Northam declines to moonwalk during press conference

Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam (D) declined a reporter's request to perform Michael Jackson's "moonwalk" dance during a press conference after he said he wore blackface in the 1980s while dressed as the performer.

**SNIP**

"That same year [as the previous racist photo was taken], I did participate in a dance contest in San Antonio [Texas], in which I darkened my face as part of a Michael Jackson costume," Northam told reporters Saturday at a press conference.

"I look back now and I regret that I did not understand the harmful legacy of an action like that," Northam said. "It is because my memory of that episode is so vivid, that I truly do not believe I am in the picture in my yearbook."

"Governor Mengele is going down, for the wrong reason I think, but I’m sure not complaining about it."

Actually I am. I'll tell you why. I'm not a conspiracy theorist but several people are talking about how these pictures have been known in some circles for years (Dan Bongino). If that's true, then obviously they weren't Republican circles because this would have been used by Gillespie against him in the governor's race. I think Dem operatives released these. It's a little too coincidental that a few days after his insane remarks about infanticide comes out these pictures come out. Notice how all the Dem Presidential candidates can now condemn him and tell him to resign? Not one has had to answer the question of if they support his comments on infanticide.

Nebuchadnezzar was cursed to eat grass like an animal.

Northam is eating his words in public humiliation.

God is not mocked. Abortion and infanticide are an abomination.

“Just thought of it - would it be racist to dress up as Northam dressed up as Michael Jackson?”

Okay, knock it off!

You are making my head hurt thinking about what you posted, and my wife keeps looking at me chuckling to my self.

I’m praying 24/7 there’s a video of Northam moon-walking in blackface.....taken at the Michael Jackson contest.

Not 100% sure that is the same pair of plaid pants

Like camouflage, cloth isn't necessarily chosen as to where the bands of plaid align—and get sewn.

If the plaid bands fall appropriately, then a match is highly likely.
