CNN ^ | 2-1-2019 | Dan Merica

Posted on 02/01/2019 7:27:06 PM PST by tcrlaf

A series of prominent Democrats demanded Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam's resignation on Friday, excoriating him for appearing in a racist yearbook photo showing one person dressed in blackface and another in the KKK's signature white hood and robes.

The calls came from a number of 2020 presidential candidates, members of Congress and prominent liberal organizations, all of whom said Northam's apology on the issue was not enough. The NAACP also called for Northam to leave office. Those calls, however, were not echoed by Virginia Democrats, including Sens. Tim Kaine and Mark Warner. Both said they were shocked and offended by the photos, but in separate statements both said it was time for the governor to think about what comes next for him and to listen to those he has offended. Northam, for his part, has vowed to finish his one and only term as Virginia governor, issuing a video statement on Friday evening where he apologized but pledged to remain in office.

If his name were Clinton or Obama would they? Plenty of Gov’s out there.

Demonic-Rats have Northam’s abortion on their emergency schedule but only because his replacement is African-American!

He's definitely going to finish his term, but probably several years earlier than he intended to!        :-)

I don’t want Fairfax, the Lt. Gov., to get six years.

Nope, being a Baby Murderer is fine and dandy, but put on Black Face (except if you are Ted Danson when he was dating Whoopie Goldberg) and you are Toast.

Remember the new slogans, “Keep Fourth Trimester Abortions Legal” and “Infanticide, it’s not Murder anymore”.

“...Next up the Harris-Booker slug fest in the main arena....”

The RAT Party fractures will deepen. Kinda funny, two “blacks” fighting it out as members of the Party Of Slavery. My guess is they will try and “out conservative” each other. The best liar will win....(chuckle).

Retro-Active Abortions are the goal. One year, ten years, it’s anybody’s guess where the cutoff will be.

Wrong color eyes, wrong color hair... maybe little Johnny doesn’t want to be raised as little Joanie.

And then later... maybe the child doesn’t subscribe to the “accepted “ political philosophy....

But it will be all good. Because “abortion” is the magic word.

The ONLY thing they were “shocked and offended” by was that their buddy was found out...Truth is they really don’t give sh!t....Just have to act like they do...

He’ll probably announce his resignation during the opening kickoff of the Super Bowl.

'COONMAN'

CBS News uncovered a page from Northam's yearbook at the Virginia Military Institute which had nicknames listed underneath his name. One of them was "Coonman," a racial slur.

This is all theater meant to set the precedent to drive Trump from office over some silly thing he did or said 50 years ago.

That was the Billy Bush / Access Hollywood tape and #PoundMeToo.

It backfired, bigly.

This will too.
