Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring (D) resigned as co-chair of the Democratic Attorneys General Association Wednesday following the revelation that he wore blackface during his college years.
“Virginia AG Herring offered to step aside as co-chair and the committee accepted,” a DACA spokesperson said in a statement.
In a meeting with black lawmakers earlier Wednesday, Herring admitted to wearing “brown makeup” as part of a costume to resemble rapper Kurtis Blow. “It sounds ridiculous even now writing it. But because of our ignorance and glib attitudes – and because we did not have an appreciation for the experiences and perspectives of others – we dressed up and put on wigs and brown makeup,” Herring said in a statement.
“That conduct clearly shows that, as a young man, I had a callous and inexcusable lack of awareness and insensitivity to the pain my behavior could inflict on others,” he continued. “It was really a minimization of both people of color, and a minimization of a horrific history I knew well even then.”
The revelation came as Gov. Ralph Northam (D) and Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax (D) face scandals of there own, plunging the Commonwealth further into political turmoil. Leading Democrats and Republicans are demanding Northam step aside after a racist photo appeared in his 1984 yearbook.

Several Democrat presidential contenders, including Sens. Kamala Harris (D-CA) and Obama-era HUD Secretary Julian Castro, were among those calling for the governor to leave his post. “Leaders are called to a higher standard, and the stain of racism should have no place in the halls of government.

Popcorn futures. Buy all you can.
Haha!
I agree!
I’m Gumby dammit!
Eddie Murphy in Greenface. Kermit the Frog never got over it.
It is time for Conservatives to refuse to be cowed by these idiotic SJW attacks.
I have an insatiable appetite for MORE popcorn!!!
Herring is a racist who wore blackface. He must also resign as VA Attorney General; we can’t have a racist lawyer in chief prosecuting people of different skin colors.
This is extremely entertaining. Rat are being outed for the closet racists that they are LOLOLOL!
If this is the new standard, then nobody except Christ can run for President because we all did shady stuff in the past.
Why isn’t this clown resigning his office? After all, he demanded that Northam resign last week for the same thing.
He did NOT resign as the AG though!!
The Democrats are geniuses...
1. Most Trannies are Leftist. They cannot reproduce.
2. Most LGBTQ are Leftist. Many do not have kids.
3. Abortion is mainly for/targeted towards Leftist in Lefty areas.
1+2+3 = They are killing their party off.
I’m sure that will follow soon.
“Watch DemRat operatives start digging up Trump’s years in high school or college, or other Republicans.”
That is probably going on as we speak. The VA dems will be thrown under the bus for the greater good of going after Republicans who committed similar “crimes”.
These two and Lizzy Warren should all resign.
At one time, Lizzie called on Al Frankenstein AND Wells Fargo CEO to resign. What’s good for the goose, and all.
After suddenly remembering the SNL show of black baseball players being remembered by two whites (Billy Crustal was one) in realistic total blackface and wigs, I now recall Grace Slick of the Jefferson Airplane on the Dick Cavett Show with blackface. https://dangerousminds.net/comments/grace_slicks_insane_and_mercifully_short_lived_blackface_phase

Jun 7, 2017 - Billy Crystal and Christopher Guest, who is unrecognizable in his make-up, are two baseball players from the Negro Leagues and they talk to …
Note: I totally forgot Crystal used to imitate Sammy Davis Jr., too!
So what..it’s only the co-chair of the Democratic Attorneys General Association.
He did NOT resign AG!
Expelled for wearing blackface but the MSM is not concerned about his statement supporting infanticide.
Nah....no shame.
