Harris, Castro call on Northam to resign after blackface photo comes to light
The Washington Times ^ | February 1, 2019 | Dave Boyer

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.”

well, infanticide is ok. But dressing up in blackface is a crime against humanity.

Can I please get out of this insane asylum?!

It’s instructive that Northam got in trouble for a decades old “blackface” performance, not for supporting infanticide a few days ago.

BWAHAHAHHAA

Kamala Harris is corrupt as they come. As a District Attorney she left evil murderers off the hook despite pleas from family of murdered victims; she's strongly against the death penalty for murderers but she's fine with killing babies.

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.

The only reason he is toast is that the election season has started, and candidates have to one up each other flogging him. If it weren't an election year, they would rally around him, the media would let it slide, and we'd forget about it in a day.

Still, he became a political liability to them for it, and they must have been sitting on the yearbook, knowing they could use it when necessary to get the rising star Lt. Gov to take his place.

Yep, that’s hilarious. She doesn’t know the definition of a “higher standard.”

They should take appropriate steps to keep Northam comfortable, then they should discuss with his physicians exactly what they should do next (such as gently terminating his worthless life, with great mercy and compassion).

KKK is a Democrat invention. He has remained true to his roots. Why the outrage?

That’s because NBC gave Ted Danson the good plane.

The Ted Danson plane.

Especially since he has a black Lt. Governor to take his place.

“Only problem is, I suspect the Lt. Governor who would take his place is even more of a socialist...”

Doesn’t matter. As long as the Lt. Gov. is associated with the black-face racist governor, the Lt. Gov. needs to resign, too. The rules are in the ever-changing, minute-by-minute rat playbook called Alice-in-Wonderland.

That much chicken I’d need 8 Cokes.

But that’s just me.

Of course I might could eat ONE. I’d get the rest to go!

And my Coke drinks!
