RICHMOND, Va. — A senior official in Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam's administration says the governor has told his top staff that he does not plan to resign over a racist photo despite intense pressure to step down. The official says Northam told his Cabinet during a Friday afternoon meeting that he intends to stay. The official was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity. Northam has faced widespread calls to step down over after his medical school yearbook page with a racist photo surfaced last week. It shows one person in blackface and another in a Ku Klux Klan robe and hood. Northam said last Friday that he was in the picture. On Saturday, he denied he was in the picture and said he was not immediately resigning but left his long-term fate unclear.

Democrats don’t resign unless you’ve got pictures of them grabbing a sleeping woman’s boobs. Do you know that?

His resignation would have triggered a cascade of resignations that would have installed a Republican into the statehouse. The left are all for purging Democrats who hurt The Narrative, but turning over seats to Republicans is where they draw the line.

The filthy bigot.

What’s next?

He’ll put on black face paint and do some old Amos And Andrea routines with Joy Behar?

Filthy, stinking racists.

Now would be a good time for a conservative PAC to run ads on black radio stations denouncing the racist Governor.

If Northam stays and Fairfax is forced to step down, things will spiral further downward for the Dems. The white guy keeps his job, while the black guy loses his. How will the Democrats spin that?

So the baby-killer is staying in office?

Well, Moloch errr Satan has to have his sacrifices.

Still, this will help keep a spotlight on the Democrats.

Fine, all of the top state government officials are tainted and nothing of consequence in Virginia will get done. I imagine the approval ratings are in the hole for all of them.

A face painter or a rapist, let the voters decide.

The title should read "Official: Infanticidal Gov. Northam tells staff he's staying"

Fine - let him finish his term - out in front of and for the people every day for the next two years - as a racist in the eyes of blacks, and a potential murderer in the eyes of much of the state overall - that’ll do loads for the ‘rat party in Virginia......
