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.

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.

What’s so funny is the Democrats are fine with him murdering babies, but God forbid he should dress up in the 80’s in black face.

Shaking my head, these folks are crazy.

They'll still have Fairfax in their pocket. The money was to keep a Republican out of the Governorship.

No problem with his views on murdering newborns, but raise hell because he wore blackface decades ago? Libs have no respect for life

Dems were cool with the baby murdering. It was the 35-year old blackface photo that sealed his fate.

Democrats have strange priorities.

And the other thought is God got rid of him. Couldn’t convince these idiots to stop murdering babies so he unveiled the one thing that would make the dems go nuts.

Hoping he’ll go after the ones in NY!!

Yes, Northam committed the worst possible sin a Democrat can make. He revealed what they really think.
