(CNN) - That sound you hear is Virginia's Democratic Party collapsing on itself.
In the last six days, the following things have happened:
Gov. Ralph Northam said he was in a picture in his medical school yearbook of two people -- one in blackface, the other in KKK robes. He then recanted and said he wasn't in that picture. But he added that he *had* darkened his face to look more like Michael Jackson for a dance contest in 1984.
A woman named Vanessa Tyson accused Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax of assaulting her during the 2004 Democratic National Convention in Boston. Fairfax angrily denied the allegations. Then on Wednesday Tyson released a statement, in which she said in part "what began as consensual kissing quickly turned into a sexual assault."
State Attorney General Mark Herring, in a statement released Wednesday morning, acknowledged that he, too, had appeared in blackface at a party. "In 1980, when I was a 19-year-old undergraduate in college, some friends suggested we attend a party dressed like rappers we listened to at the time, like Kurtis Blow, and perform a song," Herring said.
What. The. Actual. Hell.

Actually, they’ve taken over the state.
At this point are there any democratic office holders who have NOT appeared in blackface? Just wondering.
What do you mean “complete collapse” of Democrat Party?
They are still in power, and likely will win the next election!
“Democratic Richmond Mayor LeVar Stoney over who leaked the Fairfax allegation”
That’s a new one to me.
PLEASEEEEEEEEEE Virginians please don’t let the media sweep this under the rug!! Don’t let them toss it into the sea of forgetfulness! The RNC will not fight for you...VA PATRIOTS IT’S UP TO YOU!!!!
[ That sound you hear is Virginia’s Democratic Party collapsing on itself. ]
Boy, that’s a bad week for Democrats when they’ve lost the Communist News Network.
And if I had read the whole article, this Stoney guy wants to be govenor. Clearing the path, maybe?
The Governor is teetering.
The Lt.-Governor is teetering.
Next in line - the Republican AG, who’s apparently scandal-free.
Yes, the Virginia Democrats are in deep **** - and it couldn’t have happened to a more-deserving bunch of bozos!!!
I wore blackface as part of a school play in 1966. Should I confess ?
Bah.
There’s only one statewide Party in Virginia...
The NOVA Party.
Conveniently ignoring the precipitating event:
Public support of baby killing.
After that 2016 race baiting video which gov. black-white face did not not disavow, and the media supported, karma has a vengeance! The video of the red neck with the confederate flag pickup chasing representatives from all minorities was despicable. Never have I seen worse.
Do you really think the voters will see the folly of their ways? We can always hope.
If God hadn’t loved the collapse of Democrats in places like Virginia then He wouldn’t have invented popcorn.
Get a big bowl out tonight.
As a nondrinker I will add for those of you who imbibe:
Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.
—Benjamin Franklin
but, sadly, this quote is apparently a phony: In an undated letter to the Abbe Morellet, Franklin wrote (this is a translation of the original French): “We hear of the conversion of water into wine at the marriage in Cana, as of a miracle. But this conversion is, through the goodness of God, made every day before our eyes. Behold the rain which descends from heaven upon our vineyards, and which incorporates itself with the grapes to be changed into wine; a constant proof that God loves us, and loves to see us happy!”-—Fred Shapiro in Quotes Uncovered.
I wore black, green, and brown face archery hunting deer and turkey. I haven’t repented, I intend to do it some more. I don’t moonwalk while I do it. It’s to noisey. Besides that moonwalking in a tree stand is silly and dangerous.
its funny- in Nov of 2017 all we heard from the media was what an overwhelming victory it was for the rats in the state- a complete repudiation of Donald Trump...and look where we are today...
You just did.
The democratic party is now the party of BLACK FACE
