Presidential candidates Sen. Kamala Harris and Julian Castro were among prominent Democrats calling on Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam to resign Friday night over a photograph of him in a racist costume.

Ms. Harris, California Democrat, tweeted, “Leaders are called to a higher standard, and the stain of racism should have no place in the halls of government. The Governor of Virginia should step aside so the public can heal and move forward together.”

Mr. Castro, mayor of San Antonio, Texas, said it “doesn’t matter if he is a Republican or a Democrat.”

Harris and Castro didn't seem to have a problem with Northam when he advocated infanticide.

well, infanticide is ok. But dressing up in blackface is a crime against humanity. Those are their views and priorities of the offenses against them.

I love it when Democrats eat their own.

Only problem is, I suspect the Lt. Governor who would take his place is even more of a socialist, but I don’t know for sure.

I think the Gov went too far defending infanticide so the Dems are throwing him overboard by leaking his yearbook pics. Dems running for President cant have infanticide ruining their shot.

I don’t know why so many Freepers thought this guy would skate from this. Anything smacking of racism is the gravest possible sin amongst Democrats.

To the demonicRATs, “blackface” is a firing-squad offense, but slaughtering babies is a sacred, constitutionally protected rite.

Kick him when he’s down. Don’t just let the Democrats deal with him. They will pull their punches.

Castro, said it “doesn’t matter if he is a Republican or a Democrat.”

Also could be said as “doesn’t matter if he is a Klansman or a Stepin Fetchit”

That may be, they sure don’t want anything to suggest they don’t support abortion (murder).

This baby murdering, racist Doctor/ Governor is the face of the Dem party and if he is forced out we can declare a major victory for pro-life. No matter what the left says.

I’ll bet ALL incriminating evidence, for all politicians, is databased, just waiting for the right ‘application’.
